In the modern word, complexity and uncertainty seem ever-present. How do we maintain relative order and a sense of calm? We rely on the power of interconnectivity. When different systems, processes and people work seamlessly in conjunction with one another, this is when our towns and cities flourish. We encourage contributors to think of prevention – how illumination can help to anticipate and adress problems before they even start – as well as the way in which it might assist during an incident. How can light help the people affected by a crisis ? What role can it play in aiding emergency responders? And how can it help in the aftermath of an incident? The particular situation you want to tackle is entirely up to you. What can you bring to the table?
