Ziel der Studie war es, die Frage zu beantworten, inwiefern Lichtgestaltung einen Ausstellungsraum für unterschiedliche Besucher:innen, insbesondere für Menschen mit Seheinschränkungen, zugänglicher und inklusiver machen kann. Die Studie wurde von einem Team aus Expert:innen der Raumwahrnehmung und Lichtgestaltung durchgeführt, darunter Paula Longato (Buro Happold), Prof. Ulrich Nether (IDS) und Kristina Herrmann (IDS), Justin Groot (Sentistic), sowie Studierende der Innenarchitektur in Kooperation mit der Deutschen Arbeitswelt Ausstellung (DASA) und unterstützt durch die Lichttechnik des Unternehmens Zumtobel. Die Sonderausstellung „Respekt“ in Dortmund diente als Forschungsplattform. Durch die partizipative Einbeziehung von Menschen mit Seheinschränkungen wurde ein Forschungsdesign entwickelt, das spezifische Erkenntnisse über die Rolle der Lichtwahrnehmung und deren Bedeutung für die inklusive Gestaltung von Ausstellungsräumen generieren sollte.}}, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Herrmann, Kristina and Longato, Paula and Schnaus, Anna and Brockmann, Lisa and Willing, Pauline and Schwierz, Tabea and Schnitzler, Rebecca and Dicke, Victoria}}, keywords = {{Inclusive Lighting, Ausstellungsdesign, Seheinschränkungen, Partizipation, Feldforschung, Pre-Study}}, pages = {{99}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Was wir sehen - Inclusive Lighting}}}, year = {{2025}}, } @misc{13000, abstract = {{The following paper examines how gamification principles can expand citizen engagement and participatory processes in the Smart City. Smart city data in particular can be communicated excellently via digital media, regardless of location and time, due to the way it is technologically generated, stored and processed. Consequently, it makes sense to develop separate digital visualizations and tools for citizens, which on the one hand explain relevant relationships in a generally understandable way and on the other hand can reduce the high technological complexity. Especially in recent times, new formats of digital citizen participation have been emerging, some of which are specially developed between actors in urban development and media agencies (i.e. ZebraLog, Decidim, etc.). It is not uncommon that also the latest technologies such as VR glasses, digital twins, etc. come to use. But despite all the technological innovation, one of the basic problems of classic participation remains unsolved: The mix of participating citizens does not reflect the diversity of society even remotely. Socioeconomically disadvantaged groups in particular are not sufficiently reached and hence not included; instead, it tends to be the educated middle class that participates "who may be passionate about certain issues and ignore larger issues" (Ampatzidou et al. 2018; Akers 2022). Moreover, digital platforms require the decision to actively access it online. Against the background of this challenge, the two research teams of the Institute for Design Strategies at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Ostwestfalen-Lippe are trying to link digital Smart City techniques with the potential of gamification by building and testing very simple and analog tools and methods. In these the linked digital data tends to take place much more in the background while the joy of playing with tangible elements could support citizen engagement and behavioural changes in an easier way. This paper looks at a selection of six applied methods and formats that the team has tested in the public spaces of the medium sized city Detmold, Germany, in a completely or partially analog way in 2024. Topics such as urban planning, data security, mobility, climate change and the Smart City itself were discussed in the formats. The methods tested serve as supplementary elements to online participation and as a further development of classic outreach. Categorizations of gamification elements were reviewed for the analysis. In addition, the methods were classified at different levels of participation according to Cardullo and Kitchin based on Arnstein's work. The paper also takes a critical look at the statement that "Many believe that technological advancements in communication will support a bright new era of political engagement and dialogue" (Green 2020) and that digitalization is therefore the panacea for participation. Furthermore, it has been examined how power imbalances can be countered and a more inviting environment for participatory practices can be achieved.