This book advocates an approach to lighting design that focuses on
how people experience illumination. Lighting Design in Shared
Public Spaces contextualises light, dark and lighting design within
the settings, sensations, ideas and imaginaries that form our
understandings of ourselves and the world around us. The chapters
in this collection bring a new perspective to lighting design,
arguing for an approach that addresses how lighting is experienced,
understood and valued by people. Across a range of new case studies
from Australia, Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom, the
authors account for lighting design's crucial role in shaping our
dynamic and messy experiential worlds. With many turning to
innovative ethnographic methodologies, they powerfully demonstrate
how feelings of comfort, safety, security, vulnerability, care and
well-being can configure in and through how people experience and
manipulate light and dark. By focusing on how lighting is
improvised, arranged, avoided and composed in relation to the
people and things it acts upon, the book advances understandings of
lighting design by showing how improved experiences of the built
environment can result from more sensitive and context-specific
illumination. The book is intended for social scientists who are
interested in the lit or sensory world, as well as designers,
architects, urban planners and others concerned with how the
experience of light, dark and lighting might be both better
understood and implemented in our shared public spaces.
