Urban Revitalisation through Lighting Design

Environmental Lighting Plan for Venice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Historically, Venice was a vibrant city but this
former bustle can today only be found during the day
and, even then, in some parts of the city. An
improved lighting system could encourage activity
after dark, as well as it would improve the feeling
of safety, enhance the aesthetic appearance of the
city, reduce light pollution and save energy. The
difficulties of planning lighting for Venice are
great due to its rich history and unique location,
and also the conflicts that exist between different
groups in society such as locals, tourists,
professional workers, shop and restaurant owners and
conservationists. At the same time the lighting
should fit into context. A spatial analysis of
Venice and its current lighting formed the basis for
the lighting masterplan with guidelines which aims
at creating harmonious and historically appropriate
lighting. The guidelines were applied to one of the
many squares in the city, as it is the traditional
meeting place, and based the detailed lighting
proposal for the site. This book was written as a
Master's thesis with both students and professionals
interested in lighting design in mind.
