I’m an architect.
I don’t design buildings.
I design places where people feel good.
I don’t start a project by sitting down in a quiet office.
I sit in the busiest café in the busiest place in the city.
I watch the people.
Hear the stories.
Smell the scents.
Feel the light.
I sit there and wait until an idea strikes.
Until it nudges me and says, “This is how we’ll do it. Exactly like this.”
I’m an architect.
I don’t design buildings.
I design places where people feel good.

[editorial] Paul James, editor, writes: The more observant among you may have noticed that we have changed our tagline to
The International Magazine for Designers with Light. We began mondo*arc some fifteen years ago with the sole
editorial intention of promoting good lighting design on an international scale. The name mondo*arc, an offshoot of
our sister title mondo*dr (for professional lighting and sound), was a convenient title to encompass the worldwide
architectural, retail and commercial lighting markets. There was no need to include the word ‘design’ or ‘designer’
in the tagline, everyone knew where we stood. But, as the market has developed and LED has come to the fore as
a disruptive technology we have increasingly seen that, for large parts of the market, ‘design’ is the last thing on
anyone’s mind. Lighting may be about lux levels, watts per metre and CRI but lighting design is about so much more. It’s about creative flair,
inspirational projects and exciting interactions of light. That sprinkle of magic that distinguishes a special project or product from one that
is purely concerned with reaching the legislative lighting levels to be acceptable.
Designers with light because, in the very best instances, light (whether artificial or natural) is used as a tool to create special spaces by
many different design professionals in the built environment who have an intrinsic involvement with, and love of, light. People like Patrick
Arends of Mecanoo, Joost Heremans and Nicholas Ling at Foster + Partners and Eoin Billings of Billings Jackson Design. I mention these
people in particular because they will be talking at a new type of lighting conference, ‘Designers With Light Forum’, that we are organising
as part of May Design Series in London this year (details from page 169). As ever, our principle of getting designers of all persuasions together
to talk about light holds true and this free-to-attend event will be no exception. We want to spread the lighting love beyond the lighting
industry. I hope to see you there. www.designerswithlight.com

Pete Brewis, deputy editor, writes: As a poet, politician, philosopher and playwright, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
was well acquainted with the power of words. Yet at the end of his life in the last days of March 1822, Frankfurt’s
most famous son is said to have uttered just two: “Mehr licht!” As if in answer to this final exclamation, the good folk
of Messe Frankfurt have once again obliged with the return of Light + Building. As March 2014 draws to a close, the
doors of the Halls 1 to infinity will open to reveal what the world’s luminaire producers have been busy preparing for
international show-and-tell time.
For many years - particularly during the last heady decade of LED development - the big news was indeed ‘More light!’: more lumens per
watt, better efficacy, delivered in ever smaller, more convenient units. The words used were packed with hyperbole and lofty promises, and
the products presented could often struggle to live up to expectation.
Thankfully, the emphasis seems to be shifting, with ‘better light’ returning to the top of the agenda. Better reliability, better controllability,
better colour rendering, and a better quality of lit environment are all given increasing credence - perhaps not within the lighting design
profession, where these have long been factors for consideration, but in the wider world of the client and end user. Increasingly the actual
owners and occupiers of a space are learning that the real debate is much subtler than a simple demand for ‘more’.
In truth, there’s a suggestion that Goethe’s purported final words may themselves not be entirely accurate. Give google a quick shake and a
host of uncertain alternatives quickly tumble out. One theory is that he was misheard and actually said “Mehr nicht!” (a poetically inflected
‘no more!’ - a feeling which will be familiar to anyone who has experienced a full week of L+B stimulation), though a more plausible - and
for the lighting designers out there, more pleasing - suggestion is that his last gasp was a request: “Open the second shutter so that more
light may come in.” A plea for better lighting design, if ever I heard one...

eye opener
Infinity Bamboo Forest, Wuxi, China
This stunning light installation in the concourse of ‘Moonlit Garden’,
the Chinese headquarters of Daiwa house, Japan’s foremost property
developers, in Wuxi, China, was designed by Prism Design, a Shanghai-
based architecture and design studio founded in 2009 by Tomohiro
Katsuki. Because Daiwa House is a Japanese company, Prism wanted to
use the image of a full-grown bamboo forest prominently in the space,
continuing the reference to traditional Japanese design and culture.
Having limited budget, time and space, Prism took a minimal approach
in its design. Inspired by the concept of visual infinity they decided to
create the illuminated passage using only a small amount of the total
space and creating a clear focus on its enhancement.
LEDs, supplied by Koizumi Lighting Technology, are positioned below
acrylic pipes emitting light upwards to create a beautiful effect. This is
made even more spectacular as the rest of the room is dimly lit.

TOWERING INFERNO
At the end of 2013, Ipswich Borough Council
announced the winners of their hard fought
competition to rejuvenate the large square
at Cornhill. Light Bureau, alongside Hall
McKnight and the Paul Hogarth Company are
now developing the project, which involves
discrete amenity lighting, illumination of
listed facades and a new central feature
to the space, all of which are intended
to create a welcoming and memorable
experience for locals and visitors.

BERNABÉAUTIFUL
A team consisting of GMP, L35 and
Ribas&Ribas has been chosen by Real
Madrid Football Club to convert the
mythical Santiago Bernabéu Stadium into
the new architectural icon of Madrid and a
worldwide sporting landmark.
The remodelling will give the Santiago
Bérnabeu a truly avant-garde design: a
new outer skin made of metallic strips
of changing curvatures and LEDs and a
retractable roof will represent a radical
change to its outward appearance.
Although the new envelope is shaped
freely, its geometry is not accidental. The
curved volumes are able to reflect light in
a changing way, its marked lines expressing
energy and drive. While visually dominating
its surroundings, the stadium volume is
adapted to the program behind it, swelling
or shrinking without losing unity or
character.
The ventilated cladding material is designed
to allow or to block sunlight through its
changing pattern. The skin geometry is
line-based, which allows a building process
that -despite its high-tech component- is
relatively simple and allows for large
sections to be shop-assembled.
From the structural point of view, the
new roof is designed with elegance and
efficiency. A compression beam rests
neatly on the existing concrete columns.
Supported on this outer ring, the inner ring
is supported on stressed cables. The whole
roof is mounted on the pitch and lifted into
position.
The project also includes the construction
of a hotel with views of the pitch,
a shopping and leisure centre, an
underground car park in the Paseo de la
Castellana and new public spaces in the
surrounding areas.
029
Energy efficiency, integration with the
surroundings and new technology are the
principles upon which the design team
based their innovative proposal. “We feel
incredibly proud to have met this challenge
and we are convinced that the new image
of the Bernabéu will stick in people’s
memories,” assures Tristán López-Chicheri,

TROXY MUSIC
London Art Deco theatre the Troxy was
struggling to grab the attention of pass-
ers-by at night, with very little light emit-
ting the building suggesting that the theatre
was closed. The primary objective of the
lighting upgrade was to bring some new life
to the exterior of the building, reflecting
the same energy present on the inside.
During the summer of 2013 Troxy called
upon Architainment Lighting for a number
of external LED lighting solutions. Wanting
to make the most of the original 1930s fea-
tures, Architainment specified Philips Color
Kinetics ColorBurst Compact, ColorBlast TRX
and ColorBlast Powercore fictures which
remained sympathetic to the architecture.
Troxy knew prior to Architainment’s involve-
ment that they required an all LED solution,
this was due to, primarily, the durability
associated with LEDs and secondly, because
of the reduced running costs. (Troxy have
already been making an impressive £30,000
per year saving after replacing their inter-
nal spots to an LED alternative.) In addition
to the fixtures supplied, Architainment’s
Technical Services team built a custom web
interface specifically for the Troxy allowing
easy synchronisation between the already
existing internal lighting system and the
newly supplied external fixtures – allowing
clients the flexibility to brand the venue
with their own corporate colours and/or
theme.
The Troxy now stands firmly and proudly
with a façade as bright as the entertain-
ment inside.

OUT OF THE SMOKE

[spotlight] Since December 2013 GNI projects’ first

permanent laser installation can be experi-
enced in the top floor cigar bar of a 5 Star
Hotel in Davos.
GNI designed three ‘Laser Disks’ (manufac-
tured by Mike Stoane Lighting), building on
their trademark laser mesh concepts. The
three interactive and intriguing laser sculp-
tures appear to be no more than identically
formed mirrored hoops, but they come
to life during the evening, and as cigar
smoke rises. The three mirror finished, slim
pendant rings are suspended above tables in
the smoking room, revealing their red laser
lines of light after smokers are tempted to
blow their smoke through the rings.
Each of the three loops consists of twelve
red dot lasers and 24 miniature mirrors, all
mounted via specially designed ball joints
to adjust and lock each component individu-
ally. The frame is machined from solid black
anodised aluminium. The underside of the
loops are hand polished to a mirror finish,
reflecting the environment, camouflaging
the form and helping the disks to discreetly
hide within the atmosphere of the bar. La-
ser intensity pulses and ripples as the smoke
density changes, with the number of visitors
or amount of smoker interaction.

POISON ARROW
Located in the heart of Lausanne, the
Théâtre de l’Arsenic is a lively venue for
creations and encounters. As part of archi-
tectural firm Pont 12’s renovation, Sophie
Guyot’s installation, Überflux, creates
dashes of light underscoring its efferves-
cence whilst decking the Arsenic’s new
envelope with a light imprint of roadway
signs. Like a road emerging beneath the
Route de Genève to the north, her creation
melts in with the walls of the new theatre
building, underscoring the latter’s contours
and layers of building materials, before div-
ing back under the Tivoli hill to the south.
Beyond illuminating the building, Sophie
Guyot’s contribution confers a signature on
the venue, a

An introduction to the work of the India based lighting design firm Light Vision India.

SUZLON ONE EARTH, PUNE, INDIA

CLIENT: SUZLON ENERGY LIMITED (SEL)
ARCHITECT: CHRISTOPHER CHARLES BEGINNERS ARCHI-
TECT (CCBA)
Suzlon Energy Limited (SEL), Asia’s largest and the world’s
third largest wind turbine manufacturer received the
leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED)
Platinum Award for its corporate headquarters, developed
on an area of 41,000 square meters. The facility is one of
the largest green building projects in India and LVI was
signed on board as the lighting designer for the project,
working on the structure’s facade, landscape and its
public spaces. The design philosophy for the project
was to harness the play of light and shadow, while using
minimalistic fixtures that blended with the structure’s
architecture, becoming aesthetic features during the day
and providing light at night.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE, PUNE, INDIA

This 52-acre farmhouse in India was built in accordance with the
philosophy of the great Sri Lankan Architect Geoffery Bawa. The
architecture and the lighting design are both in sync with his
idea of integrating architecture and landscape along with Bawa’s
stenographic manipulation of space. The space is treated as a
hideaway for the inhabitants, while emphasising the comfort and
the functionality of the space and its lighting. LVI took a rustic
approach with the design of this project. The lighting is non-
technical and relaxed while being functional.

