The space induced by lighting
募集テーマ：
「Lighting Ecology ―四次元の光―新しい次元を感じさせてくれるもの」
Theme:
"Lighting Ecology --- Light of the 4th dimension ---
Sensing the feeling of a new dimension"
「4次元の光」は難しいテーマだったが、学生ならではの柔らかな発想が新たな次元の作品を多く生み出していた。新素材を使おうという意欲、技術力を駆使しようという意気込みも感じられ、全体的にレベルが向上した印象が強かった。日本人女性が受賞した金賞の「Light in the wall」は、空間の操作性を表現しているという点ではまさに4次元的で、「部屋自体が照明である」という日本の伝統的なインテリア・デザインの考え方を強く感じさせるものだった。13年に及ぶコンペで最高峰という評価もあった。
Although the theme“ the light of four dimensions” was seemingly tough to express in design, with having a flexible idea advantageous to a student, many works with new dimensions were created. The impression of the level was improved as a whole was strong because of the volition of using a new material and motivation to utilize technological capability were clearly felt. The gold award titled“ Light in the wall” that a female Japanese applicant won was exactly four dimensional work in high operability in space, and strongly expressed Japan’s traditional approach of interior design. The work was even evaluated as the best one during 13 years of the competition history.
