ASD Students’ work exhibited as part of the Nightscape 2050 Exhibition
In celebration of the International Year of Light in 2015 and the practice’s 25th anniversary, Lighting Planners Associates (LPA) is putting up an ambitious show Nightscape 2050, with the exhibition travelling from Berlin to Singapore and then to Hong Kong and Tokyo, from August 2015 to June 2016.
Nightscape 2050 is intended to be one of its kind for Light and Lighting, in which visions of the future of lighting and the way LPA imagines to use this light are shared with the visitors.
ASD students’ work are exhibited as part of the Nightscape 2050 exhibition at the National Design Centre from 24 Oct to 21 Nov 2015. The students imagined a future nightscape of Singapore in 2050 that addresses issues of light pollution, and created a design where you can see the stars from the city’s rooftops. They are mentored by ASD faculty Sawako Kaijima and J.Alstan Jakubiec. The student team are from the Junior, Sophomore and Freshmore cohorts – Chloe Tan, Cheryl Ng, Tan Yen Lin, Zhang Ke Er, Tan Wei Lin, Kendrick Tay and Anirudh Rathi.
