Luminous walls: from stained glass windows via modernist wallwashing to pixelated planes

Luminous walls belong to the essential repertoire of qualitative lighting design. With light, spaces can be defined and reinterpreted. Illuminated walls allow us to provide orientation and to perceive the form and dimension of space. This talk, with an overview of international projects, covers lighting methods and techniques for luminous walls and their visual appearance for interior spaces.
