Projects are submitted in two categories: "Natural Light in Buildings" and "Natural Light Research." And it was in the latter category, first at the regional stage and later at the global stage, that the Polish students' project Theatre of Light won! Listen to Paweł Białas, Julia Giżewska and Dominik Kowalski talk about it.
