The CLUE (Community Lighting for the Urban Environment) competition expects to further position itself inside the larger community of lighting professionals and continue on the route of being an internationally recognized leader in the design community. Therefore, CLUE has set itself the goal of encouraging and challenging young designers such as students (University & Colleges) and emerging Professionals (<5 years in their profession) to develop innovative lighting concepts for interior and exterior spaces, stimulate challenging ideas and recognize individuals creating those ideas.
Edition 02 of CLUE competition presents the theme under the title of LIGHTIUS LOCI - SPIRIT OF LIGHT.
Genius Loci: The spirit of place. In the religion of ancient Rome, a genius loci was the protective spirit of a place. Man, over history, has always endeavored to promote local quality of its environment to build their living environment. The intrinsic characteristics of a place differ from a geographic, sociologic, demographic, urban point of view, giving the place its uniqueness. Whatever the level, the context, the creation must be an appropriate response to the sense of place: the place must be the starting point of the reflection of design.
CLUE 02: The second edition of the CLUE competition invites you to think about the spirit of a place where light does not escape the genius loci design principle. Candidates should choose a place without limitation of scale, location, inside and outside, and provide a response in line with the local reality. Proposals will be evaluated primarily according to relevance of the lighting plan in relation to the selected location and context.
