Ulrika Wänström-Lindh tests Lighting Design Research

How does lighting affect our interpretation of space? Ulrika Wänström-Lindh, doctoral student at HDK – School of Design and Crafts, University of Gothenburg, tests her research during ”Lights in Alingsås” 24/9-31/10.

Ulrika Wänström–Lindh has chosen a complex and real-life public space for her artistic research project: Kyrkoplan, around Christinae kyrka in Alingsås, Sweden. She will evaluate how the scale in luminary heights as well as directions of light and placement in relations to trees and facades, affect the space’s size and shape. Moreover, the created atmosphere is studied in relation to spatiality and security.

Lighting designers do frequently use test lighting as a work tool, but has seldom opportunity to test the effect of a complete lighting design suggestion in a whole urban space and are not so often able to evaluate the project by asking users about their observations. However, in this project the effect of the lighting design is planned to be studied through interviews and inquiries as well as focus groups.

The project installation will be temporal during the five weeks that ‘Lights in Alingsås’ lasts. The research installation will be used also for educational reasons and workshops.
