Light celebrating place, West Texas Road Trip
Abstract
The dissertation explores the ability of light to embody and enhance the spirit of
place in the Big Bend section of West Texas. A series of surveys and research
investigated and then paired elements of light and place that were designed, and installed
or simulated, in four experiential case studies. The case studies were evaluated by
published authors of light and place and the dissertation committee and deemed mostly
successful. Light installations can be embodied and enhance the spirit of place, the
installations which were experienced “live” did this most effectively.