KOCHI BIENNALE, KERALA, INDIA

CLIENT: GOVERMENT OF KERALA
ARCHITECT: VIKAS DILAWARI
The Kochi-Muziris Biennale was the first biennale in India, an
international exhibition of contemporary art held in Kochi,
Kerala. It is also the first fully-fledged LED lighting design to
be fitted in a museum in India. The client wanted something
that was technologically advanced and minimalistic to match
the aesthetic look and feel of the space. The luminaires used
were the ones that merged into the architecture, providing
optimum visual comfort, while highlighting the artwork on
display. Since the location of art in a biennale is in constant
flux, the lighting design utilises track-based products, so
that the direction of the light can be changed as and when is
needed.

HOTEL ALOFT CESSNA BUSSINESS PARK, BENGALURU,

INDIA
CLIENT: STARWOOD & PRESTIGE GROUP
ARCHITECTURE: RSP & SEEMA SEENIVASAN
Starwood and Prestige group from Bengaluru got together to build the
first Starwood managed Aloft in India. The philosophy of Aloft is very
clear and simple and the hotel has an atmosphere that is simple, vibrant
and colourful. The lobby, which serves as the reception and waiting
area during the day, transforms into a buzzing live activity space at
night, accordingly RGBW luminaries were used to provide the dynamism
that was required. Lighting played an important role in adding a splash
of colour and patterns, created with the use of various gobos and
moving heads bring the space alive. LVI created a scheme that was in
sync with the intent of the interior design and the character of Aloft
hotels worldwide.

[lighting talk]
COULD YOU TELL ME...
… what made you become an industrial designer?
E: I really wanted to be an artist when I was young… I loved
drawings. I was always making things and fascinated by how things
worked. My Dad (facades specialist Sean Billings) did a lot of work
with the “hi-tech” architects of the time, so there were always
samples around the house and great big mock-ups in the garden.
I was thinking of Art college, and was working as a fitter in our
family’s facade plant when a friend’s father introduced me to
industrial design. It was a perfect fit. It was while studying that I
met Duncan. He hired me to work one summer.
D: I took a different route. I studied Civil Engineering but as I got
into the course I became determined to work at a more human
scale. This drew me to furniture, at first. I designed, made and
sold my own furniture pieces. I met Eoin while working on a project
for Herman Miller. We developed a unique way of working, rapidly
developing ideas and carving out a new business area. We saw that
there is a gap between building process and the manufacturing
industry. I see us, now, as a specialist industrial design team bringing
ID process to the built environment. We call it Applied Industrial
Design.
… how important lighting is to your work?
D: Lighting is a large part of our product work. We’ve been
developing solutions with lighting manufacturers for some twenty
years and, more recently, we have been actively engaged in
the huge shift to Solid State Lighting. This has brought us new
opportunities, allowing us to break away from convention and
really dive deeply into the subject of how light affects us, how it’s
specified, where it’s applied and how it’s manufactured. This shift
represents an amazing opportunity for architects and designers.
We strongly believe that design is an essential component to fully
realising the potential of this new digital light.
E: As Duncan says, much of our time is spent designing and
developing new lighting products (eg, Zumtobel Cielos LED [1] and
Trilux Aurista [2]), so you could say light is pretty important to our
work. We do, also, work on architectural projects in the urban realm
and for major transit systems like the New York City Coordinated
Street Furniture project [3], so we are often working with lighting
designers and architects on new ideas for light schemes. We can
bring a new perspective, as we can bring in the guys who are
developing the latest technology… not the sales teams but the optics
designers, the engineers and, new to the field, the physicists. We
bridge that gap between the consultant and the maker.
On a broader subject, we have gained an increasingly deep
understanding of light’s impact on human health. Wellbeing has
always been an important part of our work, and light is a powerful
tool in improving an environment.
It’s not so much a question of how important light is to our work -
it’s a question of how important it is to yours.
… why spending time thinking about and working with light is
important to you?
E: It is difficult to imagine light not being important given it has
such a profound effect on the way we experience environments. And
the more thoughtful we are in unlocking the full potential of digital
control, the more responsive our environments will become.
D: As a specialist it never ceases to amaze me how diverse the
industry is and how much opportunity there is for improvement. We
can quickly tell whether potential clients share our approach. They
This issue we talk to industrial designers
Eoin Billings and Duncan Jackson of
Billings Jackson Design.
will welcome our engagement with every facet of the team, from
the technical to the sales force, and it’s this dialogue that catalyses
the best solutions. Lighting is the means by which architecture is
articulated and the the challenge we set is to design products that
enhance lighting designers and architects work, rendering their work
without the luminaire being a statement in itself. It’s no simple task.
The light and the shadow are the heroes, not the fitting.
… about the role lighting plays in the life of a city? And through
your work, how do you contribute to it?
D: We consider the person at the centre of any experience in the
built environment so it is natural that comfort is paramount and
lighting is one of the most important drivers of creating safe,
comfortable spaces.
E: It can play a negative role though. Light is too often a pollutant
– the light levels we endure in cities are just brutal and completely
unnecessary. We need far greater consideration of how light is
integrated into the built environment. And this goes for interior
lights as well – a downside of digital tech is the proliferation of tiny
flashing LEDs on every last appliance in your home. As far as what
we contribute goes, we seek to simplify, dematerialise, refine,
integrate – just make the kit go away and concentrate on the quality
of the illumination.
… about the best and worst illuminated places you have visited?
E: Anything by James Turrell is perfect but that probably doesn’t
count. I think DHA Designs did a beautiful job of lighting the Science
Museum façade [4]. It’s the precision of it – using LEDs to illuminate
the stonework without bleeding onto the windows.
We are interested in the extreme and what you can learn. We have
recently been learning more about how NASA developed solutions to
introduce circadian rhythm lighting systems into the space station.
At the extremes you can learn much that can be fed back into our
other developments.
D: When I visited St Louis the metro has such low light levels I
couldn’t work out what station I’d got to. I got completely lost,
which was very unnerving. At the other extreme I recently took a
Virgin flight with a new, responsive lighting strategy that changes
the illumination over the course of your journey. It was very
relaxing.
… about the importance of shadows and the balance of darkness
and light?
E: James Turrell [5] expresses it best. Obviously contrast is important
as it’s so much a feature of natural light. It’s actually incredible to
me what we put up with for so long in terms of workplace lighting
– a homogenous, bland, fluorescent wash that drained faces and
spaces of any articulation. But with LED we have to be mindful of
glare and distracting multiple shadows, making it a careful balance
of performance and comfort. I think one of the most interesting
potentials of OLED is its use as a proximal light source. We can use
it in conjunction with LED to create more dynamic and characterful
environments, with light just where you need it and – even better –
artificial light that responds to both natural light levels and to your
needs at different times of the day.

WHAT’S
THE BIG
IDEA?
Susan Brady applies her personal brand
of energy and enthusiasm to bear on
mega-projects for offices, performing arts,
museums, education, and healthcare.
Vilma Barr finds out about Brady’s principle
of thinking big.

“Make no little plans; they have no magic
to stir men’s blood. Make big plans;
aim high in hope and work.”
Daniel Hudson Burnham (1846-1912)
Lighting designer Susan Brady was not in the
audience when renowned architect Daniel
Burnham made his memorable observation.
Its essence, has however, been the operat-
ing style she has established for her lighting
design consulting firm, SBLD Studio, New
York. “I really do like to be involved with
large-scale projects, with their scope and
complexity,” she says.
Now celebrating her twentieth year in
private practice, SBLD Studio (formerly
Susan Brady Lighting Design) has grown to
an 11-person staff. She and her team have
created the lighting for numerous projects
in a variety of building types around the
U.S., from lawyers’ offices to airport termi-
nal buildings.
SBLD handles 50-60 projects in an average
year. “My career preference from the start
has been to be involved in many lighting
assignments at the same time,” Brady says.
To accomplish this work ethic, she and
co-principal Attila Uysal have adhered to a
management style that spreads project de-
velopment and design responsibility among
their senior staff.
Her design training at Parsons School of
Design earned her a BFA degree in Environ-
mental Design with an emphasis on archi-
tectural design and history. “There was no
major at that time as part of the environ-
mental design program, although a lighting
course was a requirement for graduation,”
Brady recalls. She decided to pursue her
initial introduction to the field of lighting
by applying to the International Association
of Lighting Designers for a summer intern-
ship grant. “I was really thrilled to get it,”
she recalls. “Diana Mesh, who, at that time
was a lighting designer and the instructor
of my lighting class at Parsons, advised me
that the architectural lighting design firm,
Fisher Marantz, was looking to bring a new
designer on board. In less than a week, I
was interviewed for the position by Richard
Renfrew, formerly of Fisher Marantz. Within
days, they called and told me that I had
the job. I was astounded! It was the start
of my involvement in this industry, and the
whirlwind hasn’t stopped yet.”
Brady had planned to work for a couple of
years for Fisher Marantz, and then would
move on to join an architectural firm, “I’d
be able to offer an understanding of lighting
and could better contribute to the firm’s
design output. My perspective then was that
I’d be able to offer workable solutions to
the user’s lighting needs and be a better de-
signer.” As she gained more experience, she
also gained self-assurance that she could
successfully direct her career to specialise
in lighting, and eventually established Susan
Brady Lighting Design in 1994 with offices in
downtown Manhattan.
Overall responsibility at SBLD is shared by
Brady with Attila, and the pair work during
concept and project planning phases. “We
both subscribe to the practice of giving our
staff a good deal of responsibility to run
a project successfully,” Brady says. “They
assume a role of ownership of the pro-

