Episode 14: Darkness Has Value: Lighting Design That Protects and Connects with Chiara Carucci
What if darkness wasn’t the absence of light—but a form of urban infrastructure? In this episode, we dive deep with Chiara Carucci, a transdisciplinary lighting designer who's reshaping how cities think about nighttime. From moonlit forests in Sweden to bat-friendly corridors in urban parks, Chiara shares her vision for lighting that respects biodiversity, supports human well-being, and treats darkness as a civic asset—not a void. 💡 Topics Covered: – How we use Artificial Light at Night ("ALAN") has significant impacts – The concept of “darkness acupuncture” and rewilding cities – Ecosystem service value: putting a price on lost darkness – How lighting design can heal, connect, and inspire – Why stargazers aren’t the only stakeholders in the darkness movement #LightingDesign #DarknessRestoration #ChiaraCarucci #UrbanEcology #RestoringDarkness #SoftLights #Podcast Connect with Chiara:https://noctua.life/ https://www.instagram.com/chiaracarucci/ or simply @chiaracaruccihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chiaracarucci/
