“I want to become a spokeswoman for the endless

“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.

📖 Read all about the project, and how you can get involved, on p. 64 in your mags, or check out the digital issue online (🔗 in bio).

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”.

📖 Read all about this project on page 90 of your mags, or check out the full digital issue online (🔗 in bio). 📖

This time last year we were getting ready to open the doors for another incredible [d]arc awards party where over 400 of you joined us to celebrate another fantastic year of lighting projects and products!

We’re sure you’re all as disappointed as we are that the 2020 [d]arc night party has been postponed to Spring 2021 (date to be announced later in the year) due to the restrictions of holding events since the outbreak of Covid-19.

We thought we’d take a little trip down memory lane to and share the installations created by our fantastic manufacturer and design team partners in 2019.

Don’t forget you have up until 17th January to enter the awards this year! If you have been part of a great lighting project or you have some new products you would like to share with the lighting design community head to www.darcawards.com (@darc_awards)