Merrill, New York, NY; Completed: 2001.
ject, from beginning to end. We check in
regularly, with the project team, of course.
But our management objective is to give
the younger staff members the opportuni-
ty to learn how a project comes together,
is developed, and is then seen through to
completion. “
Designers at SBLD come from diverse back-
grounds, Brady indicates. “Some have archi-
tectural or interior design training, or have
previously worked for other design firms,
while others bring their theatrical lighting
experience to our practice.” Over the last
few years, many of the firm’s designers
have earned their MFA Lighting Design
degrees from Parsons The New School of
Design in New York.
In her almost 30 years as a lighting profes-
sional, Brady has witnessed a shift in client
appreciation of lighting’s contribution to
their investment in the built environment.
“They understand that there are technical
issues and energy codes to be complied
with,” she acknowledges. “Now, they also
accept that a lighting plan is more than
wattage limits, but that the light level has
to be sufficiently bright for users to perform
their tasks. In our experience, showing the
clients images of similar concepts that we
pull from many diverse sources to ex-
plain the techniques we are considering,”
she reports. “Then, with the architect’s
rendering of the spaces, we can relate the
light level calculations and demonstrate the
conceptual solution we propose,” she says.
“It’s important that we show how the light-
ing scheme will respond to the proposed
surface finishes and how the layering of
slvt_mondo.indd 1 3/14/14 4:07 PM

the light sources we suggest will contrib-
ute to the final illuminated finished space.
It’s a story that unfolds as a collaborative
approach between the architect and SBLD,”
she recounts.
Brady credits establishing a close working
relationship with the design architects
from a project’s outset as the springboard
for her team’s conceptual lighting process.
“When I started in practice, there were
only two-dimensional visualisation formats
available from which the architect and the
lighting designer could generate and share
ideas. It was an intellectual process that is
far different from how we go about organis-
ing our tasks today. Rendering from a three
dimensional perspective from the beginning
has established an accelerated creative
process for the designers and introduced a
method for the client to contribute to the
final product.” Now, she says, face-to-face
meetings bring her team together with the
architect and the interior designer to gener-
ate ideas that lay the groundwork for estab-
lishing the project’s parameters. “Then, the
initial lighting program and phased timeta-
ble are communicated to the engineers to
coordinate with my team on such aspects
as energy use, code reviews, LEED require-
ments and controls,” Brady explains.
Adherence to this schedule was important
in keeping two recently completed ma-
jor projects on track to completion: The
Smith Center for the Performing Arts in
Las Vegas, and the John Jay College for
Criminal Justice. “Every one of the lighting
fixtures for the Smith Center was custom
designed and detailed by us,” Brady states.
“I virtually invested my life in that project
for two years. It was the largest budget
we had ever worked with. Fortunately our
fixture manufacturer, Creative Light Source,
was headquartered in Las Vegas, and they
specialise in large-scale signature fixtures.

we were familiar with each other’s working
style.” The building’s overall design theme
is a sleek updated version of Art Deco,
which the architect described as an inter-
pretation of the design of nearby Hoover
Dam, opened in 1936. The dramatic trio of
fan-topped chandeliers in the main lobby,
luminous expressions of opal, textured
and art glass, establish the facility’s grand
scale.
For the 58,000m² John Jay College for Crim-
inal Justice in New York City, there was an
eight-year gap between the initial design in
2003 and completion in 2011. Brady had to
track the viability of the design as numer-
ous fixtures that were part of SBLD’s first
set of lighting specifications were discontin-
ued or revised by the manufacturers. Metal
halide and fluorescent were the primary
lamp sources on the final specifications. “If
we were designing this building today,” says
Brady, “we would certainly be using LEDs.”

SBLD’s workload currently includes a new

most successful projects are those where
the lighting is not immediately noticed.
Instead, the spaces are lively, animated and
comfortable. They just ‘feel right’,” she
concludes.

HIGHLIGHTS
Projects that you would like to change:
I miss the concepts and solutions that were value
engineered out of a project to save money. We originally
designed the Changi Airport Terminal in Singapore to
have blue accent light on the exterior wall and white
lighting to highlight the intricate interior ceiling. But
the layering, depth, and hierarchy of the architecture
that I envisioned were all lost when the blue filters
where deleted.
Projects you admire:
There are certainly many current projects that I admire
but I find I am most inspired when I travel. It takes me
out of my comfort zone, so there’s time to really absorb
my surroundings.
I love the European piazzas, especially in Italy and
France, where they provide beautiful (and often
minimal) decorative fixtures mounted to the perimeter
buildings, sometimes with an illuminated fountain
in the centre. It makes for such a warm and inviting
experience; being wrapped in the glow of the beautiful
buildings. In the U.S., we often have to provide 5FC
minimum in a public plaza. It’s so unnecessary, to turn
a beautiful outdoor space into something that feels
more like a parking lot. I wish our local authorities
had the sensitivity and restraint to understand the
perception of light and brightness rather than being
dictated by the metrics of horizontal footcandles only.
My favourite lighting experience is Paris, with its
beautiful illuminated bridges, and of course the
iconic Eiffel Tower. I just love the way the structure
of the Tower is illuminated and the strobe effect of
the sparkle light feature is exciting to watch. The
choreography of the patterns not only marks time and
place, it makes people happy. It’s that sublime nature
of lighting that I find so inspiring.
Projects you dislike:
I generally dislike designing residential projects, and
have done very few. My preference is to work directly
with another design professional, as opposed to an
owner who who does not understand design. Once
again, my love of large-scale work comes into play
here.
Lighting Hero:
Paul Marantz is a fantastic lighting designer who
taught me so much. Not necessarily the technical
aspects, but how to see the light when beginning a
new project. We discussed how light could transform
and enhance the space as well as how to respect the
project’s architectural integrity. I also respect the work
of Paul Gregory and the late Jonathan Speirs.
Notable projects:
The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, Las Vegas;
Schermerhorn Symphony Hall and the Frist Visual Arts
Center, both in Nashville; JFK Airport, New York City,
Terminal 4 Expansion.
Most memorable project:
From 2000 to 2004, we developed a master plan
for the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.
We had to survey the rooms at night, and then
document our observations. Unfortunately, the work
was never implemented because of a reduction in
the Government’s budget. It would have been very
exciting to see the transformation had the design been
completed.
Current projects:
Renovations to the Cooper Hewitt Museum, New York,
and to the U.S. Tennis Association in Forest Hills, N.Y.,
involving a new stadium and upgrades to the grounds
and facilities. Offices of the International Monetary
Fund, and for numerous law firms in Washington, D.C.
We are the lighting consultants for the Shanghai Tower
Exhibition & Special Events Center. And, for my own
firm, a new website.

050 PROJECT / RENZO PIANO PAVILION, KIMBELL ART MUSEUM, FORT WORTH, TEXAS, USA

Designed by the Renzo Piano Building Work-

shop (RPBW) and Kendall/Heaton Associates,
the highly anticipated expansion of the
Kimbell Art Museum opened late last year
to critical acclaim. Subtly echoing Louis I.
Kahn’s classic building (with lighting design
by Richard Kelly) in height, scale and gen-
eral layout, the RPBW building has a more
open, transparent character. Light, discreet
(half the footprint hidden underground), yet
with its own character, setting up a dialogue
between old and new. A highlight of the de-
sign is the top-lit east wing with its innova-
tive light-controlling and power-generating
roof system thanks to the work of Arup’s UK
office who provided the lighting consultancy
services (as well as mechanical and electri-
cal engineering).
Addressing the severe lack of space for the
museum’s exhibition and education pro-
grammes, the new building provides gallery
space for temporary exhibitions, classrooms
and studios for the museum’s education
department, a large auditorium of 299
seats, an expanded library and underground
parking.
The expansion roughly doubles the Museum’s
gallery space. The 9,400sqm colonnaded
pavilion stands as an expression of simplicity
and lightness - glass, concrete and wood -
some 60 metres to the west of Kahn’s signa-
ture cycloid-vaulted museum of 1972.
The Piano Pavilion is made up of two struc-
tures connected by two glazed passage-
ways. The front, or east wing, opens into a
glass-enclosed lobby leading to two simply
expressed galleries: here, coupled wood
beams run north and south, the floors are
oak, and the walls are perfect, long expans-
es of light-grey concrete or curtain glass.
The beams support an elegant roof structure
of steel and glass, fitted above with louvers
that control the flow of sunlight and below
with scrims that filter the light before it
enters the gallery. As spaces for viewing art,
both galleries benefit from the presence of
this natural illumination and, through their
window walls, from the changing impres-
sions of exterior weather and light. The
principal function of the south gallery is to
display temporary exhibitions; the north
gallery, to show works from the collection.
The West Wing is tucked under an accessible
green roof flanked by light wells that allow
daylight to spaces below.
Glimpsed from the porch of the Kahn Build-
ing, the Piano Pavilion’s east wing conveys
an impression of weightlessness: its recessed
glass entrance is centered between crisp
concrete walls that define the galleries to
the north and south; a wafer-thin layer of
glass hovers over the heavy steel and wood
roof system; and the overhanging coupled

wood beams appear to float above the
exterior walls.
Approaching the Piano Pavilion, a visitor is
aware of its transparency: through the glass
lobby the eye moves to the walls of the west
wing, sheltered beneath a green roof. Here,
in the second of the two structures, unfolds
the pavilion’s surprise: an auditorium with
bright-red, raked seating plunges below
ground to a stage, which itself is set against
the backdrop of a deep and broad light well
animated by shifting patterns of natural
illumination, which shine through the whole
structure towards the east.
As always in their museum designs, Piano
and Arup continues to experiment with ways
to animate and direct natural light, here
with a roof system that is notable for its in-
tegration of the wood beams as the support
for a system of north-opening aluminum lou-
vers and solar cells, mounted above fritted
glass and stretched, silk-like scrims.
“The Kahn building is famous for its natural
light,” Piano said. “But that was a natural
lighting system designed in the late ’60s and
’70s. Technologies have advanced consid-
erably since then. We needed to capitalise
on the new technologies and make a design
that is more flexible and responsive to the
issues of today, like sustainability.”

from the main entrance to the underground
garage, and the other descending from
the upper level to the lower auditorium
entrance.
Arup developed and designed bespoke sys-
tems to conserve and display the art in the
most appropriate environmental conditions,
whilst seeking to reduce carbon emissions.
The roof system above the southeast and
northeast gallery and lobby spaces was key
to this. A system of motorised photovoltaic
louvre elements, constructed from glass
and aluminium, generate enough power
to offset up to 70 per cent of the carbon
emissions relating to the gallery lighting and
environmental control systems. The louvres
filter daylight to the galleries below and
can be adjusted to control daylight levels.
This highly integrated design performs three
functions in a single element, controlling
daylight, excluding direct sunlight and gen-
erating power.
“Our collaboration with Renzo began in
spring 2007, shortly after he accepted the
challenge set by the Kimbell Trustees to con-
struct the extension,” states Arfon Davies,
Associate Director of Lighting at Arup.

