The lighting design of the Chiesa Dives in Misericordia also constitutes a milestone in that this is the first time that virtual luminaires from ERCO have been used for light simulation. This made it possible to show, check and analyse concept variants at an earlier planning stage. A visual inspection shows how realistic such simulation processes are even today.
