Lightscapes :: an interactive lighting design workshop
An ARQUISET project, in collaboration with HANGAR Sponsored by Philips
HANGAR Oct 2-8, 2008
As part of ARQUISET’s second Architecture Week, ARQUINFAD organized a workshop with James Clar & Scott Fitzgerald in developing interactive lighting projects, aimed at architects, light and space designers, programmers and interactive designers. The workshop forms part of the LIGHTSCAPES programme, a series of activities based on new aspects of city lighting, which includes an international symposium and events in various public places.
The aim of the workshop is to examine the possibilities offered by the most recent developments in lighting technology, in tandem with computer programming, to cultivate and give new and innovative expression to the use of light in urban spaces. Using lighting systems to transmit information in real time that can be interpreted by citizens, or developing lighting mechanisms that respond to the users’ activity and behaviour are some of the strategies to be applied.
It is also the intention, by way of this project, to foster mutual collaboration and apprenticeship among architects, lighting designers and urbanists, on the one hand, and programmers and interactive designers, on the other, as well as promoting the role played by the interactive lighting designer in an emerging field of interdisciplinary requirements.