Laser Blade revolutionises the concept of downlighters,
as it is an invisible line that creates a circular light emission.
The product, with miniaturised innovative optics and high
visual comfort, uses the physical principles of point source light
to generate a circular emission. Laser Blade is an ideal choice
for minimalist applications, as glare is completely eradicated.
Innovative in its simplicity, Laser Blade is the result
of an integrated development process from different
disciplines:light science, technology, design and culture.
This versatile product is available in trim and trimless bodies
and the product family has also been extended to include
wall washer, adjustableand recessed system versions.

galleries were to be daylit, and it was
immediately clear that we had a huge
challenge responding to what many refer to
as the pinnacle of daylight design, sitting
just 200 feet away from our project. It was
the presence of the Kahn building and its
magical use of daylight that formed the first
of three ingredients that informed our early
daylight design thoughts and discussions.”
The second ingredient was the large body
of work they had already created together,
especially the museum projects in Texas (the
Menil Collection and Cy Twombly Pavilion in
Houston and the Nasher Sculpture Centre
in Dallas). The brief from Piano to the team
was to be inspired by but not restricted
by their past work: the solution for the
Kimbell project was to be a new chapter and
innovation in their 25 year journey of design
together.
The third ingredient was the desire to
generate a project that minimised carbon
emissions and energy consumption. Early
studies with the wider Arup design team
clearly identified daylight as a key driver
to achieving carbon and energy reduction
targets.
It was the first ingredient that was focused
on initially. What was it about daylighting
at the Kimbell that made it so special to so
many people? Arup undertook a thorough
study and assessment of daylight conditions
at the Kahn to understand the quantity and
distribution of daylight within the galleries.
Interior illuminance levels were logged and
High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging was used
to capture daylight conditions at different
times of the day, and under different sky
conditions.
It quickly became apparent that the quan-
tity of daylight within the Kahn galleries
was much lower than was expected; the
presence of artificial light in the space is
much more. Further study and discussion
with the museum also showed that there
was a preference for a mix of light, the use
of both electric light and daylight at all
times, something that low levels of daylight
can accommodate.
“The museum was keen to maintain this
ability to have a mix of light on objects,
with electric lighting being the primary
source of light on objects,” recalls Davies.
These early discussions with the museum

TRIPLE GLAZING
Arup used a three-pronged approach to the control of the Pavilion’s daylighting system.
The need to provide control of daylight levels
required the use of a moving, adaptable element in
the daylight system. Initial ideas focused on interior
motorised louver elements, similar to those used in
past projects at the Beyeler and Cy Twombly. This
resulted in a system with three layers:
1, EXTERIOR MOTORISED PV LOUVERS
This single layer combines four functions in one
layer:
- Keeps sunlight out of the gallery space;
- Keeps sunlight off the glass surface, providing
shading and reducing heat gain;
- Regulation of daylight levels by adjusting rotation
angle of louvers;
- PV energy generation.
The 2,322 extruded aluminium louvers each
contains 13 PV cells. 30,186 PV cells in total and
aare organised into panels, 6 louvers per panel.
One panel is 5’ x 10’. Each individual panel can be
individually controlled from the others, and can be
organised and grouped together to provide larger
areas of dedicated control e.g. a 40’ x 40’ gallery
space with different daylight conditions to the
remainder of the gallery.
The louvers have a number of pre-set positions:
- 0 degrees, fully closed;
- 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20 & 30 degrees open;
- Hail mode – louvers fully rotated with PV facing
skylight glass. This has a dual purpose, to protect
the PV cells during hail storms (which can produce
hail the size of golf balls), and primarily to protect
the skylight glass below.
The louvers are controlled by a custom designed
web interface, which automatically position them
based on timeclock events moving twice a day, once
when the museum opens to a pre-set position, and
once to a fully closed position once the museum is
closed.
The louvers are not actively controlled. They
do not try and respond to changing daylight
conditions based on photocell measurements. This
is intentional as it was desired to keep the variability
of daylight, in a similar way to what is experienced in
055
the Kahn building.
The museum have a lookup table, which allows them
on a month by month basis to select the appropriate
louver open angle when the museum is open, and
based on the exhibition requirements.
2, CURVED DOUBLE GLAZED SKYLIGHT GLASS
Krypton-filled with PVB laminations to filter out
harmful UV radiation. The glass has a low-e coating
on surface 2, an acid etch on surface 3, and a
simulated acid etch frit on surface 6. The etching
treatments were extensively tested to provide
some diffusion, whilst maintaining some view of the
louvers above.
3, FABRIC SCRIM PANELS
Panels span the entire 40m length of the gallery
space, provide final diffusion of light. The material is
a custom woven fabric material consisting of 100%
Trevira CS yarn, selected to provide transparency to
allow visitors to read the volume above the fabric
ceiling.

Extensive testing by Arup revealed that there

was not as much daylighting in the existing Kahn
building as first thought, relying on a mix of natural
and electric light.

also showed that there was a keen interest
in exploring the potential to make the new
building as ‘low carbon’ as possible. Electric
lighting is a major source of carbon emis-
sions in most museum buildings. Even with
the significant potential of LED light sourc-
es, it was found that using daylight as the
primary source of light within the galleries
for most museum hours, with a minimum
electric lighting at these times, would be a
major step in reducing the carbon footprint
for the new building.
A low carbon strategy encourages the use of
daylight over electric light, which leads to a
regime where, for much of the year, the art
is displayed under natural light alone, and
electric light is used only in the winter and
towards the end of the day when daylight
levels fall.
This approach was somewhat different to
the existing Kahn building, with relatively
low levels of daylight and electric light used
during all museum open hours. The museum
were keen to maintain the ability to recre-
ate this mix of light – their brief was “The
new building should likewise seek to set a
new standard in the sensitive use of natural
and artificial light in a way that enhances
the appreciation of both architecture and
art”. At the same time the museum were
keen to be as efficient and as low carbon as
possible, and to create an exhibition space
that can be flexible and adapt its lighting
conditions based on exhibition needs. The
final brief for the gallery daylight systems
was:
• To provide a condition where daylight is
the primary source of light for the display
of art
• To have the ability to tune daylight trans-
mission, and therefore change the mix of
daylight and electric light within the gallery.
• To be able to reduce daylight levels within
the gallery to allow the display of sensitive
objects requiring 50 lux or less.
• To be able to reduce daylight into the
galleries to a minimum when the museum is
closed.
To this end, supplementary electric lighting
has been delicately combined with daylight
within the skylight galleries, ensuring that
the correct balance of daylight and electric
light can be achieved for all types of art
exhibition. All lighting within the gallery

WHAT’S NEW
BALTIMORE?
The John and Frances Angelos Law Centre is a new Baltimore
landmark. MCLA Architectural Lighting Design produced a
design that matched the building’s progressive vision.
 061

Behnisch Architeken and Ayers Saint Gross put

sustainability at the heart of the Frances Angelos
Law Centre. The design also put daylight to good
use in the building’s design.

The new, 12-storey John and Frances

Angelos Law Center at the University of
Baltimore, completed in April 2013, was
conceived as a transformative, architectural
landmark for the campus and the City of
Baltimore. Behnisch Architeken, in part-
nership with Ayers Saint Gross, developed a
concept for the site that utilised the use of
form, volume and materials to express the
building’s functions. The project also made
a commitment to sustainable solutions,
giving primacy to daylight throughout the
building.
Working closely with the architects, MCLA
Architectural Lighting Design understood
and embraced the progressive nature of the
project. When the design process began
in 2008, MCLA pursued a solution that
included a mix of sources including fluores-
cent, metal halide and LED. However with
rapid advancements in LED technology and
fixture design, it quickly became clear that
LEDs would provide not only a more energy

efficient solution but also offered new
opportunities for creative lighting design
that would support and enhance the bold
architecture.
The building’s architecture is shaped by
three interlocking L-shaped volumes, which
articulate the functions of the building’s
classrooms, offices, legal clinic, and the
law library. At the heart of the building is
a narrow, sky lit atrium that connects the
three volumes together. In addition to link-
ing the central program spaces, the atrium
also encloses the lobby, two coffee bars
and a handful of informal work and meeting
spaces.
Beyond its connective value, the atrium is
critical to the technical performance of the
building. Daylight spills into the space from
exterior and interior wall glazing, bright-
ening the shallow floor plates to maximize
daylight and visual access to daylight for
interior workspaces. At the same time, it
creates a transparent and communicative
interior, visually linking public space, teach-
ing space, and administrative space in an
open environment.
Glazed office partitions allow daylight to
enter from exterior walls through the office
and into the interior corridors and shared
spaces, reducing the need for artificial
lighting. The glazed classroom partitions
create visual continuity between the
teaching spaces and the public areas, while
the activity of the students and the general
hubbub of the faculty acts to bring the
atrium to life.
Although a great asset, the abundant day-
light required some visual balance. Given
the higher illumination level along the
perimeter, careful attention was focused
on the internal areas, which do not benefit
as much from the daylight. A slightly higher

interior areas to appear as bright as the

of LEDs allowed for greater creativity in the
design of the luminaires.
Although the owner’s ambitious goal was
100 per cent LED usage throughout the
building, the lighting design ultimately
incorporated LED in 95 per cent of the
building’s spaces including the central lobby
atrium, terraced study spaces, 300-seat
moot court room, law clinic, classrooms,
32,000sqf library and the auditorium.
In consideration of the State of Maryland’s
requirement for a competitive bidding pro-
cess and the use of evolving LED technology
on the project, MCLA developed perfor-
mance-based specifications for all lighting
including a custom, disc-shaped luminaire
with a ceiling mount for use throughout the
building. A 1,640-lumen fixture, with a col-

the project has recently been awarded.

This efficient, innovative lighting solution
creates a warm, inviting evening environ-
ment for the students and the faculty as
a whole. Because the school is still active
after sunset, the artificial light becomes a
more prominent feature. For the atrium,
the building’s signature space, Behnisch
Architeken collaborated with Zumtobel on
a multi-panel chandelier, which forms the
centrepiece of the lighting design. MCLA
further refined the configuration, lumen
output, orientation and mounting height for
each fixture. The 334mm x 434mm acrylic
panels are translucent from most viewing
angles and transparent when viewed direct-
ly. Suspended by steel cables the chande-
liers help to create a sense of scale without
obstructing views or daylight. Descending
into the atrium, the fixtures serve as
impressive visual features and provide the
perception of a brighter environment.
To provide flexibility and minimize energy
usage, a central dimming system manages
the lighting. The central control integrates
with an array of photosensors and occupan-
cy sensors throughout the building. When

THE DÉFENSE
OF PARIS
La Défense is the financial centre of Paris and sits at the western end of the Axe
historique, a line of monuments that leads from the Louvre through the Arc de
Triomphe to the centrepiece of the area L’Arche de la Defense. Concepto Lighting
Design developed a lighting scheme for the refurbishment of the nearby Eqho Tower,
ensuring the structure continued to live up to its lusty neighbours.
 071

Left Patterns of multi-coloured reflections can be seen on the floor as the light pours into the atrium space. Above The ERCO Beamer projectors are visible casting
light on the Dichroic glass, which reflects sunlight prompting coloured light to pass into the space, a fine example of the emphasis this lighting scheme puts on the
importance of natural light.

