City of Light

Here’s more recent recognition for CMCI research: Dr Jo Entwistle’s “Configuring Light” project has been shortlisted for the Professional Lighting Design Recognition Award 2017 in the category, ‘Award for Research’.

The final award will be presented during the biennial Professional Lighting Design Convention (PLDC) in Paris, in November 2017. Dr Entwistle admits that her fingers are tightly crossed, but she and her team already feel honoured as social researchers and academics to be recognised by lighting professionals as contributing to the development of their practice.
The Paris convention takes place immediately after “Configuring Light” hosts its final iGuzzini sponsored Social Lightscapes Workshop on social research in design, focused on the Places des Fêtes in the 19th arrondissement in Paris. They will be presenting workshop results to the PLDC City Forum on the 1st of November at the start of the convention.
