Introduces the Smart Light movement that is illuminating
and enriching our urban spaces and nighttime surroundings with
spectacular new lighting technology
In recent years, new
lighting technologies have been used to illuminate cities and towns in
creative, energy-efficient ways. Smart Light is now a widely used term
for the new technologies and ecological ideas that are transforming
nighttime atmospheres and spectacular Smart Light festivals are awing
audiences around the world.
Featuring more than 120 public artworks, design installations, and architectural elements,
SuperLux is a visual celebration of the ingenuity and artistry of the latest
lighting technology. The books three sections focus on projects that
use light to animate architecture and media screens; new lighting in
former industrial zones and new public areas, including wayfinding and
street lighting; and interactive installations in urban spaces. Each is
punctuated with essays by leading experts and designers on this
remarkable new phenomenon.
As our public buildings, public
spaces, and even homes become increasingly interactive, intelligent
lighting design will become ever more relevant to our lives.
SuperLux is an exciting introduction for designers, architects, artists, and
anyone intrigued by the power of light. 400+ color illustrations
