“With all that’s going on, whether economicall

“With all that’s going on, whether economically, politically or health-wise, there is always a solution to having a right for light” - Manal Kahale

Following last year’s devastating explosion in Beirut, lighting designer Manal Kahale has been working with Light Reach on Light for Lebanon (@lightforleb), an initiative designed to bring light back to the communities of the city to aid in its healing and repair.

In issue #120’s Women in Lighting feature, our own Sarah Cullen sat down with Kahale to find out more about this incredible initiative, and how her journey to restoring power to the people of Beirut began.

You can read the full story on p.56 of your mags, or check out the digital issue online (🔗 in bio).

🎬 Inside issue #120 🎬

The Halfway House was an immersive theatre piece, devised and staged in the old Central Saint Martin’s campus in Holborn, London last year. The piece was conceived by Persona Collective, a not-for-profit community interest company that aims to be a vehicle for creative practitioners from design, art, photography, film-making, music and theatre to collaborate on cross-disciplinary, site-specific theatre projects.

The narrative for the Halfway House revolved around three storylines - The Porter, The Maids and The Resident, each unfolding in the titular Halfway House, a fictional hotel. The three storylines ran concurrently, overlapping as audience members followed each story in and around the building, allowing them to feel as if they are part of the performance itself, while exploring the old building.

Satu Streatfield and her lighting team were tasked with created an immersive, all-encompassing lighting scheme for the performance, fusing architectural and theatre lighting techniques with existing public realm lighting from the surrounding neighbourhood.

The cover story for arc #120 saw us take a stroll down the Sandvika riverside promenade in Bærum, Norway, to check out the beautiful, bespoke lighting solution designed by Zenisk.

In a move to bring an “artistic materiality” to the riverside, Zenisk worked with Rebel Light and Hadeland Glass to develop a bespoke, custom-made fixture, dubbed the “Sandvisklykta bollard”. Illuminated via a special DMX LED luminaire from Radiant Architectural Lighting, the bollard operates as both a functional light source, and a light art object.

🏅Inside issue #120🏅

We step inside the newly opened US Olympic & Paralympic Museum.

Situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, the museum has been expertly designed to showcase the illustrious history of the United States’ Olympic and Paralympic athletes in an inclusive and accessible manner. Its dynamic, sprawling form allows visitors to descent the galleries in one continuous path, making it one of the most accessible museums in the world.

Lighting designers at Available Light and Tillotson Design Associates helped to facilitate this inclusive atmosphere further through light. Available Light designed the lighting for the 20,000sqft of exhibition space, while Tillotson Design Associates designed the architectural lighting for the striking façade and inner atrium.

💃 Inside issue 119, our assistant editor Sarah Cullen sat down with Francois Roupinian of Lightemotion to discover the magic behind the lighting for Shanghai’s Christian Dior Designer of Dreams exhibition.

What makes this striking project all the more remarkable is that the complex and dynamic lighting scheme - which was created to interact with and highlight the more than 270 Haute Couture silhouettes in a sculptural aesthetic - was put together after Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic. This means that the designers had to embark on a unique and ground-breaking approach to the task, by establishing an entirely remote team to implement the scheme.

The events of 2020 have had an impact on everyone around the world, but from it we have witnessed an increasingly staggering, positive response from industry creatives. The work carried out by Lightemotion here is no exception.

“I want to become a spokeswoman for the endless opportunities of urban lighting design to create a sense of wellbeing at night.” - Cristina Gil Venegas

Inside issue #119 we spoke to Colombian lighting designer Cristina Gil Venegas about her fascinating new research project, which has been established to examine the ways in which women interact with the urban environment after dark.

The project, entitled The Nighttime Traveller, looks to clarify how public spaces are perceived by women, and what can be done to create more inclusive public spaces at night.

Artist and designer Daan Roosegaarde has unveiled

Artist and designer Daan Roosegaarde has unveiled his latest artwork - GROW - an homage to the beauty and importance of agriculture.

Inspired by photobiology light science technologies that have shown that certain “recipes” of blue, red and ultraviolet light can enhance plant growth and reduce the use of pesticides by up to 50%, GROW consists of a design-based light recipe that shines vertically across 20,000sqm of farmland.

GROW is part of the artist-in-residence programme of the Rabobank, and is the first in a series of dreamscapes by Studio Roosegaarde that show the beauty of combining art and science to create a better world.

Daan Roosegaarde said: “GROW is the dreamscape that shows the beauty of light and sustainability. Not as a utopia but as a protopia, improving step by step.”

🌟🏛 Our glorious cover star for issue #119 🏛🌟

Long considered to be the most iconic monument to Ancient Greek culture, the Acropolis is an architectural marvel overlooking the city of Athens. Housing several buildings of great architectural and historic significance, including the Parthenon, the UNESCO World Heritage site is now bathed in a stunning new lighting scheme, designed by Eleftheria Deko.

The new lighting design looks to distinguish the monuments, walls, and the Sacred Rock through light, with Deko working with Erco on a custom variant of its Lightscan fixture to cast each element in a different colour temperature, ranging from 2700K to 5000K.

🏫 Inside issue 119 🏫

Part of a special Façade Lighting focus in arc 119 we spoke to Charles Stone and Enrique Garcia Carrera of Fisher Marantz Stone (@fmslighting) on the stunning re-lighting of Shanghai’s Bund District.

A protected, historic area of the city, the Bund is characterised by a stretch of 27 landmarked buildings that stand out within the wider fabric of the Huangpu River. All built between 1920 and 1931, the façades of these buildings were previously cast in the warm light of high pressure sodium fixtures.

The re-lit buildings pay homage to the former high pressure sodium lighting. Thanks to fixtures from Color Kinetics and Erco, the Bund waterfront provides a strong contrast to the dynamic colour shows of the Pudong District on the other side of the river.

Throughout this monumental project, Fisher Marantz Stone collaborated with Uno Lai Lighting Design and six other local lighting consultants, to rejuvenate the Bund District, showcase its history and in the process, “enhancing your appreciation of the architecture, and creating a waterfront for the people”.
