Rogier van der Heide: Why light needs darkness
wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
http://www.ted.com Lighting architect Rogier van der Heide offers a beautiful new way to look at the world -- by paying attention to light (and to darkness). Examples from classic buildings illustrate a deeply thought-out vision of the play of light around us. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

What's the name of the spa at 16:00??

As an exhibition designer i rely on lighting on so many levels to enhance the visitor experience. As a human, i rely on my refuge in the rural New Zealand countryside to reconnect to the awe inspiring night sky. I enjoyed this presentation - thank you Rogier and TED
-
Interesting from a light pollution perspective...
-
wow this is very very grate design ...grate
-
@earthfx which one is better?
-
Beautiful thought. Always fun to hear Dutch people doing their best English. And I know, because I'm one of them (;
-
As a lighting designer I love this talk! We do too many jobs where there are 'uniformity' requirements - good lighting works with contrast! How can you make a great looking train station when you're constrained to 0.7unif over a concourse?! BTW - the very latest LEDs are actually much bigger and have external phosphor (it makes them more efficient and last longer due to over-heating less)....

@Tolstoievsky His point is to (pardon the pun) bring to light how important lighting is to our civilization. He is really showing us how much most of us take it for granted.

he doesn't seem to be making any point... just a slideshow of recent architectural developments involving light in innovative ways
-
@RGBpulsar our light escaping into the atmosphere does not affect the actual stars. So what if want see stars the city, they're still out there and if you want to see them so badly, get out of the city.
-
Wow, great thought, action and talk.
-
i can make light without darkness. he fails
-
Giant LED!!! I think the Earth looks beautiful from a nighttime view, even if its dying.
-
I like the "use darkness as a canvas" phrase.

I know he's an architect, not an earth scientist, but I want to correct his statement. The greatest energy 'on' Earth is the heat produced in its interior by radioactive decay. This heat, along with the remnant heat from Earths amalgamation 4.55 billion years ago, tears apart continents, erects mountain belts, generates volcanic eruptions, and even drives the convection that produces our life-saving magnetic field. The sun is the primary (but not sole) source of biological energy.

@Ko252 Actually, yes.

@normskis69 "Without sunlight, there wouldn't have been any carbon based material to form fossil fuels." Actually, sunlight isn't needed to form hydrocarbons. Planets such as Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn have hydrocarbons formed by chemical processes with the carbon based materials and extreme heat and pressure. Synthesis of hydrocarbons is easy enough today, while not profitable, and can be accomplished with zero sunlight.

@normskis69 "Without sunlight, there wouldn't have been any carbon based material to form fossil fuels." All the carbon on Earth comes from long since dead stars. It did not come from our local star (the sun). Planets like Neptune has far more carbon based materials than Earth. I never said that all the organic matter in fossil fuels isn't formed from sunlight. Most of the ENERGY derived from fossil fuels comes from the heat and pressure applied to it, not the organic matter.
Alif, Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that you might bring mankind out of darknesses into the light by permission of their Lord - to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy - (Al Qur'an 14:1)
