The Daylight Award presents: Conversation About Architecture and Neuroscience

Juhani Pallasmaa, a globally renowned architect and writer, and Selma Tir, a rising neuroscientist from the University of Oxford, come together in this cross-disciplinary conversation to explore the profound role of daylight in our lives. With over six decades of experience, Pallasmaa has dedicated his career to architecture, teaching, and lecturing worldwide, inspiring generations through his reflections on the sensory and existential dimensions of design. Tir, an emerging researcher specializing in circadian rhythms, offers a fresh, scientific perspective on how modern light environments influence human physiology and behaviour. This intergenerational dialogue bridges architecture and neuroscience, uncovering how daylight shapes our spaces, emotions, and well-being. About the speakers: Juhani Pallasmaa With a career spanning over six decades, Pallasmaa is a globally renowned architect, philosopher, and writer. Known for his poetic approach to architecture, he has dedicated much of his life to teaching, mentoring, and lecturing across the world. His reflections on the sensory, existential, and emotional dimensions of daylight have profoundly influenced generations of architects. Selma Tir A promising young researcher from the University of Oxford, Tir brings a fresh perspective to the discussion. Specializing in circadian rhythms, her work focuses on how modern light environments impact human physiology and behaviour. This intergenerational exchange bridges the worlds of architecture and neuroscience, demonstrating how a seasoned thinker and a rising researcher inspire one another in their shared quest to understand the transformative power of daylight. About the Daylight Conversations The Daylight Award fosters a holistic understanding of daylight’s role in research and practice. Every two years, it honours a researcher and an architect for their contributions. To further bridge disciplines and spark dialogue, The Daylight Award has launched a series of video conversations exploring the many facets of daylight.