}}, author = {{Licht, Mareile and Albrecht, Kyra and Ashmawy, Mohamed Khaled and Scholten-Reintjes, Marie-Joelle and Nether, Ulrich and Häusler, Axel}}, booktitle = {{REAL CORP 2025: Urban innovation to boldly go where no cities have gone before - medium sized cities and towns as a major arena of global urbanisation : proceedings of 30th International Conference on Urban Planning, Regional Development and Information Society }}, editor = {{Schrenk, Manfred and Popovich, Tatiana and Zeile, Peter and Elisei, Pietro and Beyer, Clemens and Ryser, Judith and Trattnig, Uwe}}, isbn = {{978-3-9504945-4-9}}, issn = {{2521-3938}}, keywords = {{citizen, smart city, gamification, participation, communication}}, location = {{Graz}}, pages = {{553--564}}, publisher = {{CORP - Competence Center of Urban and Regional Planning }}, title = {{{Gamification in the Smart City: Insights from Participation and Communication Processes}}}, doi = {{10.48494/REALCORP2025.6032}}, year = {{2025}}, } @misc{11498, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Minge, Michael and Rubart, Jessica and Pieper, Svenja and Tasci, Aylin and Hartmann, Lara and Herrmann, Kristina}}, keywords = {{Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Teaching, University, interdisciplinary}}, pages = {{141}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{DiversityLab TH OWL}}}, year = {{2024}}, } @misc{11549, abstract = {{Documentation 1) of the design part of MONOCAB OWL and 2) of the research and development process 2020 - 2023}}, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Sachs, Hans and Meirelles Reis Sotero de Menezes, Carolina and Müh, Maximilian}}, isbn = {{978-3-939349-51-8}}, pages = {{140}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule OWL}}, title = {{{MONOCAB design + process}}}, year = {{2024}}, } @misc{11861, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Herrmann, Kristina and Scharfe, Greta Gesine}}, keywords = {{Partizipation, Kindertagesstätten Gestaltung, Lehre und Forschung}}, pages = {{118}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Raum partizipativ entwickeln - Gestaltung der KiTa Ahornallee}}}, year = {{2024}}, } @misc{13241, abstract = {{Lighting in museums is crucial for showcasing exhibits while controlling light exposure to protect sensitive artworks.

This research began with extensive desktop studies and evolved through collaboration between TH-OWL University in Detmold, Germany, who specialize in perception and spatial effects at the Institute for Design Strategies (IDS) and Buro Happold, integrated consulting engineers and advisors. Our partners include Sentistic, a startup providing sensors for anonymous space usage data, and Zumtobel, which supplied professional lighting equipment for our tests. We tested our hypotheses during a temporary exhibition on inclusion at DASA in Dortmund, Germany. The exhibition, titled “Respekt,” runs from May 2024 to February 2025. Our field study was divided into two phases to compare and assess lighting in different settings. The first phase used the museum’s standard lighting, while the second employed Zumtobel’s equipment to create a more balanced lighting scenario. Each phase lasted about one month. Our research utilized quantitative methods (photo surveys with 360° HDR imaging, statistical space usage data, and on-site light reflection measurements) and qualitative methods (interviews with visually impaired visitors and on-site observations). We gained significant insights from this initial study, which we aim to share with the museum community. We hope to engage more institutions in exploring how their spaces and exhibitions can better serve special visitors. While our focus began with the visually impaired, many other areas of inclusion remain to be researched. Our robust methodology can be applied to further studies in this field.}}, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Longato, Paula}}, booktitle = {{Seventeenth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum Conference Proceedings}}, isbn = {{978-1-963049-87-9}}, location = {{Wien}}, title = {{{Research Lighting and Inclusion: How Can Lighting Create a Better Museum Experience for the Visually Impaired?