On the occasion of the launch of her book CRÉATION LUMIÈRE (Archibooks), Akari-Lisa Ishii will share her vision of lighting design, shaped by over twenty years of projects around the world. The book provides a framework for understanding the diverse roles light can play in our environments, from everyday spaces to cultural settings. In this conference, she will explore how light can reveal, transform, and enchant spaces, in dialogue with the ways they are used and experienced.

Based on projects carried out by the agency Faire for several luxury houses, from Paris to Sydney, this roundtable explores how craftsmanship can become a true driving force in interior design.

As electric mobility becomes increasingly part of our daily lives—from cars to e-bikes and scooters—a major question arises in architectural design: how can charging stations be sustainably integrated into buildings? This conference provides a detailed look at the challenges of installing these facilities: regulatory framework, best practices for planning their implementation, and choosing strategic locations in both individual homes and multi-unit residences. A session to consider today how to ensure safety and harmony between charging infrastructure and architectural projects.

How can a space be translated into a fragrance, and a fragrance into an architectural experience? FORMÆ presents Onze, an olfactory creation imagined by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and perfumer Emmanuelle Grin, in collaboration with publisher Sébastien Maschino. This fragrance extends the space beyond its walls, embodying verticality, the memory of places, and light. It will be revealed through a contemporary dance performance blending body, material, and design, where movement expresses the emotion of the fragrance. This session explores the role of olfactory design: how can a fragrance become a fully integrated material in architectural and sensory projects?
