Night-seeing Map:

Building on Leni Schwendinger’s Spring 2004 course at the Parsons School of Design: Department of Architecture, Interior Design & Lighting, entitled Nighttime Environment From Personal To Municipal.  This course will be an intensive study of the meanings and experience of the nighttime environment, with an emphasis on Manhattan will be undertaken. We will discover precedents in cultural expression of the night through films, fine art, and theatre. The class will produce images and text for a “Night-seeing Map” funded by the IES-NY Chapter with an end-use as a walking map for IES Centennial and tourist activities.  The map will combine imaginary interventions and actual lighting projects in Manhattan.
