LightMappingNYC: Walking Tour of the High Line

About the Event

LightMappingNYC is intended to provide the New York City lighting design community with a forum to consider the current, past and future conditions of their urban environment at night. By combining the local / national interest in this topic generated by the IESNYC/DLFNY Lights Camera Walk map with the global scope of PLDA’s Lightmapping initiative, this program will underscore the vital role of lighting design in making of New York City after dark.

The multi-part program will include a tour of a significant new lighting installation, interactive group walks in the city at night, and a group discussion / reception. Attendees will be encouraged to join multiple program parts, but are also welcome to choose what best fits their interest / schedule. All events are free to the public, but require registration. Space is limited and registration will be on a first come first served basis. All events will take place as scheduled, rain or shine.

The 2009 LightmappingNYC program is a component of the PLDA’s global Lightmapping project. Previous PLDA LightMapping events took place in Rome, Italy in May 2008 and London UK in September 2008. LightmappingNYC is the first PLDA LightMapping event to take place in North America.
