# Light-Up Glass Maps The Amazing Living Light Sculpture in Peace Park South Korea By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-11-04 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-light-sculpture References: [livinglightseoul.net](http://www.livinglightseoul.net/) I've never been to Seoul, South Korea, but apparently it's an experience in blinding, [neon lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-unity). Perhaps then, the city's Living Light sculpture, a beautiful eco-conscious design which can be found at the [World Cup Stadium's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosquitmed-sun-protection) Peace Park, isn't as awe-inspiring for Koreans as it is for me. The Living Light sculpture by designers Soo-in Yang and David Benjamin has a glass skin that actually represents a redrawn map of twenty-seven Seoul neighborhoods. The lights on the sculpture will light up according to which neighborhood has the best air quality and which has the worst. And, get this: people can text the structure to find out at any given time the air quality in specific neighborhoods! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-conscious Designs:** The Living Light sculpture's eco-conscious design provides opportunities for similar designs or products. - **Interactive Public Art:** The Living Light sculpture's interactive feature creates opportunities for more public art projects with user engagement as a central element. - **Smart City Features:** The Living Light sculpture's measurement of air quality highlights the potential for smart city infrastructure that enhances citizen well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The Living Light sculpture combines technology and design to provide a roadmap for similarly innovative designs in public and private spaces. - **Art:** The Living Light sculpture presents opportunities for more interactive public art pieces that incorporate technology and community engagement. - **Smart City Technology:** The Living Light sculpture's measurement and reporting on air quality highlights the need for smart city technology with a focus on improving environmental health. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eclipse-Themed Rooftop Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-zero.md) - [Dynamic Interactive Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zava.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Orb Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-island.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Outdoor Light-Up Globes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moongarden.md) - [Musical Island Regeneration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundscape-1.md) - [Neon Illuminated Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-unity.md)
