Story telling idea
The design is inspired by traditional fireplaces, as the sparkling focal point and centrepiece in historic homes, serving as a warm and inviting gathering spot. Similarly, the pantry is envisioned as the heart of the workspace, where employees can relax, chat, and eat. The surrounding areas support focus and productivity, particularly through lighting.
Sustainable in this lighting design is crucial, enhancing well-being with pleasant lighting that varies by area, task, and time. Work zones use cooler light to encourage focus and mimic daylight, while the pantry uses warmer light for relaxation. The goal is to create a natural shift between work and relaxation within the office.
Axonometric drawing Natural and artificial lighting
Our lighting concept for this office has taken an analogy’s the natural dynamic from cold to warm temperature as you move closer towards a heat source such as the sun. In traditional Swedish households, the fireplace in the kitchen was the only source of heat and provided a place for warmth, comfort, relaxation and conversation. We wanted to mimic this as we facilitate the pantry to be that heart of the office space. As you move further away and closer to the offices- the colour temperature increases as well as the sense of focus and concentration. We hope this solution can give the employees a natural dynamic work environment where the lighting is adapted to the needs and intentions of respective spaces.

URBAN NIGHTSCAPE
Academic project, KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
In Charge of : Site Analysis, Design Concept, Sketch, Instalation making
urban nightscape installation seeks to transform a common space into a compelling narrative about climate change. This project aims to balance sustainable practices with the need for perceived safety, security, energy efficiency, inclusion, and minimal environmental impact. The installation serves a diverse user base, who use the space as a pathway to work or school, a place to hang out, or a spot to smoke.
Our installation transitions the focus from individual-centric (“Ego”) to ecocentric (“Eco”) perspectives. It aims to create awareness about light pollution’s impact on climate change by reflecting on the past, engaging with the present, and imagining the future. The installation illustrates the problematic nature of a human-centered worldview and encourages viewers to reconsider their role in the environment.
ANALYSIS
The light in place is very bright and glary. It is placed where needed but there´s a lot of spilled light.

User circulation
As the site is a lively residential area with a research center focused on climate activism, the whole attention in the project is given to people, the human.
From the upper floor, the Climate Action Center highlights the people on the stage, creating a strong connection between the users of the yard and the researchers in the building.
Lighting design focuses on the central part of the yard, which is overlooked by most of the apartments > the design includes both residents and pass-byers with open areas that provides spaces for social interactions
Most of the curtains are closed as the facades face each other closely > the lighting can connect the indoor spaces to the yard with more captivating views.
The apartment windows are strongly present at the site as the buildings are not highlighted with any lighting.
The intensity of lighting dims around the long facades as the path nears the top to avoid glare and disturbing brightness for residents

The Center Sculpture Fountain in Mariatorget Square can be considered as an iconic landmark of the area. People might choose this place to be their meeting point, the fountain can also creating urban impression of the Mariatorget.
The lighting condition of this area is questionable. Even after the ongoing renovation, there are still several issues waiting to be solved.
Citylight Scope is an urban lighting project located in Mariatorget, Stockholm, designed to transform the park’s atmosphere with adaptive lighting modes. The project features three main modes: Daily, Festive, and Midnight. Daily Mode blends functionality and aesthetics, offering consistent warmth from dusk to midnight. Festive Mode adds a magical, celebratory ambiance, while Midnight Mode ensures safety and tranquility.
The design emphasizes pathfinding with clear visibility through a mix of streetlight poles and bollard lights, balancing functionality and elegance. Additionally, the Gradient Concept creates a unified, inviting nocturnal environment by utilizing existing streetlights to increase brightness towards the park’s center, enhancing safety and orientation
The Pathway has 4 lanes with an intersection in the middle, connecting all 4 sides of the park to facilitate visitor access. There are streetlight poles with inefficient lighting, causing excessive glare, creating poorquality cast shadows, making the atmosphere appear gloomy, and contributing to light pollution

The “Lighting Machine” project aims to evoke the sensation of entering a mystical cave, reminiscent of spiritual and contemplative experiences. As you transition from the brightly lit outdoors into the immersive environment, you’re momentarily blinded by the darkness. However, as your eyes adjust, you realize the cave isn’t truly dark.
The experience symbolizes a journey from light into shadow, capturing the awe of nature and the spiritual essence of places like churches.
The project emphasizes the beauty and contemplation that can be found when we reduce artificial light and become more attuned to the natural environment around us.
This Instalation is designed to transport you away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and into a realm where you confront ‘something’ beyond our earthly existence. Picture yourself transitioning from the bright daylight and hectic activities to a dimly lit room adorned with captivating objects that seem to move like flickering flames, drawing your attention. Suddenly, the room plunges into total darkness, leaving you immersed in profound obscurity where nothing is visible. After a few moments, an enchanting secret is unveiled – a starry constellation that invites you to lose yourself in its celestial wonder

