The respected online lighting-design portal migrates to www.architonic.com

For over a decade, the Fondazione Targetti's Lighting Academy has been a pioneering beacon in the world of lighting design. Functioning both as an online reference resource for lighting professionals and as a much-needed champion of lighting design in general, helping to raise its profile as an autonomous creative profession, the portal has managed not only to develop a directory of some of the most ambitious and memorable lighting projects around, but also to establish an international community of lighting enthusiasts.

By migrating from the Lighting Academy portal to Architonic, the existing collection of featured work is amplifying its online presence, joining a platform that receives over 1 million visitors a month. Architonic's passion for promoting the best products, materials and projects will ensure that the passion of the academy's featured members, made manifest in their striking work, will be exposed to a far greater number of architecture and design professionals, planners, building owners, contract clients and, of course, the press.
