Welcome to the latest issue of designing lighting global (dlg). On the cover is Modern Guru, an immersive new media installation in Taipei at the intersection of art and technology, lit to dramatic effect by Eness.
Also in this issue, we visit the world’s largest indoor theme park, the Chimelong Spaceship in Zhuhai, China. This immersive marine-themed park is a testament to how narrative-driven lighting design can elevate architecture from impressive to otherworldly.
We take you inside Carrasco Airport, Uruguay’s architectural jewel, which underwent a seamless lighting upgrade that balances iconic design with cutting-edge sustainability — proving that even a national symbol can evolve without dimming its spirit.
Editor Ray Molony catches up with Sanjit Bahra of DesignPlusLight, whose acclaimed luminaires are filling key gaps in the market. And he examines lighting’s crucial role in shaping social spaces and influencing human behaviour, making it an essential tool in promoting social purpose.
