Jialun Cao Wins Grand Prize for the IESNYC Student Lighting Competition
The IESNYC announced Jialun Cao—a Bachelor of Industrial Design (BID) student from Pratt Institute—as the Grand Prize winner for his lighting project "GHOST TOWN" at the IESNYC Student Lighting Competition. On March 5th, a total of 117 student projects were judged by Stephen Bernstein, Cline Bettridge Bernstein Lighting Design; Elizabeth Donoff, Architectural Lighting Magazine; and Josh Heitler, Heitler Houstoun Architects. This year’s theme, LIGHT & CULTURE, challenged students to construct a three-dimensional study exploring the role of light in rituals, events, or rites of passage. Light can often be a critical element in a religious or national celebration, like fireworks on the Fourth of July, a lifetime milestone, like a unity candle at a wedding, or a daily observance, like a sun salutation. Light & Culture allowed each individual to expand upon their own experiences of light and how it contributes to culture.
Andrea Young Fierro, Karmen Ho, and Suji Lee, from Parsons the New School for Design won second place for their project "LAYERED." Third place went to Simy Bentata Singer from Pratt Institute and honorable mentions were awarded to Chenxi Guo, Pratt Institute; Aysel Aziz and Simi Sanghavi, both from Parsons the New School of Design; and Craig Young, NYSID.
