Public design
How light is being utilised in architecture and public spaces is becoming
ever more colourful and lively. Away from the on the one hand clinical or on
the other hand decorative type of illumination, a new trend is developing in
the direction of utilising light on an experimental basis.
Approaches previously only utilised by stage designers are now being
systematically exploited by lighting planners.
Light is becoming an effective element in architecture for accentuating
buildings and surfaces but which is also used for orientation (…for example, in
guidance systems). Focusing, shading, contouring – all this is possible as long
as it agrees with the concept of the object.
