Abstract
Street lighting extends the life of the city far beyond nightfall, perpetuating the day's activities while also making the metropolis a hub for leisure and entertainment. What if, however, it was necessary to curtail the use of electric lighting to conserve energy and to limit the impact of global warming? John Culmer Bell, founder of FXV, a studio concerned with researching the potential of new technologies and media in design, looks at how significant the lumination of the city is for urban culture.