Every major world city, as the times changed
and commerce fully replaced conflict as the
arbiter of power on the continent, needed a
brash and impressive central business district,
full of glass skyscrapers and architecture
that spoke of power and wealth. New York
never had a problem with this as business has
always grown hand in hand with the city. The
transformation of London’s Square Mile was
made easier by the destruction wrought by
Hitler’s bombs during the Second World War,
the city needed to be re-made and most sites
were fair game for redevelopment, as long as
new structures were respectful towards the
iconic talisman of the area, St Paul’s Cathedral.
In Paris the choice of site for a financial centre
was some-what tougher, by a minor-miracle
the city had survived the war intact and the
beautiful Haussmann boulevards were hardly
going to give way to the march of commerce.
So the city authorities had to look outwards,
towards the old city limits and La Défense, an
area named after a statue marking the heroic
defense of Paris during the Franco-Prussian war.
Starting in the late 1950s the towers of La
Défense began to rise out of farmland at the
very edge of the city’s 20 arrondesments.
The area really began to come into its own
during the presidency of François Mitterrand,
a man who had set his mind on leaving an
architectural legacy on the city to match the
sweeping reorganisation of Paris seen during
the reigns of Napoleon III and Louis XIV. He
didn’t come anywhere close to matching
their achievements, but he did leave a series
of modern Parisian monuments including
the Louvre Pyramid and the Opéra Bastille.
One of these ‘Grands Projects’ as they were
nicknamed was the Grande Arche de La
Défense, a great white structure that sits in
the middle of La Défense echoing the Arc
de Triomphe. It was built as a monument to
072 PROJECT / TOUR EQHO, LA DÉFENSE, PARIS, FRANCE
humanitarian ideals, rather than to military
victories like its brother on the Champs-Elysées
and represents perfectly the overall feel of La
Défense as a light and airy space, free of the
bombast and overt patriotism of central Paris,
a secular, relaxed space, with sharp modern
architecture created to exude, and to make,
money.
In 1988, the middle years of the Mitterrand
presidency, the Descartes Tower was built.
Later renamed the Eqho Tower, the 130-metre
high-rise echoes the architectural style of the
Grande Arche de La Défense, a simple, sleek
design that, nevertheless, manages to make a
grand statement.
The building was fully refurbished in 2011
and this included a complete restructuring of
the building’s lobby in order to allow for the
entry of natural light and to open the space
up visually to the bridge-type structure that
supports the tower. A renewal of the building’s
façades was also proposed.

were approached to work on a daytime and
nocturnal lighting scheme for the lobby.
In addition to wide doorways out into the
impressive urban environment that surrounds
the structure, the lobby of the Eqho Tower
has a large glass roof twelve metres above
floor level. It is suffused in natural light, which
changes the space as the days and seasons
alter.
At certain times of the year, and depending on
the path of the sun, sunbeams shine into the
lobby beneath the bridge, projecting onto the

walls and floor the shadowy silhouetted spans
of the metal meshlike structure above.
To breathe life into the space, highlighting
the lobby’s size while revealing the sun and
the changing seasons, a glass installation,
consisting of coloured tinted dichroic glass was
integrated directly into the laminated panels
in the glass roof and reflective panels made of
mirror-polished stainless steel were suspended
vertically.
Dichroic glass has the ability to colour rays of
light passing through it, changing the colour
within a predefined range, in this case, from
blue-green to purple, depending on the
variations in the angle of incidental sunbeams.
Dichroic glass also reflects sunbeams by
colouring them differently from the rays being
transmitted.
Because of this installation the sun’s rays are
projected onto the floor and the white walls of
the lobby, generating spots of colour that slowly
move and change tone throughout the day.
Mirrored panels have also been hung vertically
within the space to allow the coloured rays to

The chromatic density of the various panels of
coloured glass used in the atrium is increased
in the southern portion of the glass roof, in
order to reduce the light and heat caused by
the sun during the often-hot Paris summer. In
the winter during the beginning and the end
of the day, the sun strikes the building at an
acute angle, so the space is flooded with light
from the large vertical clear glass walls. Due

to these features the lobby has become a light
trap offering occupants and visitors interesting,
moving and changing images during the day
and throughout the year.
At night the entire lobby is lit by ERCO Beamer
projectors equipped with various optics and
150W ceramic metal halide lamps from Thorn,
which have been mounted above the glass roof
on the exterior of the building, along a metal
duckboard that was installed to enable easy
maintenance work.
This lighting system makes it possible to use
the metallic mesh like a huge stage grid,
concealing the lighting fixtures from view. The
beams of light shine vertically downwards, into
the lobby, lighting the floor of the ground floor,
as well as the openings into the basement, the
stairs and the walls.
The average illuminance in the lobby is 150 lux,
with additional light picking out certain areas
or meeting specific uses when necessary.
The coloured glass panels that make up the
building’s façade play an active role in the
nocturnal lighting system. The beams of light
form an irregular pattern as the translucent
panels take on colour while passing through
the glass roof. These hues combine creating
delicate pastel shades.
In the centre of the lobby two vertical panels
are flanked by two lines of Philips Color

fixtures. The vertical lines are brought to life
by colour variations in complementary shades,

080 PROJECT / PAWTUCKET RIVER BRIDGE, RHODE ISLAND, USA

PAWTUCKET
CROSSING
The story of the Pawtucket River Bridge offers a cross section view of American
history, from the Industrial Revolution to the Obama administration. When the
bridge’s latest incarnation was constructed, Abernathy Lighting Design made sure
the structure’s lighting scheme matched its biography.

Pics: Christopher Abernathy and Matthew Merola

 081

The Art Deco features on the Pawtucket River Bridge echo the
design of Pawtucket City Hall. LED Bridge Light fixtures (puck lights)
from Forum and colour changing LEDs from Beghelli have been
used on the span of the structure, they are able to change colour,
meaning the bridge’s look can reflect the time of year.

The Pawtucket River Bridge in Rhode Island
makes up a critical chunk of Interstate 95,
the road that carries travellers between
Boston and the Island’s most populous city,
Providence. The crossing, over the Pawtuck-
et River in the city of Pawtucket, has a long
history, the very name of the area originat-
ing from the term Native American’s gave
to the place where a trail crosses a river.
During the 19th century the bridge became
a commercial crossing when America’s bur-
geoning Industrial Revolution began to gain
strength in the area and by the mid-twen-
tieth century Interstate 95 had become the
most travelled highway in the nation.
In many ways the bridge in its different
forms presents a good picture of the polit-
ical history of the United States. The origi-
nal bridge was built in 1958, during a time
when President Eisenhower was investing
in the nation’s infrastructure. The original
art deco style of the bridge was created
to reflect the Pawtucket City Hall, itself
built in 1933, during another public works
programme, created by Franklin Roosevelt
to ease the unemployed back into work in
the wake of the Great Depression.
On the eve of another financial crisis, the
Great Recession of 2008, the 1958 bridge
was declared unsafe. Construction on a
replacement began in 2010 at a time when
another President, Barack Obama, was once
again investing in the American infrastruc-
ture, this time as part of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
It has been estimated by the Rhode Island
Department of Transportation that 162,000
vehicles travel across the Pawtucket River
Bridge every day, but the bridge is more
than a crucial travel link, it has also, since
its creation, acted as an iconic talisman for
the city of Pawtucket and the replacement
had to echo this sentiment. From hand
hewn covered bridges to steel and con-
crete marvels, Rhode Islanders have long
expressed pride in bridges and regard them
as iconic structures.
The defective Route 95 overpass created an
opportunity to demonstrate that State and
Federal wings of government could coop-
erate, not always an easy task as American
politics continues to polarize. Not only did
the differing tiers of government have to
work together, but they also had to work in
concert with a design team eager to pres-
ent an engaging creative vision to revitalize
the city’s historic gateway.
The design challenge was not to create a

The Pawtucket River Bridge makes up a crucial

part of Interstate 95, the road link between Boston
and Providence in Rhode Island. Accent spotlights
from Lumenton were used on the bridge, as well as
uplighting from Kim lighting and ERCO.

extraordinary events that have for centuries
converged on that very spot.
The project entailed replacing three
separate structures with a bridge to carry
I-95 Northbound; a bridge to carry I-95
Southbound; and a bridge for the on and off
ramps to George and School Streets.
Inspiration for the new bridge’s Art Deco
design, once again, just as it did in 1958,
came from other structures in Pawtucket
built during the Great Depression, such as
City Hall, McCoy Stadium and Shea High
School.
Inspiration for the new bridge’s Art Deco
design, once again, just as it did in 1958,
came from other structures in Pawtucket
built during the Great Depression, such as
City Hall, McCoy Stadium and Shea High
School. The new bridge’s four pillars feature
representations of Art Deco wings, bringing
to mind the eagles chiselled atop the tower
at City Hall.
The lighting sceme for the bridge was
developed by Abernathy Lighting Design of
North Providence and is reliant on LED.
The lighting design took inspiration from
Pawtucket history, particularly the city’s
role as cradle to the American Industrial
Revolution. With a strong daytime image
due to strong design, the bridge’s night
time presence was created by emphasising
simple lines and by elevating accents.
One of the key features of the bridge is
its Art Deco styled pylon sculptures. The
task of lighting these was made simpler
due to the use of a full mock up, set up
outside Pawtucket City Hall, which allowed
a detailed lighting plan to be put togeth-
er, while the bridge itself was still under

was provided by fixtures from Erco and
Kim Lighting, while Lumenton spotlighting
fixtures were used on the bridge span.
At night, these pucks, in concert with the
pylon sculptures and the fixtures installed
on the bridge span are able to change
colour, giving the structure a night time

Die Pawtucket River Bridge besteht aus vier Pfeilern,
die Darstellungen von Art Deco-Flügeln aufweisen.
Vom Fluss aus gesehen ähnelt die Brücke aus metal-
lisiertem Stahl, die nachts mit bunten LED-Lichtern
beleuchtet wird, einem eleganten, silbernen Bogen
über dem Pawtucket-Fluss. Abernathy Lighting De-
sign war für das Projekt verantwortlich. Das Projekt
kostet 80 Millionen $ und wurde 2013 fertig gestellt.
Die Herausforderung des Designs bestand nicht darin,
eine Verbindung über einen relativ engen Wasser-
weg in Neuengland zu schaffen, sondern eine Reihe
außergewöhnlicher Events zu vermitteln, die seit
Jahrhunderten an dem Platz konvergieren, an dem
die Brücke jetzt steht. Der Designprozess war stark
auf den Gemeinschaftsbeitrag ausgerichtet. Die end-
gültige Struktur bezieht sich auf architektonische Art
Deco-Designs, die in lokalen Gebäuden zu finden sind
und bringt Stärke und Permanenz in den einfachen
Linien und Winkeln seiner offenen Bogenbrückenstruk-
tur zum Ausdruck. Von handgebogenen überdachten
Brücken bis Stahl- und Betonwundern verfügen die
Rhode Islanders über einen langjährigen Stolz für
Brücken und betrachten sie als ikonische Bauwerke.

