This book documents the research behind Lost in the Light, my bachelor’s thesis at the Free University of Bolzano. It investigates light pollution, a growing yet often overlooked form of environmental degradation caused by excessive and improperly applied artificial lighting. light pollution not only interferes with our ability to observe celestial objects, it also disrupts local ecosystems, affects human physical and mental well-being, and wastes energy and resources.

The research explores the causes, consequences, and possible solutions to light pollution, as well as the potential role of design in raising collective awareness by communicating the topic and data in an interesting, relatable, and accessible way. This is an essential step toward positive change for the future.
The book combines scientific studies with extensive photographic documentation of light pollution across the main cities and valleys of Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
