ReviewsThis book by Dr.Julle Oksanen is about light, life and architecture. The author is aninternationally known lighting and nocturnal architecture professional inshadow-rich darkness design. He has extensively studied the sources of lightpollution in outdoor environments and its effects on biodiversity from amultidisciplinary perspective. In this meticulously researched work, he definesthe basics and provides us with expert information on how to make artificiallighting sustainably responsible in man-made environments all over the world.Remarkably comprehensive in theory and practice, we learn how to remove lightpollution with his new nocturnal design guidelines. This book is an excellentinvaluable resource and reference for anyone interested in sustainablearchitecture, the versatile sources of global illumination, and its impact onEarth's biodiversity. Experts in architecture, landscape architecture,developers, engineers and many environmental researchers will find the content tobe essential in their studies and practices regarding artificial light.Recommendations for further research and interdisciplinary cooperation andcollaboration are among the most important content in this work. This usefulbook is a contribution that will improve our world, our human part of itparticularly, and all other life affected by it. Please read and learn, andthen act to join the author and other like-minded citizens in preserving, improving,and protecting this one planet upon which all life depends. Daniel Klem, Jr.,Ph.D., D.Sc.

SynopsisDarkness, Design, and Biodiversityexamines the overlooked crisis of light pollution, advocating for the protection of our planet's natural night. It offers a critical examination of how modern lighting practices harm biodiversity and introduces innovative solutions for creating protective darkness. Through three core paradigms, the book addresses the causes and solutions of light pollution, presents technical outdoor lighting strategies, and explores the design of nocturnal spaces. Aimed at a broad audience, from students across various disciplines to laypeople and professionals, it serves as both an informative resource and a call to action. By combining insights from ecology, architecture, engineering, and more, this concise work encourages readers to contribute to preserving nature's diversity by rethinking our approach to artificial lighting and darkness.
