Wismar Town Square Lighting Design: Light of Wishes

The first workshop of my master programme. The task was to do the light installation in the market square of Wismar. This was a group task. We named our installation "Light of Wishes" followed our concept. The concept was people in town could make a wish and participate in our installation which was separated in 3 parts; town hall, Wasserkunst (or water tank pavilion) and market square itself. The town hall was designed to be the background of the installation. Its facade was lit by blue light and let interior lighting turn on. Wasserkunst was also lit by blue light and the inside with ripple lighting effect to represent its history. Market square was the main area. Swedish fire was put in the center of the area and accent the pattern of floor by using candle lights. Near the center, they had a sand dune, where the wish lights were put on, and a group of balloons, which people could stick their wish papers on.
