Guerrilla Lighting - Dublin
BDP lighting launched its inaugural Guerrilla Lighting campaign in Manchester in 2006, raising awareness of the benefits of sustainable urban lighting design. Subsequent events in London, Glasgow and Birmingham have seen our designers offer their vision of a striking, but safe night-time urban environment as a sustainable alternative to our light-saturated cityscapes.
Set to coincide with the expansion of the BDP lighting practice into Ireland, the next target is Dublin.
“Our Guerrilla Lighting campaign challenges perceptions of lighting in an urban environment“ urges BDP Lighting designer in Dublin, Chantelle Stewart. “We’re raising awareness of the potential of sustainable, intelligent lighting design by involving people in the lighting of highly recognisable, prominent locations.”
BDP’s previous Guerrilla Lighting events have shown that a few torches and coloured filters can temporarily transform our urban landscapes with minimal environmental cost. As the campaign moves to Dublin, BDP aims to put intelligent lighting design at the forefront of efforts to permanently increase the environmental and economic sustainability of Ireland’s urban environments.