Il ponte sul fiume Pawtucket è composto da quattro
pilastri che mettono in risalto le rappresentazioni di
ali Art Deco. Visto dal fiume, il ponte, realizzato in ac-
ciaio metallizzato e illuminato di notte da LED colorati,
assomiglia ad un grazioso arco argenteo posizionato
sul fiume Pawtucket. Il progetto, che è costato 80
milioni di dollari ed è stato completato nel 2013, è
stato affidato ad Abernathy Lighting Design. La sfida
progettuale non era quella di creare un collegamento
su un relativamente ristretto corso d’acqua del New
England, ma quella di trasmettere la serie di eventi
straordinari che per secoli sono confluiti proprio
nel punto in cui si trova il ponte oggi. Il processo di
progettazione è molto concentrato sul contributo co-
munitario. La struttura finale fa riferimento agli stili
architettonici Art Deco presenti negli edifici del posto
ed esprime forza e stabilità nelle linee semplici e negli
angoli della sua struttura a ponte ad arco reticolato.
Dai ponti coperti tagliati a mano alle meraviglie in
acciaio e cemento, gli abitanti di Rhode Island hanno
da tempo espresso orgoglio per i ponti e li considerano
come strutture iconiche.
ESPAÑOL
El Puente de Pawtucket está compuesto de cuatro
pilares, que representan las alas de Art Deco. Visto
desde el río, el puente, fabricado con acero metalizado

parece a un elegante arco plateado sobre el río Paw-
tucket. Abernathy Lighting Design estuvo a cargo del
proyecto. El mismo costó 80 millones de dólares y se
finalizó en 2013. El desafío del diseño no fue el de
crear una unión sobre un relativamente angosto ca-
nal de Nueva Inglaterra sino el de expresar la serie de
eventos extraordinarios que por siglos convergieron en
el mismo lugar donde hoy se levanta el puente. El pro-
ceso de diseño se focalizó mucho en la contribución de
la comunidad. La estructura final hace referencia a los
diseños arquitectónicos de Art Deco que se encuentran
en los edificios locales y expresa fuerza y permanencia
en las líneas simples y en los ángulos de su estructura
de arco de enjuta abierta. Desde los puentes tallados
a mano hasta las maravillas en acero y concreto, los
nativos de Rhode Island han expresado su orgullo
durante mucho tiempo a través de los puentes y los

 087

DESERT ROSE
Hakkasan Las Vegas, opened in April 2013, is the latest
addition to the Hakkasan portfolio and its largest and most
ambitious venture to date. Developed with partners Angel
Management Group (AMG), Hakkasan Las Vegas is a
bold evolution of the global restaurant brand into an all-
encompassing nightlife experience. Isometrix was responsible
for the architectural lighting design.
088 PROJECT / HAKKASAN, LAS VEGAS, USA
Covering over 80,000-sq ft (7,260sqm)
spread over five floors the site incorporates
a large restaurant with mezzanine private
dining area, an intimate after-dinner lounge
bar (the Ling Ling Lounge) and the Ling Ling
Club, and a two-storey main nightclub on
the fourth and fifth floors.
The scale and scope of the development,
built within the iconic MGM Grand Hotel &
Casino complex, presented an interesting
challenge for Isometrix Lighting + Design,
whose scheme was shortlisted for a 2014 UK
Lighting Design Award.
“Having worked with Hakkasan for many
years on a number of restaurants all over
the world, Isometrix has developed an un-
derstanding of the brand’s unique ethos and
aesthetic style. However, from the outset,
it was apparent to the whole team that this
particular location was going to be very
special, and that it would require a step up
in gear,” says Isometrix lighting designer
Althea de Ste. Croix.
“The scale of the project and its location
in ‘larger than life’ Las Vegas demanded a
careful and considered approach. A balance
needed to be struck between recreating
the signature intimate experience familiar
to regular visitors of Hakkasan restaurants
worldwide and delivering a scheme that
could stand out among the bright lights and
glitzy, varied attractions of Las Vegas,” she
adds.
Located on the first level is the main dining
area, separated by latticed woodwork
known as the ‘Cage’ to create intimate din-
ing spaces that also share the atmosphere
of the dining area as a whole. The restau-
rant has at its heart what Hakkasan de-
scribes as ‘the kitchen, a dramatic culinary
theatre helmed by Michelin-starred Chef
Ho Chee Boon and his team of highly skilled
wok and dim sum chefs’. The lighting is an
integral part of the relaxed but upscale
RCL’s DR8 LED spotlights are used in the triple
height ceiling of the nightclub on levels 4 and
5. The luminaires can be adjusted in pan and tilt
using RCL’s patented ‘Select & Direct’ system,
which uses a simple handheld controller to select
individual lights and focus them from floor level.
‘dining experience’.
As the evening progresses guests move
upstairs to the third level 10,000-sq foot
(930sqm) Ling Ling Club and the Ling Ling
Lounge, a separate, more intimate environ-
ment.
On the fourth level, the main nightclub
has oversized VIP booths that surround the
dance floor whose DJ space has a custom DJ
booth and suspended performance area, all
enveloped with floor-to-ceiling LED screens.
The pavilion, with its indoors oriental
garden, operates either as an extension
of the main nightclub or in its own right.
It is equipped with its own DJ booth, the
Garden Bar, an amphitheatre-style setting
and a two-storey water feature with lifelike
foliage.
Elevated above the main nightclub is the
mezzanine on the fifth level, which provides
a more private, VIP environment while still
giving access to the energy of the dance

The lighting design from Isometrix started in the restaurant with Hakkasan’s signature carved partition screens cut from dark stained oak with thick white marble
inlays. The panels are lit from theatrical lighting bars suspended above the screens.

floor. It can accommodate large groups in
semi-private rooms with their own custo-
misable screens, coolers, sound control and
mixology supplies.
The design of the lighting scheme started
in the restaurant with Hakkasan’s signature
carved partition screens cut from dark
stained oak with thick white marble inlays.
With a ceiling height of 4.3m, the full-
height screens have a monumental quality.
The open fretwork of the carved panels
provides privacy within the booths while
also allowing glimpses out. These panels are
lit from theatrical lighting bars suspended
above the screens, using AR111 spotlights
from Lighting Services Incorporated. The
spotlights were adapted by LSI to mount on
to the theatrical bar via a G-clamp fixing,
with the transformer positioned between
the luminaire yoke and the clamp. This ena-
bled great flexibility on site during focusing,
and allowed Isometrix to move, add or
remove fittings where required, to provide
the best lit effect on the wood and marble.
At irregular intervals within the screen,
both at low level and up high, Isometrix
placed Hakkasan’s signature glass votive
holders, which are lit from beneath by small
recessed LED uplights from DGA Lighting It-
aly. These diminutive LED fixtures are small
enough to conceal beneath the delicate
glass vessels but powerful enough to provide
a strong lit effect.
Isometrix hung a mixture of small metal
pendants, large rectangular box pendants
and large white glass pendants low over the
tables to provide accent lighting. It lit the
waiter stations positioned throughout the
space with linear LED by Acolyte, in very
warm white 2400K to replicate the warm
colour of a carbon filament lamp dimmed to
a low level.
At the bar and entrance, Isometrix decided
to break away from backlighting Hakkasan’s
blue glass with white light and instead
opted for a blue LED tape from Luminii USA
to create a deep, very saturated colour
which it felt was more befitting a Las Vegas
environment. This is complemented by dra-
matic blue accent lighting to the exposed
concrete interior walls of the restaurant,
provided by Source 4 LED Lustre projectors
positioned high within the ceiling space.
A signature feature in Hakkasan restau-
rants is the combination of water effect
projectors on natural slate or tessellated
cut marble. At Hakkasan Las Vegas, this

was provided by Rosco X Effects projectors.
“These projectors took a fair amount of
tweaking to get the water effect looking
right,” explains de Ste. Croix, “but once
we were happy with one it was simple to
match the effects on the rest and the effect
of the multiple projectors working together
was virtually seamless. The water effect
coupled with the texture of the stone wall
has a dynamic cascading effect.”
Moving upstairs, Isometrix lit the public
staircases using the wall-recessed ISL ALED
floor washer from Lucifer Lighting. “To
create a more theatrical feel these were
gelled with a red colour filter,” says de
Ste. Croix. “This worked very well with the
colour palate of grey natural stone and lent
the stair space a very moody, mysterious at-
mosphere.” This red theme follows through
into the Level 2 lobby, where tall Chinese
red-lacquered wall carvings are lit with
LiteLab ceiling-recessed gimbal downlights
fitted with a red gel to add vibrancy and
intensity.
In the intimate Ling Ling Lounge, the palate
of black and white finishes is pepped up
with red gel filters fitted within recessed
downlights, washing the walls. The deco-
rative screens to the centre of the space
are lit with white light, throwing them into
sharp contrast against the red backdrop.
At the bar, a bright yellow glass counter is
backlit with a strong white LED tape from
Luminii.
In the club areas, a brief from the club
management team, AMG, was to provide
flexible, focused lighting over the pri-
vate booths to allow guests to read drinks
menus. In the Level 3 club this lighting is
provided by AR111 spotlights by LSI.
“However,” says de Ste. Croix, “in the
Levels 4 and 5 club the immense ceiling
height created a challenge. We needed a
high-output spotlight that would provide a
narrow beam capable of pin-spotting the
tables from the almost triple-height ceiling
and that could also be easily focused. In
addition to this, AMG specified that each
light be individually controllable to allow
independent dimming control of each light
when required.”
The solution was provided by Remote
Controlled lighting. RCL’s DR8 LED spotlights
create lighting in the nightclub booths that
is highly versatile, providing mood light-
ing for guests and carefully directed task
lighting when the bill arrives. The lumi-
naires can be adjusted in pan and tilt using
RCL’s patented ‘Select & Direct’ system,
which uses a simple handheld controller to
select individual lights and focus them from
floor level. In addition, staff can adjust
the dimming of the DR8s via DMX to create
lighting zones for dining parties or group
events. RCL supplied a total of 65, DR8 LED
spotlights with a warm colour temperature
of 2700K spread throughout the nightclub
area.
“We have used RCL’s luminaires before in
areas that are inaccessible and they were
ideal for the triple-height ceilings at Hak-
kasan, Las Vegas, where we needed to light
individual booths,” says de Ste. Croix. “One
of the advantages of the RCL equipment is
that it is very quick to set up,” she adds.
“Whilst fulfilling the brief, RCL’s lights also
have the advantage of being incredibly easy
to focus from the ground, eliminating the
need for access equipment. The remote
control also makes them a favourite of con-
tractors on site. We did not struggle to find
volunteers to assist in focusing them!”

