Blog Blurb


a matter of urban light is a design blog with the aim of exhibiting truly inspirational projects in landscape architecture and lighting within the urban environment. This blog will be created in tangent with my third year study of landscape architecture at Kingston University in London with the aim of hopefully moving into a career based on lighting in landscape architecture and the built environment.


i Hope the Blog is useful and interesting.

Exhale Pavilion Phu Hoang Office and Rachely Rotem Studio







The Exhale Pavilion is a fully interactive lighting instillation. It was designed in collaboration with phu hoang office and rachely rotem studios. The pavilion was designed as part of the art basel design Miami 2010 competition. The competition was aimed at creating ephemeral architecture along Miami beach front. The pavilion was designed as a stage for music and performance arts. The pavilion is 2322.576 m2 in size and is built up of seven miles of reflective, phosphorescent rope. The phosphorescent rope is charged by the wind from the sea, as the wind blows through the structure the structure moves and sways with the ropes lighting in the wind. Smaller sensors are placed at a lower level to allow someone to blow on the sensors briefly lighting up a small area.
