I am requesting your support starting with funds to produce a UNESCO Day of Light 2018 event, and subsequently expand the International Nighttime Design Initiative. Nighttime Design is rooted in community-engagement methodologies while collaborating with municipal agencies, influencing policy and providing creativity from dusk to dawn.
The International Nighttime Design Initiative has commenced to grow a network. Nighttime Design is rooted in community-engagement methodologies while collaborating with municipal agencies, influencing policy and providing creativity from dusk to dawn.
A real-time travelogue through the culture of public space lighting and technology, we invite you to support our team and become an advocate for better city nights. https://igg.me/at/Nighttime-NightSeeing-DayofLight/x/18373862

About Nightseeing:
NightSeeing™ aims to raise awareness of light, and shadow, for nighttime environments in cities worldwide, as well as to provide an overview of lighting theory to the general public and design professionals alike.
This program originated with my class, “Designing Urban Nighttime Environments.” Upon leaving the classroom and emerging onto the street, the smallest pixels of light and the faintest shadows were transformed into objects and subjects of study. This “lightwalk” became a treasure hunt, a way of recognizing both existing and designed light.
Innovation and creativity for bringing light to public spaces all over the world energizes architecture, landscape and urban infrastructure with the ultimate goal of connecting people to each other and their surroundings.
I hope you will consider booking a NightSeeing™ Program for your city, conference or public-involvement initiative.
