What implications does the lunar-resonant lighting project have in terms of sustainability?
KL: The combined effect of converting to LEDs and lunar-resonance saves a huge amount of energy (our research indicates about 85%). And, of course, LEDs last much longer than sodium-vapor bulbs, and are dimmable. But we don’t think sustainability will ever reach its potential if it is only about invisible technical innovations. AW: Beyond the specific energy savings, we would like to see the discussion about sustainability expand to a more experiential definition. This project is very much about changing people’s perceptions and experiences of night, lighting, and natural cycles; making those kinds of connections should be a key part of sustainable design. Civil Twilight’s Mycofarmhouse project Emily: What other types of work do you guys do and what are some of the underlying themes in your projects? KL: We’re interested in brilliant simplicity, across scales and media. In some ways, we see the lunar streetlights as ‘undesign.’ They could alter our perception of cities at night, enhanc
