Briefings

A Lisbon City Council commissioned a new lighting design project for its public monuments in the 2020s, following a 1970s precedent where public lighting was managed via catalog. The proposal was presented to the Council, with the author expressing the opinion that Lisbon deserves a well-lit council rather than just one illuminated. The evidence suggests a shift from catalog-based selection to a more curated design process for the city's most visible structures.
