Have you had a chance to catch up on the latest lighting interventions by the current ALD students? .bartels

Here are a few glimpses from that night.

Zen in Shadows
Zen in the Shadow, part of a pilot study at KTH, fosters vibrant after-dark social activities through lighting design. Situated in the courtyard, it balances indoor-outdoor brightness, and the focal glow of lanterns evokes warmth inspired by Japanese lantern. Lights also highlight architectural elements to guide visitors, creating a lively, connected community atmosphere.

Thank you, .nu which support during the installations.