6. Illuminating the Night
URBAN LIGHTING
Observing cities as they transition from day to evening offers a unique and enchanting experience. Our eyes naturally adjust from the bright daylight to the softer, more ambient night lights. This transformation reveals a different charm of the city, making it appear welcoming and beautiful even after dark. Experiencing urban landscapes at night is a true pleasure in this course. However, nowdays, there’s often too much light around us. We get used to the light – The more light we use, the more we seem to need [1]. Leading to what The Stone Lecture [2] “The unintended consequences of poorly designed and injudiciously used artificial lighting are known as light pollution”.
I applied this issue In my outdoor lighting workshop, we examined this current trend where humans feel the need to increase lighting, creating brighter environments. Contrasting with the past, less light with functional purpose was sufficient. We hope that in the future, people will realize lighting is overly centered on human needs and readjust it to also consider the environment. As Kyba, Hänel, and Hölker suggest that, the challenge is to provide outdoor lighting as needed, but in a way that cuts costs, improves visibility, and minimizes negative impacts on plants, animals, and humans due to excessive artificial night lighting[2].
For illustrate, look at fig(1). It from my visit to Vienna to gather inspiration for writingTHIS article. I was particularly struck by the street view from Mozart’s House. What amazed me was the way they lit up the street, flanked on both sides by buildings. Instead of using standard street lights, they employed lanterns light attached near the building doors. Interestingly, these lights served not only as functional lighting but also added an atmospheric feel. Furthermore, the ambiance after the rain, where the wet streets looked incredibly picturesque, reminded me of the painting ‘Leipziger Strasse’ by Leo Lesser Ury, as seen in Fig(2).
From this image, it’s evident that “Darkness can be good” and it presents us with an opportunity to re-examine darkness at night, questioning why and how we should protect or reintroduce darkness into our urban nightscapes [2]. This lighting design approach is not just about preserving a city’s ambiance but also about protecting our night skies. Light pollution is a significant issue, obscuring our view of the stars and disrupting ecosystems. By adopting ‘Design for Darkness’, we commit to ensuring that future generations can experience the wonder of celestial sights.
In conclusion, the balanced use of artificial lighting in urban spaces is crucial. It’s about striking the right harmony between functionality and aesthetic appeal while being mindful of our environmental responsibilities. Reducing light pollution is key to preserving our view of the night sky, ensuring that the stars remain visible for generations to come. This approach advocates for a thoughtful and sustainable interaction with our surroundings, where darkness is not an absence but a canvas for nature’s own beauty and mystery.

7. Exploring Light with Mirror
PROJECTION LIGHTING
to explore how mirrors, light, and reflectors work together and change how we see things. We’ll look at how light moves and how mirrors are used in art and on stages. Light is super important because we need it to see everything. Mirrors are really cool in art. They’re not just for looking at yourself, but artists use them in their art too. Mirrors and shiny things can change the way stuff looks, make rooms look bigger, and give people different ways to see things. Artists are using mirrors a lot in their work these days.
From mirror we get reflection. Reflections are everywhere. We need the light that bounces off things to see them. By playing with light and mirrors, artists and people who make cool tech stuff can make us see things in new ways. They can make spaces feel different and create art that mixes real stuff with make-believe. Thomas D. Rossing said in light and science ‘reflection occur all around us, we rely on reflected light to see must object in our environment and the law of reflection tell us that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection”[1].
One example is the Nobel Week Light Installation “The Artwork System in Randomness.” (fig. 1) This large artwork uses upcycled projectors, mirrors, and kinetic machines to project art[2] (fig.2). This technique, dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, includes one-way mirrors used for secret watching in stores and police line-ups. The person being watched sees a mirror, while the watcher sees through it[1] (fig.3).
Nicolas Schoffer is another artist who uses this idea. In Budapest’s light museum, his work, based on cybernetics, interacts with its surroundings (fig.4). He called his style “spatiodynamic,” creating a sense of movement that affects all senses. The artwork changes, giving countless versions that mesmerize viewers [3].
Recalling the teachings of Ute in “Light and Human,”[4] we understand that reflection occurs when light bounces off a smooth, shiny surface like glass, water, or polished metal, reflecting at the same angle it hits the surface. This principle is fundamental in the creation of art and technological applications involving mirrors and light.
Through these examples, we see how mirrors and reflectors are not just tools for reflection but instruments of artistic and technological innovation. They allow us to manipulate light in extraordinary ways, creating immersive experiences that challenge our perception and understanding of the visual world.
