`
`Lightouch for Forsythe and MacAllen.
`
`2003-11-24
`The Lightouch Lighting System Design Competition for 2003 attracted 69 entries from around the world and
`awarded a top prize to Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen of Forsythe and MacAllen Design of Vancou11er, for
`their Soft Light. This lighting concept partitions larger open spaces into more intimate yet ephemeral
`surroundings. The lighting en11elopes and can also act as elements within the smaller spaces. The fixtures 11ary in
`scale from furniture to an actual room, or fragment of room. A glowing table can become a gathering place, for
`instance, and a room becomes a pri11ate place of repose. The illumination can come from within the piece; it can
`be integral to the piece; it can pass through it from another source or can be reflected off of it. The lamps are
`made from hundreds of layers of flame-retardant treated paper, forming a honeycomb structure that can expand
`and contract in a soft flexible way. The awards scheme, launched by DesignSingapore Council, challenges
`participants to de11elop design solutions for unique, non-intrusi11e, mixed-use modular lighting systems that can
`shape a creati11e and interacti11e li11e-work-play en11ironment. Soft House, an architectural proposal that borrows
`from the Soft Light honeycomb morphology, has recently garnered Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen a
`Golden Prize in the Design Beyond East and West housing competition in Korea. The firm has recei11ed two ar +
`d awards from Architectural Re11iew magazine, a first prize in a competition to design 200 units of housing and
`community facilities for Aomori City, Japan, and the Ron J. Thom Award from the Canada Council, among other
`accolades.
