Abstract
Abstract: The opportunities are in place of implementing media into architecture, and therefore lighting designers needs to understand and use the design qualities of light, but also add to that an understanding on data collected from the environment and the possibilities of combining both, and to incorporate information as a new layer on top of aesthetic and functional qualities into the lighting design. So in this paper I will investigate the opportunities that lies within this topic, and hopefully use it to be a better designer that designs with function on top of aesthetics. In this master thesis I want to explore the possibilities to add another layer to the architecture of the Smedstad Recycling station by the use of a light controlled by data, which in turn should reflect on its environmental function to the public and contribute to environmental awareness.
