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 . |
