Lamps play their role in the dark, i.e. they shine. However, during the day, when their light is not needed, they are an element of the urban landscape. Sometimes this element fits well with its surroundings (i.e. it "feels" good), other times it is an element of disorder in the space (i.e. it "feels" bad). Sometimes it interacts with the sun, creating aesthetic puzzles. Lamps can be assigned something like a "soul", even if it is only the soul of the place, referred to as "genius loci".
