Centered on the AI Lighting Workstation (A‑Station), this session adopted an immersive teaching framework combining theoretical lectures, hands‑on practice and project review, with lectures delivered by representatives from China Lighting Intelligence. Based on two core practical scenarios: cultural‑tourism historic buildings and commercial lighting, participants were systematically guided through full‑process exercises including project assessment, idea generation, luminaire selection, multi‑mode lighting effect design and dynamic light‑shadow creation. This equipped participants with actionable AIGC lighting design methodologies for real‑world application.

New‑quality productive forces bring not only improved rendering efficiency but also qualitative advancement in design expression. On the afternoon of the second day, the 153rd Asian Lighting Designer Salon was convened for participants to present and exchange their AI‑generated design outputs. Upon completion of presentations, Wang Jun and Ma Bin awarded completion certificates to all participants.
