Lighting

There are many forms of lighting in the world, below I have come across some examples of these different types of lighting they are: studio lighting, energy efficient, indoor lighting, home lighting, sustainable lighting, hfm lighting, and light bulbs. I have added images of these different types of lighting that exists in our day to day worlds below.

Diploid Lamp Series

This exhibition structure was designed in 2009. This particular design explores patterns, which were inspired by nature. Some natural inspirations were scales, honeycombs, and barnacles. In order for the structure to exist, parametric modeling, scripting, and digital fabrication were required. The light inside the structure is geometry created, refined, and produced. Individual lamps inside the structure are custom designed, and assembled by hand from paper components that are digitally fabricated. The structure measures at 36’’ x 12’’ x 12’’ and is an ongoing project.

Parallels 

This design installation looks at sound and laser installation. MINI and the united visual artists team create it. This exhibition was presented at the Milan design week, and titled as Parallels. The aim of the exhibition is to symbolize how the world is connected to everyone. As a viewer you walk into a dark room, with large spheres at the back of the room. These spheres produce light around the edge of the circle almost like a solar eclipse effect. The light rays change colour from grey to a brighter blue and green. the designers are trying to show how the world is becoming irrelevant, as technology is becoming more focused in our daily lives.  

I like the simple and effectiveness of this display in combination with the meaning put across. I think they have shown a clear way to express their concerns and intended communication to their audiences. 

Infinity bamboo forest

This design exhibition is created by Prism design. The exhibition was exhibited in Wuxi, China as a room that looks as though it goes for infinity. The designers have used LED lights to create the effect of a never-ending space. The corridors function serves to guide people in a parallel pathway, which has a reflective coating placed onto a glass wall. Due to this design and structure, there is a continuous white glow that is being released from the sides of the walls; the pipes that light up as you walk down the center of the aisle amplify this. The over all aim of the design was to allow people to feel as though they are “walking into an endless void”, which was successfully achieved by Prism Design.

I think this idea is really interesting; walking into a space that never ends would be quite amazing to see. I would imagine that it would feel like you are in space or the universe that just never has and end.   

Room Shaped light exhibitions

Artist, Massimo Uberti, created this design exhibition. He has taken space back to its basic essence and created a minimal and effective approach in these spaces. His work is based on something out of a computer program, and sci-fi movies, such as Tron. The idea of the illuminated outlines is clearly seen through these designs. Uberti reduces each space back to it core in order to concentrate on basic elements such as structure. His style is minimal and meaningful. By allowing people to endure his exhibitions his aim is to get people to forget about unnecessary things and appreciate the little things.

I think this going back to basics idea is always important. Often in many things in life when we struggle, we find ourselves going back to those initial steps, the basics. This is often a very helpful solution. I like the message that comes along through the work of Uberti’s light rooms.
