The type of projects to involve SiSi:
Exterior:
Lighting outside at night with focus on night preservation and restoring darkness. Lighting that takes into account the need for darkness and impact light has on nocturnal species. Light and reflection is used to aid way-finding and support safety. Outside by day the integration of fixtures and the configuration of poles is done so these aid way-finding and add to the look-and-feel during the day. Projects:
Infrastructure roads & bridges: Steekterbrug Alphen a/d Rijn, Bridge competition Amsterdam. @Arup: De Centrale As Friesland, Waterlandsebrug Almere
Public space, Landscapes & gardens: Expo Dubai 2020 landscape, Canisius Nijmegen landscape, various residential homes. @Arup: Stationsplein Oost public square in Utrecht
Façades: Commercial façade Brussels, Bols Amsterdam. @Arup: Holland Casino Utrecht
Light art & place-making: de Knoop, Solid water
Interior:
Museums, Galleries & Exhibitions - Finding the right balance between conservation and experience of the exhibits. Use of daylight and dynamic features. Quality of light and fixtures with bespoke solutions where required. Projects: COP28 Dubai, Schoenenmuseum Waalwijk, Tulip museum Amsterdam, Gallery Xavier Hufkens Brussels. @Arup: Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Museum Voorlinden Wassenaar, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
Commercial & Office - Daylight design and enhancing the experience of space. Personal and dynamic options to support health and productivity of everyone using the space. Sustainable lighting solutions on every level are the goal. Projects: Binnenhof The Hague, Being Amsterdam, Lairessestraat Amsterdam.
Transport Hubs - These are particularly interesting as they are often a temporary or one-off visit and way-finding and unburdening the traveller are essential. Lighting can contribute immensely to making a space intuitive. Working closely with the architect seamless integration in the architecture is also possible. Projects @ Arup Central Station Arnhem and tunnel; 17 metro stations ‘Cityringen’ in Copenhagen; Stationsplein Oost bicycle parking in Utrecht.
Hospitality - Supporting the architect and interior designer is balancing ‘revealing’ light with the ‘visible’ & ‘brilliant’ light so characteristic of hotels, restaurants and casino’s. Projects @Arup: Holland Casino Rotterdam and Utrecht
Residential - Lighting design for homes for day and night. Ranging from finding the right fixtures to fit an existing installation, to working with the architect/interior designer to integrate lighting in the architectural design. Daylight is always the starting point in any design and layers of light are essential.
Light Art - For light festivals and light sculptures. Examples: White Light, Hello Rainbow, Solid Water, Weerspiegel, Understorey.
Events, presentations, teaching, jury - Promoting lighting design in the Netherlands and abroad. Examples: presenter at conference Light Fair Las Vegas, IALD Enlighten Americas Denver, active within NSVV, Lichtontwerp Nederland. Teaching [guest lecturer TU/Delft]. Jury member [Dutch Daylight Award]. Initiating and supporting lighting design competitions [bicycle tunnel Zuid WTC - ‘Samen met het Licht’].
