  • Civil Twilight design
    Civil Twilight's lunar-resonant streetlighting is a project that won the top honor from Metropolis Magazine's Next Generation contest in 2007. But we were pleased (but not surprised) to discover that this project is just the tip of the iceberg; the Bay Area-based collective has a slew of other equally-engaging projects in the works (including the mycofarmhouse, in which mushrooms break down and recycle wood-frame buildings). They describe their design process as "brilliant simplicity, across scales and media." We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Read on for some more info about their winning streetlights, other projects, their approach to sustainability, and the trio of talent that is Civil Twilight.
