Burlington 2019 - A New Language Of Lighting | Leni Schwendinger

Signify Design and Lighting Academy hosted the 2nd edition of the Burlington Sessions, a CoCreate aimed at bringing together lighting artists & designers that inspire us, push the limits and create a new language of lighting. This is a small group, by invitation only, of international recognized disruptors leading the way into the future of lighting. These sessions are very hands-on, Signify shared some of the solutions we are developing in a very early stage, our guests were able to experiment and explore, and share their ideas on what/ how would these concepts work for them and their customers. Leni Schwendinger is an award-winning authority on city lighting & creator of illuminated environments. This work is shared through her public speaking & envisioning engagements, including NightSeeing™. She directs International Nighttime Design Initiative, establishing an interdisciplinary profession. Leni is a Visiting Research Fellow at the London School of Economics and a Design Trust for Public Space Fellow (NYC) Contact us: Find more about Signify Lighting Academy: https://www.signify.com/global/lighting-academy Follow us on Social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/SignifyUni LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/signify-lighting-university/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SignifyLightingAcademy/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PhilipsLighting/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=19 #Signify #LightingAcademy #BurS2 #BurlingtonSessions #Lighting #SignifyDesign #LightingDesign #LightingArtists #PioneersofLight
Leni Schwendinger on Nighttime Design for the 24-Hour City

Leni Schwendinger on Nighttime Design for the 24-Hour City

"Nighttime is an existing condition, and that condition engenders different behaviors, different situations, different perceptions at night" Leni Schwendinger discusses the role of lighting design to create a 24-hour city. Schwendinger aims to utilize lighting design to allow the nighttime to be a place of activity in the urban, where people in public feel safe and included. Leni's signature NightSeeing™ program is an eye-opening concept to understand the way lighting impacts our after-hours urban experience. By designing lighting to fit the needs of different neighborhoods rather than trying to curate a specific type of experience on top of an existing neighborhood, Schwendinger sees potential in the development of nightlife in urban areas that do not conflict with local communities. Leni Schwendinger is the founder of NightSeeing™, the International Nighttime Design Initiative, and has formerly worked at Arup, taught at Portland State University, and has been a fellow at the Design Trust for Public Space. Schwendinger’s past projects have included installations at Kingston Bridge, Glasgow, the Port Authority Bus Terminal, New York, and the Seattle Center’s McCaw Hall. She brought her first NightSeeing™ walk to Prague during reSITE's In/visible City conference. -- reSITE is an international platform connecting people and ideas to improve the urban environment. We work at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, politics, culture, and economics. We feature thought leaders whose work pushes the boundaries on how we build, design, regenerate and create life in cities, and frame them through many lenses, convening them in one place. We act as a catalyst for social action and innovative leadership. We encourage an exchange of ideas about making cities more livable, competitive, and resilient. We protect and promote public space, architecture, and sustainable development in cities. All to make our cities more livable, competitive, resilient, inclusive, mobile, and designed with humans in mind.

LUCI recently commissioned Leni to compile a report about the state of the field of urban lighting in the U.S. The report submitted by Leni is excellent. It showcases her curiosity and her expertise on the topic. It uncovers interesting differences in nighttime lighting values and governance between European cities and those in America. We are looking forward to continuing our collaborations with Leni on this research."
