WHAT TRIGGERED US?

Guerilla lighting is established by a group of lighting enthusiast who are keen to put a stop to bad lighting design. As stated in their website, "Guerrilla lighting is a war on bad lighting, guerrilla lighting is a protest against wasteful use of light but most of all, guerrilla lighting is about having fun and raising the awareness of the power of light. Professionally designed architectural lighting enhances the nightscape of our cities and towns but requires the use of energy. In order to ensure that a correct balance is achieved between the benefits of good lighting and irresponsible use of energy more control is required. We believe that this control should include the control of architectural lighting of buildings." Guerilla lighting had organized workshops to address to issues that were pertinent to individual sites, whilst highlighting the manner good lighting could change the character of the space. For the workshop that is being targeted for 2009 Archifest, we are hoping to woo this group to advise us on the programs we had established, to facilitate cross-borders exchanges and also to share our equal passion in lighting design.
