With Led’s lumi- nance, the natural brilliance of the colors in the painting are enhanced, because the higher the luminance the higher the color reflectance. Regarding perception, the observers prefer Led light when both lightings are compared simultaneously. This is asso- ciated with the technical parameters of this type of light. On the contrary, when the lighting is perceived individually and independently, the majority of the participants prefer the Halogen. This suggests that the human habit of ob- serving with Halogen artificial light, gives them the sense of a better perception with this source. When illuminating with Led, while there is the tendency to a wide acceptance, people are not fully adapted to this type of light, yet. Judging from the answers obtained, Halogen light is con- sidered to generate an unsaturated perception of the image, while Led light offers a clearer and heightened observation. We arrived at this conclusion, at a perceptive level, when watching both images at the same time, as well as a tech- nical level with the study of the luminances, establishing that even with a low emission of energy and the same amount of light, a clearer and sharper perception of the work of art was achieved with Led light. Concerning the investigation, we can consider for a future study a larger sample with people of different conditions, to expand the results. Also, tests can be done using other type of projectors and lamps with different parameters, in order to investigate the influence of light in perception, in- creasing or modifying the variables of the present experi- ment. On the other hand, even though the investigation was done on a specific painting, it could be extended to a classification of various types of paintings, with different color schemes and sizes, which could provide us with more information on the perception with Halogen light and Led light. Lastly, it should be noted, that by doing a technical and thorough investigation of the illumination of works of art, the lighting parameters of each source and the visual results obtained with them were assessed, emphasizing that the perception of light is an important topic and it is necessary to continue its study and investigation. NEW TALENTS NEW WAYS OF COMMUNICATING DESIGN The appearance of technology has brought more than mere convenience; it has changed the way we think and look at the world. The intrusion of social networks in our day to day has changed the way we live. Our homes and workspaces are not the same any- more. Now, we can perform activities that were previously unthinkable such as, buy and sell from our phones or promote our creations. The key word in this process is: communication. How does this affect design? Can we change the way we communicate archi- tecture? In this time of changes, why use the same languages? This is what we asked architect, Nicolás Capo when he decided to start his own studio, HUNICA. Editorial Staff iCandela: What is your background? What were you doing before launching HUNICA? Nicolás Capo: I graduated in the School of Architecture in Barcelona, where I coursed the regulated studies very swiftly. While in my profession, I became interested in dis- ciplines that at the time were novel, such as: parametric design, 3D mapping of cities, programming interactivities in Arduino or BIM, when nobody was talking about them yet. It was a very interesting time for my career. ESiC: Why did you decide to start your own studio? NC: Primarily, I needed a space where I could investigate the new disciplines that held my interest. Working in other offices you learn to work as an architect and there, I noticed the many things that could be improved in the habitual practice of an office. It was in the air: 3D Printing, Visual Mappings, Rendering in real time, etc. My bosses loved my ideas but never resolved to carry them out, so I decided to do it myself. I returned to Barcelona and settled into a space that belonged to my family and was at my disposal. I started from the bottom, even precariously. With my sav- ings, I bought from a gamer, a couple of 3D printers and a powerful second-hand, computer, by parts. I built a ta- ble where I could draw and conceptualize everything that I wanted to develop. And HUNICA was born, we had the chance of revolutionizing the way in which a project was communicated to the client or investor, and even the way we did our work. The clients starting arriving. Now, we have moved twice and we have grown in equipment and in collaborators. ESiC: What positive aspects are gained in this “revolu- tion” of communication in design and architecture? NC: The new tools don’t step on tradition. Even if some- times it seems that way, I believe the screen will never substitute the feeling of paper. New technologies offer the possibility of working with new languages that were im- possible to address until now. They are not the solution, they are the medium; a medium we can use to represent our ideas. Showing ideas such as sound, light, movement, time, the invisible, etc., with the traditional methods, was very difficult, if not impossible. Computers are more pow- erful; the new software, high speed internet in any device, not only have changed our daily lives, but have changed the language of design in our times. ESiC: What does HUNICA have to offer? NC: HUNICA was born as a space for investigation and development of solutions through the use of new tech- nologies applied to the field of architecture and design. Among other tools we offer Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Holograms; we are currently working with new sectors. Our clients become one more member of the team, they share with us the way they work. We listen to them, and with a critical eye analyze how they can make the most of their projects, their products and their ideas. They share their dreams with us and we make them come true. We love the smile of happiness on their faces when they see the dreams they had for their company become a reality.
