Light in the Public Realm

Abstract

At the intersection of art, engineering and architecture "Light in the Public Realm" will explore James Carpenter's focus upon the phenomenological qualities of light as a central organizing principle of the public realm. Using infrastructural, cultural and civic projects, James Carpenter will outline some of his firms' innovative strategies that merge program, performance, structure and light to reveal the unique characteristics of a place and to embody a deeper collective experience of nature.
