As soon as dusk sets in, artificial lights begin to interfere and redefine the urban realm due to its intrinsic properties and the indiscriminate use of colored lighting. The rapid and continuous development of lighting technology has outgrown the purpose of mere illumination and has put the sun itself in the shade by redefining new properties for lighting design.<\/p>\n<p>As Gerhard Auer declares<sup>1<\/sup>:&nbsp;<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">\u00ab<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">architecture is no longer simply the play of masses in light &#8211; it is the interplay of fictitious image-messages in a feigned space.

The fact that colored lighting effects due to publicity and large LED screens populate our cities at night can give us a completely different atmosphere. These colored schemes can also disturb the real perception of the environment quality due to the mismatching color properties. Thus, the night of the contemporary city is where the everyday and the spectacular now coexist favored by public and private lighting schemes transforming the urban scenery in a real kaleidoscope of interactivity and different chromatics effects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-81769b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"81769b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a9b8912\" data-id=\"a9b8912\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37a1de9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37a1de9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA deeper reflection about this integration of lighting systems, color effects and architecture should be done.

More than ever artificial lighting and associated technologies can reproduce a world of fantasy in public space. Quoting the famous sociologist Mcluhan<sup>3<\/sup>, light has become the medium and the message itself, which most commercial and private institutions found to spread their products, using illuminated publicity as a tool to imprint their logos on people\u2019s mind, for instance.

The problem resigns in the content of this luminous information for a recovery of a place and resizes the scale of the nocturnal city. The risks are that under the darkness veil of the night artificial lights transform the building as a self-reference object which probably had nothing to do with the architect\u2019s concept at first, or it can completely turn upside down the meanings and therefore the actual message to transmit for the general public.
