Description: The goal of this book is to develop temporary light spaces that re-interpret the existing urban environment on a seasonal basis or over a cycle of several years. As a result, the city will literally appear in a new light. Strollers in the city streets will experience their familiar environment in a new way. Illuminated planes interlacing with planes made by linear fields of light beams will create immaterial material space experiences: still lifes of light within which one can move about and light choreographies that move barely noticeably, creating still lifes in motion.
Notes: "This publication consists in part of papers presented as Lict.Dialog at the symposium Stadtlicht on 17 March 2016 on the occasion of the Luminale Frankfurt 2016 at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and sponsored by the Department of Architecture, Structural Engineering and Geomatics ; it continues a discussion about light spaces first began in the publication LichtraÌume Light Space, Wolfgang Rang, Stuttgart, 2014."--Page 12.
