Peter Maradudin StudioK1 Studio Director

Questioning Dark Sky

Session 14 - Room B
Thursday, October 27
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Dark Sky legislation - Is it an important step forward for environmental responsibility, or a really bad idea? Should astronomers be forming codes and laws that dictate how millions of people encounter the lit night-time environment, or should doctors, environmentalists or even, dare we say it - lighting designers? Prepare to be surprised, provoked, outraged and inspired as StudioK1’s Peter Maradudin takes you on one lighting designer’s personal journey through the questions, answers and attitudes that revolve around this contentious and divisive issue.
