NightSeeing Comes to Queens, NYC--A Roadmap for Illumination and Community-Building The NightSeeing™ program's mission is to create vital, city district lighting-strategies. Light Projects is consulting with 82nd Street Partnership to develop a plan of action for illumination that simultaneously builds community engagement. http://www.nightseeing.net/Queens_2013.html
The Port of San Diego North Embarcadero Vision Project in San Diego, CA, USA, has broken ground, and lighting mock-ups were installed for viewing on June 27, 2013. Here, Light Projects "Spiral Pole" designed by Leni Schwendinger, fabricated and engineered by Sigmalux. The pairs poles will progress along Broadway on a line to the Bay, its pier and Port Pavilion. The sketches were drawn for the very first presentation to clients (the City of San Diego and the Port of San Diego) and the design was embraced fully. I was delighted and surprised. Photos of the real, physical twisting poles and fine-optic luminaires.
NightSeeing Berlin 2013, hosted by Theatrum Mundi took place on May 23. Around 60-participants joined the educational, illuminated stroll through Hansaviertal "city of tomorrow".

Berlin city observations. Martin Gropius Bau/Museum's Kosmos Farbe: Itten and Klee. Color and craft at its most inspirational and educational (bonus - a pictorial bibliography here).
Berlin city observations. Berlin, the unified city - represented in pedestrian street signals.
Berlin city observations. Light, Color, Transit, Graphic - symbol and line. This is a facet of the city I saw.
Join us for NightSeeing Berlin: 2013 with Theatrum Mundi on May 23. Starting at Akademie Der Kunst, Leni Schwendinger will lead a LightWalk through the lights and shadows of the surrounding neighborhoods, riverside and streets. TOUR DESCRIPTION: As the sun sets, the Berlin 2013 LightWalk attendees will depart the Akademie der Künste, and amble through Hansaviertel, the remarkable, 1950’s, modernist, housing-estate project. This “city of tomorrow” features buildings by architects Alvar Aalto, Walter Gropius and Oscar Niemeyer. After crossing the river Spree via the Hansabridge and its impressive vistas, our intrepid urban hikers will enter the historical section of inner-city Moabit along the northern promenade. A special treat, the unusual variety of street lighting -- from historical gas-lights to newly implemented LED lamps -- will be discussed. Glancing at the remnants of the historically significant, stone Borsigbridge, built in 1905, we will end the tour at the ProMo Bar at Dortmunder Strasse 8.

ARCHTOBER 2012 Getting ready for NightSeeing at Center for Architecture, NYC - tomorrow, October 12 at 6:00. Wander through the Center with me, and colleagues, to experience the space, light and dark... in a new way. Register here.
Queens Plaza and Dutch Kills Green Landscape Architect Margie "Ruddick and her team—including Marpillero Pollak Architects, Judith Heintz of the landscape architecture firm WRT, artist Michael Singer and lighting artist Leni Schwendinger" has transformed a dusty, confusing, loud and cracked-asphalt place into the oasis of bushy greens and hardscape you see here. Lighting includes new geometric light poles, an illuminated bike path and under-bench lighting. The magnificent heavy patterned benches appear to float on golden light at nighttime. Three historic oak trees are highlighted. The twilight hour melds the park, overhead illuminated trains and buildings into a graphic urban setting for leisure and conversation. Here, a link to the Wall Street Journal's "In Queens, An Artistic Alteration"
New York Botanical Garden parking garage: this evening we focused the exterior lights: Contrast, concrete, incandescent coloration, shapely forms. Thank you NYBG, Ennead Architects, EJ Howell and Uptown Electric for this wonderful opportunity!
Metropolis 20th Anniversary (2001) issue, back page "What Design or object will you want for the year 2021?" My answer: With global warming more time will be spent outdoors on activities associated with free space. The negative spaces we call streets and sidewalks will be mapped as places. A mapping device will name street corners, building forecourts, plazas, edges, overpasses, ramps and parking areas. Generous public funding will be available for innovative, compelling lighting, landscaping and upkeep or our common public spaces -- the glue of cities" What is true already? What are we still seeking and advocating for?
