The intention of this work is to represent the nomadic culture by a luminaire. Inspired by the nomadic Mongolian ger(yurt) and based on its physical and cultural characters, the work is done by designing a portable luminaire with the concept of the solar solution. The whole project is an attempt of bringing traditional culture items to luminaire design and searching for the balance between them.

In contemporary debates on space, the validity of &amp / #8216 / physical space&amp / #8217 / as an indispensable category of human existence is widely questioned on the basis of the claim that the relevant interval of analysis has shifted from &amp / #8216 / space&amp / #8217 / to &amp / #8216 / time&amp / #8217 / , thanks to the technological innovations enabling the speed of present-day telecommunications. The apparent primacy of mobility of deterritorialized commodities, signs, meanings, and identities, in the contemporary society, adds new dimensions to the traumatic experience of ephemerality, in spatial and temporal categories. Through the claims declaring, the dissolution of the dichotomy between urban and rural, and redefinition of the relevant dichotomy between the &amp / #8216 / space of places&amp / #8217 / and the &amp / #8216 / space of flows&amp / #8217 / in recent theoretical efforts / we attempt to trace how the notion of &amp / #8216 / place&amp / #8217 / could be revalidated and reconstituted with reference to processes of contemporary globalization. The study examines the new paths for a constructive definition of &amp / #8216 / place&amp / #8217 / , which are opened up by the crisis in locating and representing temporal and spatial categories both physically and mentally.
