An event organised by Concrete Communities, a platform for exploring the disconnect between design industry professionals and members of the public. Event 004 examined the concept of ‘light’. The health benefits of living and working in an environment with ample amounts of natural light, in addition to well-designed and well-executed artificial lighting are universally acknowledged.

Sheffield-based furniture retailer Nest hosted the talk, a company synonymous with lighting. Concrete Communities 004 brought together a panel of experts in the fields of lighting, design and architecture to debate how light makes us feel, with the Nest showroom at Park Hill as the chosen venue.

We also had the opportunity to tour the partially renovated Park Hill estate as well as visit a number of other iconic modernist spaces and buildings in the city of Sheffield.