}}}, doi = {{10.18848/978-1-963049-86-2/CGP}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{7063, author = {{Herrmann, Kristina and Nether, Ulrich}}, issn = {{2566-8900}}, journal = {{urbanLab Magazin - Fachzeitschrift für Stadt- und Quartiersplanung}}, number = {{7}}, pages = {{76 -- 81}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Inklusive Hochschule - Vielfalt, Chancengleichheit und Teilhabe an der TH OWL}}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inproceedings{5916, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Dorf, Johanna Julia}}, editor = {{Cordan, Özge and Dinçay, Demet Arslan and Toker, Çağıl Yurdakul }}, isbn = {{978-3-030-65059-9}}, location = {{Istanbul}}, publisher = {{Springer}}, title = {{{Handicap as a Design Catalyst }}}, volume = {{13}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inbook{5959, author = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, booktitle = {{Design im Zeitalter der Geschwindigkeit}}, editor = {{Hemmerling, Marco}}, isbn = {{978-3-7705-4990-0}}, publisher = {{Fink}}, title = {{{Paradigmenwechsel im Design?}}}, volume = {{77-90}}, year = {{2021}}, } @inbook{5920, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Ley, Jan Phillip and Dorf, Johanna Julia and Herrmann, Kristina}}, booktitle = {{Design for Inclusion, Gamification and Learning Experience}}, editor = {{Angeli , Franco}}, isbn = {{9788891772893}}, pages = {{370--382}}, publisher = {{ Franco Angeli}}, title = {{{Parameter of Inclusive Design for Spaces of Learning : New Methods in Design Education}}}, volume = {{1}}, year = {{2020}}, } @inproceedings{5938, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Ley, Jan Phillip and Dorf, Johanna Julia and Herrmann, Kristina}}, location = {{Detmold}}, title = {{{Universal Design Practice Conference }}}, year = {{2018}}, } @inbook{5952, author = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, booktitle = {{Informed Architecture}}, editor = {{Hemmerling, Marco and Cocchiarella, Luigi }}, isbn = {{978-3-319-53134-2 }}, pages = {{115--118}}, publisher = {{Springer}}, title = {{{Human, Space and Digitization}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-319-53135-9_11}}, year = {{2017}}, } @book{5942, editor = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, isbn = {{978-3-88778-508-6}}, pages = {{207}}, publisher = {{Spurbuchverlag }}, title = {{{Perception of space in architecture and culture: adhocratic spaces : international summer school at Istanbul Technical University : 14.07.2014-27.07.2014}}}, year = {{2016}}, } @inbook{5946, author = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, booktitle = {{Perception of Space in Architecture and Culture - Study of Adhoratic Spaces}}, editor = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, isbn = {{978-3-88778-508-6}}, pages = {{31--45}}, publisher = {{Spurbuchverlag}}, title = {{{Making the Invisible Visible}}}, year = {{2016}}, } @article{5947, author = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, journal = {{Wohnmedizin}}, number = {{3}}, pages = {{18--24}}, title = {{{Der Stuhl - Ist schön und gut sitzen auch gesund?}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inbook{5948, author = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, booktitle = {{Design Thinking}}, editor = {{Hofmann, Martin Ludwig and Vetter, Andreas}}, isbn = {{ 9783770556410}}, pages = {{77--90}}, publisher = {{Wilhelm Fink}}, title = {{{Jeder ein Designer}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inbook{5970, author = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, booktitle = {{Sensory Living}}, editor = {{Reisinger, Markus}}, title = {{{Perception of Space in Architecture and Culture}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inbook{5971, author = {{Nether, Ulrich}}, booktitle = {{Perception of Space in Architecture and Culture - Sensory Living}}, editor = {{Nether, Ulrich and Reisinger, Markus}}, pages = {{S. 69--71}}, title = {{{Human Forms}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inbook{5972, author = {{Nether, Ulrich and Walthert - Haag, Dominic}}, booktitle = {{Perception of Space in Architecture and Culture - Sensory Living}}, editor = {{Nether, Ulrich and Reisinger, Markus }}, pages = {{S. 145--176}}, title = {{{Focusing Sensation}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inbook{7658, author = {{Hofmann, Martin Ludwig}}, booktitle = {{Perception of Space and Culture.