Hakkasan Las Vegas, inaugurato nell’ aprile 2013,
è l’ultima aggiunta al portfolio Hakkasan ed è la
sua più grande e ambiziosa impresa fino ad oggi.
Sviluppato con i partner Angel Management Group
(AMG), Hakkasan Las Vegas è un’audace evoluz-
ione del brand di ristoranti a livello mondiale in
un’ esperienza di vita notturna onnicomprensiva.
La scala e la portata dell’ampliamento, costruito
all’interno del pittoresco complesso MGM Grand
Hotel & Casino, ha presentato una sfida interes-
sante per Isometrix Lighting + Design. Isometrix si
era occupato dell’illuminazione architetturale per
tutta la discoteca e il ristorante, sebbene l’ illu-
minazione teatrale sia stata progettata e fornita
dall’irlandese Audiotek. Il progetto del sistema di
illuminazione ha preso inizio nel ristorante con la
firma di Hakkasan incisa sui separé e scolpita su
quercia scura con spessi intarsi di marmo bianco.
A intervalli irregolari, all’interno dei separé, sia in
basso che in alto, Isometrix ha messo i votivi por-

PRIDE OF LONDON
Knightsbridge is the true centre of regal London. Topped and tailed by Kensington Palace
and Harrods, with a collection of multi-million pound properties in the middle, the area is
prime city real-estate. GIA Equation has developed a scheme that ensured one of London’s
crown jewels sparkled a little brighter.

hopes the area in the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea in London, will
become one of the most prominent retail
assets in London. The site is in a prime spot,
the 3.5 acre estate is flanked by a number
of high-end stores, including Harrods and
Harvey Nichols and is not far from Kens-
ington Palace, the official residence of the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The total length of the lit façades is in
excess of 500m, making it the largest
installation of its kind in the UK and, when
considered in full, provides a stunning lit
panorama.
The exterior lighting project originally
started in the autumn of 2011 when Chels-
field appointed GIA Equation to produce a
façade lighting concept that would create a
new and unique character for the area.
The Knightsbridge Estate building complex
is a puzzle of different building styles and
periods, each hosting retail activities on
the ground floor, which are in themselves
characterized by a considerable variety of
styles.
There are a variety of stone sizes and
shapes on the façade itself, as well as a
cloud of light spill from the windows and
branding labels across the site. Overall a
consistency and visual continuity of lighting
was painfully absent.
The new illuminated façades required a
character of their own, proclaiming the
eye-catching nature of the property and
its distinct identity, in comparison to the
equally strong images of Harvey Nichols,
Harrods and the nearby Mandarin Orien-
tal. To achieve this a lighting design was
required that was quite distinct from any
other exterior lighting scheme, at least in
the vicinity of the site.
Elegance was certainly a watchword during
the development of the scheme. Kensington
and Chelsea is a particularly elegant area of
the city and elegance is socially linked with
minimalism and sophistication.
Higher end retail spaces tend to follow
more minimal lines and in order to achieve
an elegant result on the building façade, a
composition of white light tones was pro-
posed for the project, as well as a simple
sophisticated visual language that compli-
mented the surface finishes and colours.
For example it was required that a white
light range was focused onto the stone
façades, while golden whites were used on
brick surfaces.
The early brief was to provide a lighting

scheme that unified the asset above the
varied retail outlets in order to provide a
powerful yet unified and refined lit façade.
The lighting was to be of the highest quali-
ty, not just from the design aspect, but also
in the case of the lighting equipment and
installation in order to ensure longevity and
ease of maintenance.
The complexity of the predominantly early
19th century façades, of which three are
Grade II listed buildings, commanded the
use of discreet, specially finished custom
made luminaires, that were unobtrusive in
daylight conditions.
At the time the project was designed, there
were no narrow beam dynamic white exte-
rior uplights that were small enough in size.
GIA Equation worked closely with acdc to
adapt one of their standard range products,
the Plaza surface mounted uplighter, into a
custom luminaire. Bespoke metal channels
were also designed for the façade to con-
ceal the linear lighting at the low levels.
The selection of lighting equipment was a
very rigorous process and lighting proposals
were thoroughly mocked-up on site and
tested well before commencement on site.
Given the project location, on Kensington
High Street, one of the busiest roads in
London, the scaffolding needed to complete
the project could only be in place for a very
limited period and there were no opportuni-

102 PROJECT / 2-22, MONTREAL, CANADA

STREET THEATRE
Multimedia studio Moment Factory used LED panels as architectural
lighting in their treatment for the façade of Montreal’s new
downtown culture hub, 2-22.

The corner of St-Catherine and St-Laurent
in Montreal is an area in reform. Once an
address synonymous with peep shows and
dive bars, this iconic address is now at the
heart of a municipal project to create an
upscale arts district for the city. The new
2-22 building is in many ways the cor-
nerstone of the Quartier des Spectactles
project. Sitting at this crossroads location,
it provides a home to a number of cultural
organisations, including community radio
station CIBL, cultural information service
La Vitrine, documentation centre Artexte,
Le Regroupement des centres d’artistes
autogeres du Quebec, and visual arts centre
VOX. Collectively, these groups - all co-own-
ers of the building - make 2-22 a hive of
creativity.
The five-storey structure is the brainchild
of the Société de Développement Angus
and architects Aedifica and Gilles Huot. Its
façade comprises a double skin: a wood-
en facia covered by an outer glass layer,
between which run a series of communal
walkways. At street level a diagonal section
cuts through the very corner of the building
to create the main entrance, the façade
pulling back like opening theatre curtains to
reveal the activity within the foyer.
The building is designed to have the versa-
tility to accommodate what city planners
hope will prove a rich variety of cultural
programming over the years to come. To
emphasise this role as cultural and creative
hub, La Vitrine culturelle turned to Mon-
treal-based multimedia designers Moment
Factory to bring the exterior space to life.
Moment Factory had already worked with
the client on a number of previous projects.
For La Vitrine Culturelle’s previous home
at the Place-des-Arts, the team created
an award-winning interactive LED façade,
and within the foyer of 2-22, they had
already created a six metre tall interactive
sculpture with ribbons of LED screens that
present the latest offerings from La Vitrine
culturelle in an informative yet artistic
installation. Because of this relationship,
the team were brought in at the very start
of the project and continued to meet with
the client and architects regularly in order
to exchange ideas as the plans evolved.
As Moment Factory’s Gabriel Pontbriand
explains, this was key to the success of the
design.
“Often on these kinds of projects we’re

2-22 sits on at the junction of St-Catherine and
St-Laurent in the heart of Montreal’s Quartier des
Spectacles. A diagonal cut across the corner of the
building reveals the foyer space and the dynamic
sculpture, also designed by Moment Factory.
The new façade conforms to the principles of the
Luminous Pathway - a visual identity created for
the Quartier des Spectacles Ruedi Baur and Jean
Beaudoin.
brought in at the end of the process, so the
application of the multimedia is quite min-
imal,” he says. “Here the building hadn’t
started construction, so early on we were
able to recommend details to help us better
integrate our features.”
This closer cooperation helped Moment Fac-
tory ensure their scheme would work with
the ‘gestures’ of the architecture, rather
than providing an extra, unrelated layer on
top of the structure. For example, Pont-
briand and his colleagues emphasised the
diagonal opening at the building’s entrance
by integrating grazing fixtures at its edge.
As a consequence the structure was adapted
to accommodate approximately 100ft of
104 PROJECT / 2-22, MONTREAL, CANADA

Moment Factory designed lighting effects for four

aspects of the façade of 2-22.

1 DMX-controllable numerals spell out the

building’s iconic address.

2 Approximately 100ft of custom grazing fixtures 1

emphasise the opening into the foyer space.

3 RGB LED panels line the underside of the

walkways that sit between the glass outer wall and
the building’s inner facade.

4 In the final installation, linear lighting is used to

accentuate the top edge of the building, though
plans are in place to extend this around the
perimeter of both façades.

narrow beam fixtures, used to throw light

across the length of each façade.
The shape of the building is further em-
phasised by a 190ft contour of RGBW linear 2
fixtures running along the top edge of the
building, controllable at inch-long inter-
vals. There are plans in place to extend
this around the edge of both street-facing
façades at some point in the future.
Key to Moment Factory’s design was a series
of LED screens installed on the underside of
the six walkways that sit between the glass
and wood façades. Each screen matches the
area of the walkway precisely to create six
2ft-wide sections, in lengths of between
50ft and 140ft. To work within their budget,
the team selected an older RGB LED tech-
nology with an 18mm resolution (rather
than a more modern SMD, where all pixels
are within a single capsule), as pixel resolu-
3
tion was considered secondary to achieving
a complete coverage of the walkway areas.
Indeed, rather than considering this a re-
striction, Moment Factory created content
that would work to optimise the effects
achievable with the installed technology.
For the majority of the day, the panels dis-
play a scrolling ‘ticker-tape’ of forthcoming
attractions and shows - an external expres-
sion of the tickets available from La Vitrine
Culturelle and an extension of the scrolling
sculpture already installed in the building’s
foyer, visible from the street though the tall
entranceway windows. Though displaying
information-rich content, it was essential to
the designers that this be done subtly. “We
were very careful not to create another 4
Times Square,” says Pontbriand. “The
people of Montreal pass by this building
every day, so we developed content that
was more minimalist, more timeless, less
dynamic - more like a digital art piece - so
that people don’t find it annoying and don’t
get tired of seeing it.” As a consequence of
this approach, the scrolling text feels quite
unlike an advertising hoarding and more like
a dynamic piece of graphic design.
106 PROJECT / 2-22, MONTREAL, CANADA

When not displaying news of forthcoming
events, the screens are programmed to
generate a variety of unusual effects. “Early
in the process we realised that the LED
screens could also be used as an architec-
tural light source,” says Pontbriand. “We
did renders to see how the wood façade
would be affected by the LED and it became
clear it was something we could really work
with.”
These architectural lighting effects were
factored in when Moment Factory car-
ried out the programming for the exterior
scheme, blending them with the building’s
curtain grazing and contour lighting. Into
this mix was added a third LED screen
effect. By producing a single line of light,
three pixels thick, along the length of each Above left The illuminated 2-22 sign, custom made

 The Conical Media Wall at Hysan Place, Causeway Bay - Hong Kong

Hysan Place is the new flagship development by Hysan, Causeway Bay’s most significant
developer of high-end retail and office properties. Given the considerable competition in
this entertainment and shopping hub, Hysan Place needed something unique for its grand
entrance. This led to the genesis of the Conical Media Wall; a vast electronic integrated
façade which forms the arch under which most visitors will pass.
The shape was immediately problematic as the overhanging façade is formed in the
contour of a truncated and inverted cone 15 metres high and 24 metres wide. This created
a three dimensional puzzle that no conventional modular media wall product could match.
Illumination Physics solved the problem with one of its linear media wall products
IP X-Pipe. This is a linear tubular LED product that is vertically mounted in separate rows.
The distance along the vertical pitch of the LED was fixed at 40mm. The distance between
the horizontal rows varies imperceptibly from 80mm to 110mm in order to best suit the
conical dimensions. Another example of ‘Built-In Design’ from Illumination Physics.

