I start by asking myself if light is necessary. Designed light should be utilised judiciously in order to add social and environmental value, broadening the spectrum of sustainability beyond the visual language.

My biggest challenge is a self-inflicted and conflicting one: embracing a future with less light. Lighting is such a visually expressive language, and there are a lot of set expectations from light in terms of how it should perform and conform. But it’s unrealistic to expect light to be a magic bullet to fix every problem in life. Sometimes lighting design gets too carried away by meeting expectations that it over-delivers and stops challenging convictions.

Snowdonia National Park Authority, in collaboration with Prosiect Nos, commissioned Dark Source to develop a lighting design that could restore the dark skies and tackle the growing concerns for the region, known as a Dark Sky Reserve since 2015. Warm-coloured, glare-free, low-intensity lighting was utilised to meet dark sky-friendly requirements, along with high energy efficiency and lamp-life criteria to maximise the savings.

I try my best to communicate an alternative vision which challenges me and the status quo. I try to put myself out of my comfort zone on every project. I try using an accessible language and credible argument which communicates why these issues should matter. I cannot say that I have mastered any of these yet, but I haven’t given up trying.

I am lucky enough to be working on my dream project as we speak. It is a dark sky masterplan project in Newport, Ireland which takes a holistic view of how the lighting of a town should perform in order to become a dark sky community. I feel very lucky to be working with such a progressive community on this genre-defining project. We have just completed phase 1, which involved the re-lighting of St Patrick’s Church and its surroundings. You can see more here.

After all these years as an experienced lighting designer, my lightbulb moment came to me on the last day when we were taking portfolio photos of the finished project. When we stepped outside, we realised that the power had gone out in the town, but the children at the library hadn’t noticed and were able to continue studying thanks to the solar lighting. This was my first-hand experience of how quickly design could improve someone’s quality of life. It changed my attitude towards the accessibility of design whilst making social and environmental values rank very high in my agenda, eventually leading to my particular approach in dark skies and community-led projects.

My advice to younger designers is to look at the big picture and understand what they are expecting from this realm. Apply yourself and be willing to step outside your comfort zone. Be inquisitive and question things, especially your values. Try to take meaningful actions towards your goals in life.

Dark Skies is also about dark landscapes. It is about being respectful of the natural night, which is in scarcity due to the excessive and wasteful use of light. This requires a shift in our perspective in order to prove that it’s possible for us to create a better nighttime environment for all earthlings, not only for us humans.

A warning sign is a type of traffic sign that indicates potentially hazardous conditions on or adjacent to the road which may not be readily apparent to a driver. Warning signs advise of conditions which may require caution and may call for a reduction in speed in the interest of the safety of road users. These warnings may include road condition changes, inhabited animals or a change in upcoming landscape/terrain.

Kerem is an award-winning designer who founded Dark Source in 2019. Prior to this, Kerem was a guest lecturer at Fakultät Gestaltung der Hochschule Wismar and a lighting designer at Speirs Major.

Even though I studied architectural lighting, I now have a different appreciation of what architecture is: more horizontal than vertical. With exterior spaces, it’s indeed important to create engaging and inviting spaces. My biggest passion now is creating accessible experiences which actually take the public’s opinion and the environment’s needs into consideration. We need to pare back to the main stakeholders that the architecture is made for and impacts upon: people and biodiversity. Artificial lighting is developed for humans; nowhere else in the natural world there is a demand for electric lighting. My philosophy of lighting outdoor spaces is enhancing the visual experience proportionate to its social and environmental sustainability. We need to explore the holistic potential of what light and the absence of light can offer to us. This cannot be done by maxing out on using light as a visual embellishment tool.

My lightbulb moment occurred in late 2018 when I left my role at Speirs Major after 7 1/2 years. You could say I was having a sort of early midlife crisis as I was yearning for a purpose. My passion started leaning towards bringing small but meaningful improvements to people’s lives by making lighting design accessible.

I began by studying Interior & Furniture Design at Anadolu University in Turkey before being introduced to lighting design in my last year of studies during an exchange year in Hildesheim, Germany. Throughout my journey as a young designer, I realised how powerful light and dark can be in creating an ambience and experience. This brought me back to Germany to study for a Master’s in Architectural Lighting Design at Wismar University. It proved to be the wisest decision I ever made in my 20s.

We met with Kerem to discuss his passions, his past and his future, including the preservation of dark skies and his philosophy towards exterior and architectural lighting, and the award-winning Plas Y Brenin project.

I previously volunteered at a community centre called Kori in North London from 2013 - 2014, where I mentored two teenagers. It was an amazing experience which opened my eyes to the importance of community engagement. Kori offered another programme called the Vessel which helped people to develop and deliver projects in one of their partner countries, Gambia. After a successful fundraiser, I went there to train 40 local electricians about solar power and lighting design to help increase their employment potential. We then worked with the trainees to design and install solar lighting for a 24-hour accessible community library which provided local children with a safe place to study.

My beacon of dark, rather than light, has sadly just passed away. I am lucky enough to have worked with and been inspired by lots of people within the lighting industry, but my beacon was someone from the dark side. His name was Bob Mizon, and he was the Coordinator for the British Astronomical Association’s Commission for Dark Skies. He has done incredible work raising awareness about light pollution and spreading the importance of dark skies within the UK and beyond. His vision has inspired me greatly. He will be sorely missed, but his work and achievements will live on through people that continue to carry his beacon of darkness.

Initially envisaged as a re-lighting scheme, this project quickly turned into an enhancement scheme which showcased that dark sky-friendly lighting can also be visually intriguing and inviting. I have been blown away by the level of support received from the design community. This project demonstrates a yearning for change that is now more prominent than ever. I feel incredibly grateful that the message we were trying to give was well-received and appreciated to this extent.

We are recognising the negative impact of light pollution and how it is accelerating at an alarming rate. Light comes at an economic, well-being and environmental cost. 6% of the global power consumption can be attributed to lighting. It’s literally the most visible form of energy consumption, and its impact on the environment is evident. At no point in our history had we produced and consumed more light. Now that we have a clear understanding of its adverse effects, if we don’t do anything about it, we would be actively choosing to be a part of the problem.
