description
We want to talk and discuss about our nightly urban environment, about the way we create and perceive the nocturnal image of our cities, about the lighting of our streets. The availability of new technologies for lighting does not seem to be altering significantly the methodology applied for this purpose, our concepts about, for example, “quality” of lighting, ergonomy, eficiency, safety… All of these terms should be strongly revised, in our opinion, and the need to renew the obsolete intalations due to energy eficiency requirements is a good opportunity to do so. We choose experimentation as a tool to develop our proposals, focused in the lighting design of public places, of spaces where there is a chance for social interchange, between people and between people and their environment, their lightscape. We want to arrange conditions for things to happen, for changes to come in this perception/communication of/with space. We believe in education as a form of producing and distributing culture for a social change, a form of activism and community building. During one of our workshops, many topics appear that we like to apply in practice: DIY, autonomy, the nightscape of our urban environment as part of a visual indentity and heritage, the special care that historic sites, public places and old city centres require in terms of a lighting project… and there is always a concept that flows through everything we do and debate: enablement of citizenship, as a way to favour the commitment of the community in the evolution and planning of their landscape, their habitat. And to develop a personal criteria towards the policies of urban planning, in general.

Final Set Up and Results
Case Study #3 – Melpilight • Piazza San Giorgio, Melpignano (Italy). • It’s the historical center of the town: there is a church and colonnades that used to house a market. • Nevertheless it has lost its central characer as a meeting point, whether religious, social or commercial.
Context and objectives • 1. Need to give value to the square (architecture and use). • 2. Idea to make it trough the light, • 3. Idea to make the lighting design through a participative process.
Resources and process • How to get citizens involved? How to take account of culture, society, identity factors? • How to regenerate a space through a good illumination? • 12 months long process. In different steps. • From observation to discussion to design, from general to specific aspects.
Resources and process • The discussion and the design was open to people and in the physical place of the intervention.
Resources and process • How to talk about light? • First, virtual visualization. • All the process was participative. Let’s do it together!
Resources and process • From virtual to real. A real scale mock-up for an immersive experience. • Participatory workshop and symposium.
Results and conclusions • Interactive mock-up..
Results and conclusions • Interactive mock-up..
Resources and process • The partial conclusion of every step were the starting point for the following.
Results and conclusions • We had good participation and good feedbacks. • More changes are to come: final project and new urban elements. • People understood the power of light. • We created a network.
Thank You
