Luminaire encompasses the design and implementation of light fixtures and lighting systems within architecture and interior spaces. This includes both functional illumination and artistic applications of light as a design element.

The community explores lighting across scales, from intimate domestic fixtures to large-scale public installations, examining how light defines atmosphere, guides movement, and transforms architectural form. Projects range from interactive sustainable lighting systems to monumental LED installations and poetic beacon structures.
