Eden Walk Lighting

As a way of trying to get an idea of how other public spaces are being lit, and run in order to accomodate pedestrains and create sceneries of beauty, this focus week, i looked at our very own Eden Walk Mall in Kingston. One might not notice its strategic day-to-day run of things. For example, the way they have an open centre in the middle, no roofing overhead... its like letting people experience a mixture of both enclosed mall and open markets all in one place. The delivery is done at night to avoid traffic and congestion with buses serving kingston and surrey in general.

The delivery time shifts could be used effectively even in the Photographers Gallery which is proposed to be in Ramillies Street. The way vegetation is lit here, to emphasise the facades and to create a christmas feeling could be applied onto Rammilies place and ramillies street to create not necessarily a christmas spirit, but a certain mood, depending on what exhibition is being shown in the gallery. Not only will it bring people towards the gallery, it will also celebrate photography, especially if the lighting will be corresponding with the exhibitions being displayed inside the gallery at the time. London and UK in general, has got a dull weather most of the time of the year, i.e. when it is winter, one does not get to see sunshine most of the days, so lighting could be a very productive investment indeed. But in other hot countries, like Botswana, even in winter, it is bright and sunny during the day, but gets cold and dim only in the morning and evening
