Thank you Dwell for caring about the art of light in the city. Dear reader viewers, if you would like to know more, www.lightprojectsltd.com
Leni Schwendinger truly understands and is in the forefront of an idea of how important lighting can be to urban design. Thanks!
Leniโs conceptual approach to lighting is unique. I had the pleasure of being Leni's student, and later working with her at a professional level. She has made a significant and permanent impact on the way I perceive lighting and the night time environment.
I am continually awed by the accomplishments of my dear cousin, Leni Schwendinger! Bravo Leni! Cuz Martha
this video is really cool, inspirational, and plants a hope for big cities like new york.
I hope the whole world is watching. If Times Square can be turned around and rejuvenated other cities if committed can do the same. Outstanding!
really beautiful.
