Arup has opened an exhibition at its London head office in the foyer space focusing on lighting and the 24-hour nature of the city. 24:00:00 looks at the concept of urban lighting through interactive exhibits, 3D models, film and immersive experiential spaces. It aims to bring together new ideas and innovative technologies to examine how lighting can make a positive impact on urban environments. 'The 24-hour city is an amalgamation of constantly changing conditions,' says senior lighting designer Melissa Mak, who has helped curate the exhibition. 'We see the city in the daytime, and the same city in the night-time, yet we often take for granted how implicit light is to crafting and shaping our experience.'
