Locations
All three IALD lighting design workshops will be located on the banks of the River Emajõgi in Tartu. Close to the locations of two installations there are bridges with programmable lighting that could be used in the same composition as the workshop lighting solutions.
We will not illuminate the river but control its light by creating reflections. Water provides an opportunity to amplify light images and create an illusory, thoughtful extension to them. In each workshop it will be possible to work with light and different types of landscape.
The red markings on the map indicate the locations of the IALD workshops.
First Workshop: Facade and Minature Forms Near the Pond
The workshop area is located in the garden of the Botanical Gardens of the University of Tartu (38 Lai Street) and provides the opportunity to create a lighting solution for the historic facade of the building as well as the pond, bridge and gazebo in front of it and find an appropriate solution for the Freedom Bridge in the background.
Second Workshop: Sculptures in the River Promenade Park
The workshop focuses on illuminating the greenery and three monuments of the Vabaduse (Freedom) Avenue along the river Emajõgi and linking them to achieve a complete riverfront promenade.
- The statue of Oskar Luts was erected in 1987 on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the writer Oskar Luts. The sculpture is designed by sculptor Aulin Rimm and architect Allan Murdmaa.
- The Tartu Monument to the War of Independence is dedicated to soldiers who died in the Estonian War of Independence. It is a replica of the monument opened on 17 September 1933 and demolished on 1950 by the Soviet authorities.
- The Kreutzwald Monument commemorates Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald , an Estonian writer and doctor. It was erected in 1952 in place of the memorial of the Estonian War of Independence, which was taken away. In 2003, the Kreutzwald Monument was moved to the line of Gild Street to reallocate the restored War of Independence Monument. The monument is designed by sculptors Johannes Hirv and Martin Saks and architects Heiki Karro, Ants Mellik and Mart Port.
Third Workshop: Riverside Seating Area
The workshop links the Emajõgi observation platform with the area between the Võidu Bridge and the Turu Bridge, the lighting of the Võidu Bridge and reflections of the river, creating a cozy and inviting riverside seating area to one of the banks and a playful view to the other side.
