“Nocturnal Landscapes”

Description

you would need to rewrite the article and cover all the quotes and case studies I mentioned on the second page   Shute House by  Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe “ I walked the garden in the dark,statuary and forms of leaves and areas of total darkness solicited momentary fear,nervousness made the experience all the more remarkable,memorable and appeal to the subconsciousness.”   1 Nocturnal landscape constructs opportunities for encountering unexpected bustling with life 2 Nocturnal landscape makes people rely on senses( sound,touch and scent) rather than sights,deeper level than what’s visible   The urban is most forcefully evoked by the constellation of lights at night, especially when flying over a city—the dazzling impression of brilliance, neon, street signs, streetlights, incitements of various kinds, the simultaneous accumulation of wealth and signs.But during its realization,this concentration flexes and cracks.It requires another center,a periphery and elsewhere. An other and different place. This movement, produced by the urban.Creation comes to a halt to create again. —Henri Lefebvre     Dubai earth hour 1. How to experience the city without light? 2.Can we ever see the stars again?    The night time has very peculiar design challenges,colors change,perceptions of space/distance change        Case study 1: associated architects partnership kuwait mundane munarahs Low light—small private activities  high light for the big social activities 2. ‘Wow, wow, wow’: Stunning bioluminescence lights up Irish beach.    https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/bioluminescent-plankton-ireland-fountainstown-beach-bbc-a9675666.html      Bioluminanescent plants to illuminate the city Nina Morris— While we do see in the dark, we do not necessarily see that which we wish to see or in the manner we wish to see. During my fieldwork in Bahrain, if I could, I would walk to where I would need to go. One of the great things about walking is that it helps you to construct the opportunities for encountering the unexpected, and for me one of the most unexpected aspects of my life in Bahrain was how much of social life is conducted during the hours of darkness. Bahrain has a nocturnal landscape, and many of my Bahraini friends avoided the day and inhabited the nighttime too. But the nighttime has very particular design challenges, colors change, perceptions of space change. What other opportunities does the nighttime present? Readings 1.
