Àfrica Sabé

Àfrica Sabé Dausà is an architect and lighting designer whose work explores the relationship between light, architecture, perception and human wellbeing. Through her own practice, À. Studio, she combines lighting design, strategic consultancy, applied research and education, translating knowledge from different disciplines into practical criteria for the design of spaces. She is Business Developer at CICAT, the Lighting Cluster of Catalonia, where she helps lead LightingPlat, a technology platform for light and health that connects companies, designers, researchers and institutions. She also teaches in architecture and lighting programmes, with a particular focus on neuroarchitecture and human-centred design. Her work is driven by the belief that light (both natural and artificial) should be understood as an essential part of how spaces are experienced, not simply as a technical layer added to them.
