Reinventing the night in the mountains: towards attractive and responsible lighting

Mountain regions are exceptional territories. Yet at night, they are still too often treated as a simple extension of the daytime: more lighting, brighter lighting, longer lighting.

This conference offers a renewed perspective on lighting in mountain environments, demonstrating that it is possible to reconcileatmosphere, uses, attractiveness, and environmental responsibility. Moving away from over-lighting practices, it explores how to create nights that are more qualitative, more sensitive, and more sustainable.

Through concrete project feedback as well as insights drawn from ongoing projects, the speakers will present their cross-disciplinary approach as designers (landscape and lighting), their role in project management, and the methods they use to address seasonality, biodiversity, and the attractiveness of mountain territories.

An invitation to rethink the night as a true design project, serving the mountain environments of tomorrow.
