Summary
This paper explores the concept of human interference in the natural phenomenon of night, while embracing the potentials of both light and darkness, and provides a design proposal for an open-air theatre/performance arts/music stage, located in the city of Gothenburg.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the role of artificial lighting in the creation of urban forms and its potential in demarcating spaces for activities.
Well-being: The paper suggests that the design proposal aims to contribute to sustaining the image of the night as joyful, relaxed, lightweight, leisure time, thus impacting well-being.
Education and learning: The paper involves research by design and research for design methods, contributing to the field of education and learning in architectural practice.
