Urban Lighting

The preface of my oldest book on lighting describes the arrival of electric light and the fascination with brightness and visibility in Paris in 1882. This development has since become a significant part of urban life, transforming the night into a time when the city is livable and large areas become visually accessible and coherent, if not exuberant and individualistic. This field combines elements such as streets, pedestrian pathways, infrastructure, and building façades to create an organized framework. Within this framework, elements such as paths, edges, nodes, districts, and landmarks—identified by Kevin Lynch as the five classical elements—work together to establish a lighting infrastructure.
