DE-ESCALATE

Our aim

De-escalate develops and tests mechanisms for de-escalation of aggression through dynamic light. The project studies the potential impact of light on de-escalation, by examining psychological pathways through which exposure to dynamic light might defuse escalation. It translates these findings into dynamic lighting scenarios, and tests their effectiveness in two real-life situations: an inner-city entertainment area and a psychiatric care facility.
