Lighting Masterplan for Nagasaki City Center 2017

The Nagasaki nightscape has been certified as one of the new top three nightscapes around the world. In order to increase the charm of the city, a lighting masterplan was formulated. Nagasaki is a city with sloping topography, waterfront, asian and western cultural elements, a history of Christian persecution, and is the site of an A-bomb explosion. City lighting needs to be functional and comfortable, but also add a sense of Nagasaki individuality to the nightscape where people want to stroll along.
