Teaching the Role of Programmable Lighting in the City
Topics Covered Conceptual Themes physiological and psychological perception of light darkness social interaction after dark history of lighting and display technologies nighttime economy and labor impact of night and light on urban form celebration environmental concerns night as a frontier to be colonized  surveillance and fear the politics of lighting  contradiction of night as a time of anxiety, alienation, and loneliness but also one of beauty, excitement, spectacle, and freedom

2LightBridge & SmootLight
Celebrating the Movements of Pedestrians in Light Low-resolution display integrated with sensors to create a dynamic and interactive public lighting installation ,[object Object]
Animate a key pedestrian thoroughfare connecting the cities of Cambridge and Boston
Respond to the movements of pedestrians only
Work with low-resolution and subtle animations (4 pixels by 1,500 feet or ca. ¾ of the Mass Ave. Bridge)
Provide a live web-feed of the animation patterns
Create ephemeral, short-term installation (May 7),[object Object]
Illustration of the “The Masque of Power” opening ceremony of 1916. The searchlight was borrowed from a Navy ship and crossed beams with another light on the old campus in Boston. The show also featured what may have been the first color-illuminated floor in a performance context.  Jarzombek, Mark. 2004. Designing MIT.
33 Interaction Patterns abstract patterns to visualize ambient urban data, e.g. traffic interactive games using simple, low-resolution animations like lines glowing light to accompany pedestrians as they cross the bridge
34 Interaction Patterns mock-up of interaction on MIT Campus, collaboration with Philips ColorKinetics people at both ends of the bridge (or more locations) can speak into a microphone and see their voice travel the colors from both ends mix where they collide, many visual effects possible
35 System Overview sensors software diffuser network infrastructure LED lights and power supplies
36 LED (light-emitting diodes) Flex Lights 9,400 low-voltage (7.5V) individually addressable pixels Please note that these images are visualizations. For actual brightness levels see LED light specifications. For more details see: www.colorkinetics.com/ls/rgb/flex
Diffuser Workshop  Tested many different  ideas and materials  during January 18, 2011 diffuser workshop  with students and  Philips CK guests
Diffuser System Indirect, diffuse light via acrylic tube system on the exterior of railing Lights become denser towards Cambridge Boston-side 12” spacing		10” spacing			9” spacing		Cambridge 4” spacing Acrylic tubes (1” outer diameter) are zip-tied to the railing with a linear spacer 4 rows of LED lights facing upwards inside acrylic tubes
Diffuser System Testing capabilities of the diffuser and small-scale mock-up using T10 fluorescent tube covers and mylar Add additional video here of the diffuser…

Notas do Editor

  1. Talk about the relationship between urban form and light. My goals are to present some thoughts on the future of urban lighting as it relates the potential for highly programmable and dynamic light sources. This is very informal so please feel free to ask questions, interrupt etc. Also I’m hoping to get some of your feedback on challenges that you’re facing when it comes to dreaming up new products and application ideas.
  2. The course was very successful. Student engagement was strong and they produced high-quality innovative projects. We also had the active participation of representatives from the planning, urban design, and public art departments of the City of Cambridge, as well as a local real estate developer, all of whom were excited by the projects and the possibility of future nighttime interventions.
  3. It was then time for one of the most spectacular public events Boston had ever seen – an outdoor performance of “The Masque of Power” with more than 1,000 students and faculty participating. Steam engines blasted out mists that in turn were illuminated by hidden colored high-powered lights lights – all designed by the same firm that created the much-admired night lighting of the Pan-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. p. 90-91As a final good-bye to the old building, one of the searchlights raised its beam into the air until it crossed in the sky with the searchlight on top of Old Rogers. Then slowly the two lights died out, leaving everything in blackness, except for a single shaft of light rising skyward from the new courtyard. p. 91
  4. T10 = 1.25” diameterT8 is what we’re using in the end…
  5. http://alum.mit.edu/pages/sliceofmit/files/2010/11/koch3-450.jpghttp://web.mit.edu/pbaranay/Public/Blog%202008/54/kochinstitute.jpg
  6. In the 19th century engineers began specifying public lighting in great deal. 5.3: Lamps with and without light-deflecting globes. Shown above are the patterns of light thrown by each lamp. Shown below is the related light intensity measured in foot-candles. On the left the luminance is substantially deflected down on the street, on the right it is not. ….the above diagram shows the patterns of light thrown by each lamp. Light intensity is in foot-candles. Light A deflects more light onto the street. 5.8 (p. 105) Recommended lighting for residential street. Hierarchically ordered. 2,500-10,000 lumens at various heights…1929. Engineering perspective / priority. Quantification Automobile and driver’s needs shaped direction/development.Focused on asking “how much light” should there be?”, rather than “what should the quality of light should there be”?”
  7. The result of this engineering specification was a hierarchical organization of the city which works well…..however…..what happens when you can rearrange, reprogram and respond to the changing nature of urban life? Infrastructures of imageability….Lighting zones by category of street in a hypothetical city. (1930), Ward Harrison, O.F. Maas, Kirk M. Reid, NY: McGraw-Hill, 122. Diagram shows how city streets were characterized by their importance. Busiest and downtown were the brightest…How lighting engineers organized city streets hierarchically, busiest thoroughfares and downtown areas lit at highest intensities. (Jakle 2001, p. 104)
  8. Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, http://www.ies.org/ provides “Illuminance Recommendations” organized by visual tasks (orientation and simple, common, special) and seven categories (A public spaces, B simple orientation for short visits, C working spaces, D and so on…)primary focus is still to achieve the best light levels on the surfaces which are supposed to be illuminated, even if the calculations are more complexMost measurement instruments utilize either photodiodes, charge-coupled devices (CCDs) or photomultiplier tubes (PMTs)determining appropriate levels of lighting mixed vehicular and pedestrian areas defined in terms of horizontal illuminance and uniformitydifferent heights for roadway lighting (8-10 m) and pedestrian areas (5-6 m)uniformity: ratio of the minimum illuminance value divided by the average value, e.g. 0.8 for the working area in an office (ibid., p. 93), otherwise called the light distribution on task planeRobert Bean. (2004) Lighting: Interior and Exterior. Oxford, Burlington, MA: Architectural Press, Part 3: Chapter 24, p. 275-280.Or from the thesis in New York IT:Lighting of roadways, sidewalks, avoiding objects and wayfindingSafety of users security against crime and theftHorizontal illuminance: “density of luminous flux falling onto a horizontal surface, measured in lux (lumens per square meter) or footcandles (lumens per square foot), measured 0.91m or 36 inches above the ground at grade outdoorsVertical illuminance: Same thing only on vertical surfaces
  9. The result of this engineering specification was a hierarchical organization of the city which works well…..however…..what happens when you can rearrange, reprogram and respond to the changing nature of urban life? Infrastructures of imageability….
