Items related to Wolfgang Rang. Light Space
The goal of this book is to develop temporary light spaces that re-interpret the existing urban environment on a seasonal basis or over a cycle of several years. As a result, the city will literally appear in a new light. Strollers in the city streets will experience their familiar environment in a new way. Illuminated planes interlacing with planes made by linear fields of light beams will create immaterial material space experiences: still lifes of light within which one can move about and light choreographies that move barely noticeably, creating still lifes in motion.
The discourse in this book starts with essays introducing aspects of light spaces and concludes with documents on light spaces by Wolfgang Rang collected over a period of 30 years showing how these light spaces were regarded in the writings of contemporaries.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Der einsetzende Paradigmenwechsel in der Nutzung von Ener-gie, ihrer effizienten Nutzung und dem Verbrauch von Ressourcen führt zur Entwicklung neuer Leuchtmittel und Licht-systeme. Ein weiterer Entwicklungsschritt in dieser Richtung wäre es, das Licht als eigenständiges 'Baumaterial' zu be-trachten. Kreative Lichtrauminszenierungen, bisher aufgrund von hohen Energiekosten und hohen Kosten für Lichtsysteme nicht zu realisieren, könnten dann umgesetzt werden. Das reich illustrierte Buch zeigt, wie sich temporäre Licht- räume entwickeln, die prägnante städtische Raumbildungen in einer jahreszeitlichen Abfolge oder auch in einem Zyklus von mehreren Jahren verändern. Die Stadt erscheint in neuem Licht und wird für den Bürger und Flaneur auf neue Weise wahrnehmbar. In der Verschränkung von Flächen, auf die Licht trifft und Lichtflächen, die sich durch die Bündelung von Strahlen formen, entstehen immateriell materielle Raumschöp-fungen: Licht-Stillleben, durch die man sich bewegen kann, und Licht-Choreographien, die sich kaum merklich bewegen, bilden bewegte Stillleben.Ähnlich wie architektonisches Entwerfen haptisch erfahrbare Massen gestaltet, die Zwischenräume schaffen, werden Räume mit Licht entworfen, die diese Zwischenräume sichtbar und unerwartete Raumkonstellationen erfahrbar machen.Lichträume folgen einem urbanistischen Diskurs, der sich in einem vielschichtigen Milieu des Sich-Artikulierens, Zuhörens, Zeigens, Intervenierens, Protestierens konstituiert, und darin etwas spezifisch Städtisches zu erkennen gibt. Gesten des Zeigens und Fragens in einem transrationalen Diskurs urbaner Sachverhalte und Themen.Dabei wird Licht als Baumaterial nicht nur im urbanen Maß-stab erschlossen, sondern auch in seiner Eigenschaft als Gestalter des alltäglichen Lebens.Einführend zu diesem Diskurs gibt es Beiträge, die inhaltliche Aspekte der Lichträume thematisieren, u.a. von Christian Bartenbach, Innsbruck, zur Wahrnehmung von Licht als Raumschöpfer; Niels Gutschow, Heidelberg/ Bhaktapur, zu Licht als ritueller und schöpfungsgeschichtlicher Dimension; Samuel Widmer, Lüsslingen/ Solothurn, zu Licht in Nahtoder-fahrungen; Aldous Huxley, London, zu Licht als Bote einer Welt, die wir auf unbewusster Ebene wahrnehmen; Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, Tokio, über die Welt des Schatten und Tadashi Endo, Tokio/ Göttingen, zu Bewegung als Verhältnis von Zeit und Raum im japanischen Butoh-Tanz,dem Tanz der Finsternis.Zum Ende des Diskurses stehen Projektbesprechungen zu Lichträumen von Wolfgang Rang, die über den Zeitraum von 30 Jahren, aus der jeweiligen Zeit heraus Aufschluss geben über deren zeitgenössische Rezeption: u.a. von Max Bächer, Stuttgart/ Darmstadt, zum Aufbruch in eine neue Zeit;Hans-Peter Schwarz, Zürich/ Berlin, zur Dekonstruktion des Raumes durch Licht; Jürgen Hasse, Frankfurt, zu Licht als Diskursfragment des öffentlichen Raumes; Manuel Cuadra, Kassel, zum Roten Leuchten; und Antonio de Campos, London/ Salvador de Bahia, zu Schatten als Ausdruckvon Licht.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The ongoing paradigm change in regard to the use of energy, its efficient usage and the consumption of resources is giving rise to new light systems and lighting appliances. This development might also lead to the use of light as a building material in its own right, comparable to traditional building materials, making it possible to create light space productions something that did not seem feasible up to now due to the high cost of energy and of light systems. The goal of this book is to develop temporary light spaces that re-interpret the existing urban environment on a seasonal basis or over a cycle of several years. As a result, the city will literally appear in a new light. Strollers in the city streets will experience their familiar environment in a new way. Illuminated planes interlacing with planes made by linear fields of light beams will create immaterial material space experiences: still lifes of light within which one can move about and light choreographies that move barely noticeably, creating still lifes in motion. Current research aims at exploring, imagining and inventing stand-alone spatial structures of light, adding on to and transforming existing spaces, creating a new spatial awareness that may enable people to experience urban space in a different way. Similar to the process of architectural design, where haptic built volumes create interspaces, the light spaces that are presently being designed make these interspaces visible and allow urban dwellers to experience unexpected spatial constellations. The discourse in this book starts with essays introducing aspects of light spaces, including the following: Christian Bartenbach on the perception of light as something that creates space; Niels Gutschow on the ritual dimension of light, an element in the history of creation; Samuel Widmer on light in near-death experiences; Aldous Huxley on light as the messenger from a world we perceive on an unconscious level; Jun'ichiro Tanizaki on the world of the shadow and Tadashi Endo on movement as a relation between time and space in Butoh, the Japanese dance of darkness. The discourse concludes with documents on light spaces by Wolfgang Rang collected over a period of 30 years showing how these light spaces were regarded in the writings of con-temporaries, including Max Baecher on the dawn of a new era; Hans-Peter Schwarz on the deconstruction of space by light; Juergen Hasse on light as a discourse fragment of public space; Manuel Cuadra on red luminescence; and Antonio de Campos on shadow as an expression of light.
