Leni Schwendinger Light Projects' illumination concepts parallel the landscape and

architectural principles. Lighting creates starry-light webs to mark destinations.

Custom light-poles add a series of graceful markers to delineate pathways.

Illumination concepts included visualization of Russia's geographical typologies

and interpretive measures of heat and cold through varied displays.
