Project Brief
The development of buildings in the city creates new spaces on the inside often at the expense of public space at the street level. Our intent is to address these areas, that lie in the shadow created by these buildings, by making the space more inviting and interesting for pedestrians, and to encourage new interactions and use of the shade.

Location
We are looking to install this at the school above the front entrance. This is the ideal place to present our project because as not only is this area in shadow for the majority of the day, but it is also a place of familiarity in order to accurately judge it’s overall impact.

We investigated the different sources of light in the area, finding a system of cable-suspended streetlamps, different styles of old fashioned lamps on poles and some modern lighting solutions.
We also looked at places and objects that could be integrated with lighting.
Blade Runner in has a very dark setting in general. There a dramatic contrasts between the dark areas and the bright neon lights, which are merely used for lighting than for advertisement. Spotlights are constantly scanning the areas. In many scenes this is the only source of light coming through the windows from the outside.
Comparing the two movies, the 2057 setting is a much more positive and inspiring image of the future. It has an overall brighter setting and more human centered lighting solutions. For example the holographic dolphin that leads children to their homes.
