Lighting social lives

All social life takes place in some degree of light and darkness. Light structures our social spaces, whether at home or on the street. It plays a part in what we can do and how we may feel in social spaces.

Configuring Light research group generates collaborations between social researchers and lighting professionals to help us understand the role lighting plays in our everyday life. Specialising in urban public spaces, our aim is to build better social knowledge and better research methodologies for lighting design and urban planning.
