Amphitheater
Currently there is no exterior lighting on the amphitheater
since the cemetery is closed after dusk. I am proposing an
architectural lighting concept for this space in the chance
they may want to open the cemetery after dark.
Goals:
• Emphasize Classical
architecture
• Place circulation lighting to
create flow through the
space
