Light intensity and spectral composition notably impact the human circadian rhythm. The human body is a physiological system that regulates its sleep-awake cycle through a constant rhythm of light and darkness. For a long time, the lighting research field has been concerned with understanding this circadian …

The boundary object we consider is a boundary spanning practice tied to a specific location, namely the open lab – hence the title ‘The Open Lab as a Boundary Object’. We approach the question if an open lab as a place that can operate as a boundary object that fosters intersectionality, malleability, …
