Design of Products and Systems for the Circular Economy

 

An exploration in sustainability and innovation for light design in urban and natural spaces.

Light is an invitation to life for all living beings. Its allowance for nourishment, guidance, and connection is paramount to how the planet behaves. But its absence is also fundamental for the circadian rhythms of life. The deficiency of darkness in the urban landscape is constraining the natural cadence of life. This public light exploration seeks to conceptualize what innovation and sustainability signifies for lighting in urban and natural spaces.

 

This exploration of public light in natural and urban environments brought about four concepts of sustainable light of the future. Below are each of the concepts, developed in partnership with Mario Cucinella Architects and Artemide.
