TI - Contemporary Creation of an Urban Interior by Means of Artificial Illumination, Based on Projects by Arup
AB - 
	Artificial light, which thanks to new technologies gives us more and more possibilities of enriching and transforming the appearance of the space, unlike the natural and fire light can be recognised as a certain type of pollution of the natural environment. Light pollution seems to be an unavoidable effect of the contemporary urbanisation, hence the need of its effective control, in creative, economic, as well as ecological terms.

	Arup is one of companies that try to organise and reconcile the currently undertaken measures with the consequences suffered so far. It has but one goal: synergy of advanced technologies and pro-environmental activity. Due to overillumination in cities, light pollution, and excessive energy consumption at night, Arup started to develop the tactics aimed to turn down the light in the urban space.

	Respect for the existing architecture and adjustment of the applied solutions to the existing microclimate of the environment consti­tute ones of the main drivers of success of projects implemented by Arup.
