The night time potential for designing with light of this roof garden/residence would be amazing!

I wish I could nominate the five or ten best examples of outdoor lighting design for spaces rather than objects. But I do not often see gardens in the dark – except hotel gardens which are done for advertising purposes. But I can’t.

Which five landscapes would you nominate for their use of light? And why?

Architecture and landscape architecture should be, among other things, about the design of SPACE. Walls and roofs make this relatively easy for indoor space. Outdoor space has many boundaries, including buildings, trees, hills and the sky. Designing outdoor space for night-time is easier, because the extent of the light defines the extent of the space. We should do more outdoor lighting design, conceiving it as the design of space – not as the lighting of outdoor objects.