In addition to this regular, preprogrammed

Lo studio di Illuminazione e design multimediale
Moment Factory ha creato un sistema di facciata
dinamica per La Vitrine Culturelle all’angolo tra
St- Catherine e St- Laurent a Montreal. L’edificio,
situato nel cuore della città nel “Quartier des Spec-
tacles”, fornisce informazioni sugli eventi in pro-
gramma. La Moment Factory ha installato pannelli
a LED sul lato inferiore dei passaggi esposti sui tre
piani della facciata all’angolo dell’edificio. Questi
sono usati come un elemento di illuminazione per
illuminare la facciata e creare un effetto “trompe
l’oeil” che rende le linee diritte dell’edifico incurvate
e pulsanti. Essi possono anche trasmettere infor-
mazioni sugli eventi culturali in arrivo, arrotolan-
dosi come un “mangianastri” intorno all’edificio. In
aggiunta a questi schermi LED c’è un’ illuminazione
lineare che fornisce un contorno intorno alla som-
mità dell’edificio e lungo i bordi del suo ingresso
ad angolo triangolare. Ogni ora il sistema della fac-
ciata esegue uno spettacolo di luci utilizzando degli
effetti video- luci forniti da un X – Agora (sistema di
controllo e riproduzione multimediale della Moment

112 PROJECT / MONDEAL SQUARE, AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT STATE, INDIA
The Mondeal Square project is a shining
example of the increasingly buoyant nature
of India’s new economy.
The project has been marketed as the new
commercial centrepiece of Ahmedabad,
the fifth largest city in India and one of the
fastest growing cities in the world.
Located in the Gujarat area of the coun-
try, the city was at one point nicknamed
the ‘Manchester of the East’ due to
Ahmedabad’s bourgeoning textile industry.
A hotspot of civil disobedience during the
fight to end the British Raj, Ahmedabad has
always sat right at the heart of the Indian
story.
The Mondeal project is comprised of a
twin tower of ten and twelve storey office
buildings with a connecting two storey
retail area. The impressive visual display is
comprised of an architectural blueprint by
Blocher&Blocher and an innovative lighting
and video content design from Atelierdada.
Boasting the biggest media façade in India,
the structure’s lighting design is quite some-
thing to behold and features an impressive
3968 media LED lines that cover around
5293m2 of the glazed façade,
Products from the media façade and media
architecture specialists AHL Lighting were
used on the project, with many products
being especially customized for the Mondeal
project, such as a new version of the D32
from AHL, which was developed for integra-
tion into the structure.
What makes Mondeal Square unique and in-
teresting is the use of a smart architectural
language. The design opts to use light as an
architectural element, a defining medium,
and this is a tangible part of the design.
The integration of the lighting into the sun
shade structure has been done so that occu-
pants have unobstructed views even while

on the exterior of the Mondeal Square structure

the lights are on.
The impressive grid based orthogonal media
façade provided by AHL, which forms the
most eye-catching element of the build-
ing’s lighting design, required the creation
of a special irregular grid, as well as the
development of a challenging video content
program and design.
The theme of the lighting programme,
which produces a five hour daily light show,
was developed in order to summon a sober
weekday feel. The was created with the use
of gently moving geometric light content,
in a warm white colour that respects the
nature of the building’s function and the
original nature of its structure.
A program plays periodically for five min-
utes at the start of each hour, displaying a
different animation each time, turning the
building’s exterior into a huge timepiece, an
abstract light marker of the changing hour
114 PROJECT / MONDEAL SQUARE, AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT STATE, INDIA

The architecture has been merged with the street in a creative manner, with palm trees being used to create a boundary and mounted lights acting as beacons. The
innovative media façade is able to produce abstract animations that mark national and local events as well as adapting to the days of the week.

that connects people with the building via a
visual temporality.
Beckoning in the start of a new working
week, on a Sunday evening, a more agile
and colourful play of shadow and light has
been designed.
For festivals, special abstract animations
take inspiration from the local culture and
Gujarat is an area rich in history and ritual
from which to draw ideas. Event videos
play to mark Christmas and Uttarayan – The
International Kite Festival, one of the big-
gest events in the Gujarat calendar and an
event that see’s locals construct a host of
homemade kites to celebrate the day when
winter starts to turn to summer.
Light animations have also been created to
mark Republic Day (one of three national
holidays in the Indian calendar), Diwali,
Holi (a Muslim festival of colours that sees
people running about the streets pelting
each other with brightly coloured powder)
and Navratri, a nine day festival of dance in
honour of the Hindu deity Durga.
A pattern of glowing linear light can be
found throughout the lighting scheme for
the buildings and the square. A continu-
ous line of light wraps the whole building,
while continuous lines wrap the grand steps
toward the retail area.
The benches and planters in the social spac-
es are also natily illuminated, while radial
lines drive onwards toward the corporate

entrance to the building. of a prosperous Ahmedabad and the history

To express and highlight the architectural
decision to merge the architecture with the
public street, without an obvious border or
boundary, it was proposed to use palm tree
mounted lights in order to create a wel-
coming green natural border, while avoiding
the use of any extra lighting furniture that
could obstruct views of retail space, or the
impressive architecture.
Palm trees were symbolically planted
around the public green space to compli-
ment the architecture further. The palm
tree was chosen as an icon representative
and character of Ahmedabad city in the
16th century, the area’s golden age. Mon-
deal Square, with its vibrant architecture,
lends Ahmedabad, the one-time ‘city of
adhoc billboards’, a breath of colourful art
that celebrates the stirring architecture it
is presented upon. This new structure in the
heart of the ‘Manchester of the East’ is a
symbolic sign that the city, after a rich his-
tory, will sit at the forefront of India’s 21st
century story, just as it has in years past.

BEAUTIFUL BRINY SEA

The National Aquarium in Baltimore is an Aladdin’s cave for fish fanatics, with hundreds of
species dwelling deep within the museum’s many habitats. The Blacktip Exhibit with its thrilling
sharks and rays has been boosting visitor numbers three-fold since it opened in 2013. Flux Studio
produced an enthralling lighting design for the exhibit.
 119

The exhibit entry features a reflective acrylic

art piece overhead that refracts water-like light
patterns on surrounding surfaces. The blue
Lumenpulse Lumenfacade LED fixtures that graze
the wall surfaces fade in intensity, introducing
visitors to the dynamic lighting conditions featured
throughout the exhibit.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore is a gar-

gantuan love letter to the seven seas. With
a living collection of over 17,000 animals,
together numbering 750 species of fish,
birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals,
the site is a glass cathedral to all things
aquatic.
The building of the aquarium in 1981 was a
vital part of Baltimore’s urban renewal plan
and the institution has since proved contin-
uously popular with an annual attendance
of over 1.5 million.
The animas all reside in carefully construct-
ed habitats, which are naturalistic to the
core. In the summer of 2013 the Aquarium
opened Blacktip Reef, an impressive exhibit
that replicates an India-Pacific reef in all
its unfathomable complexities. The replica
reef features more than 700 animals, in-
cluding the real crowd puller of this aquatic
muster, twenty blacktip reef sharks.
In 2011 Flux Studio was approached by Cam-
bridge Seven Associates to join the design
team handling the creation of the Blacktip
Reef exhibit at the National Aquarium.
From the outset, it was clear that this
was a project that would call for delicate
handling. Artistry was required to create
a memorable and enjoyable setting, but
equally, a high level of technical precision
was needed to meet the scientific demands
of the project, ensuring the optimum
relationship between light and water for
the best viewing experience throughout the
five-storey space.
The differing requirements of numerous
species of animal had to be taken into
account too when developing a lighting
plan, including the needs of numerous rays,
sharks and countless other marine species,
each with their own biological requirements
in relation to light.

sessment of the space and it was clear to us Over 50 ETC Source Four framing projectors

rather bland environment, and one where
the richness of detail in the upgraded tank
habitat would be hard to make out.”
In response to these complicated require-
ments, numerous steps were taken during
the development of the lighting design.
“Non-featured surfaces were illuminated
to similar levels as exhibitions,” comments
Shrum, “and by using High Dynamic Range
photography to analyse the existing lumi-
nance levels, we were able to clearly show
this to the clients as a visual map, and also
to show them what focusing light on the
displays and reducing it in other areas could
achieve.”
Improving the quality of the light in terms
of colour and consistency was also con-
sidered, as well as creating easy access
to lighting in order to allow maintenance
work to be completed without unnecessary
problems.
To create a dramatic visual effect both
above and under the water surface Flux
Studio set out to increase the apparent
brightness of displays, while counter bal-
ancing this with a dimmer saturated blue
light in the non-display areas. As visitors
move throughout the space, the interaction
of light and water is called to mind by the
use of reflective and refractive materials
such as acrylic and mirrors combined with
dynamic lighting. The resulting ripples, pat-
terns and shifting views create the feeling
of being immersed in a magical underwater
world.
At the entrance to the space a reflective
acrylic art piece refracts watery patterns
onto the wall, while blue light gracefully
rises and falls in intensity, grazing the wall
surfaces, setting the scene for what is to
come. An eye-catching feature has also
been created in the entrance by focusing

bubbling inside them, the bubbling water
prompts changing light patterns that reflect
off the nearby mirrored wall and ceiling
surfaces.
The central tank within the Great Hall
presented an exciting design challenge to
the team. The intent was that no direct
light would strike the visitor walkways
or adjacent surfaces within the complex
three-dimensional space. Over 50 framing
projectors in seven optimised locations
were aimed to ensure the full impact of the
light is restricted to the tank, as well as
being accessible for maintenance.
A building wide control system has been in-
stalled in order to manage the photoperiod
setting, including gradual sunrise and sunset
transitions that support animal health and
limit algae growth.
By limiting all direct light to the water sur-
face the architectural surfaces throughout
the Great Hall are animated with reflected
light patterns. Mirrored surfaces on the di-
agonal overhead walkways present shifting
views as visitors move through the space,
but the central focus remains always on the
tank, with detail and depth visible even
from the upper floors.
Low level adjustable blue LED fixtures for
general light and LED graphic panels address
circulation and display requirements with-
out causing eye adaptation issues, ensuring
that visitors can enjoy the exhibits without
any awareness of the lighting challenges.
“Although it appears unified when viewed
from above, in fact the lighting to the tank
is varied in both intensity and distribu-
tion,” concludes Shrum. “This increases the
perception of scale and distance when seen
through the underwater viewing windows.
The light patterns have been designed to
emulate the quality of light and shadow
that would be found in an Indo-Pacific coral
reef at noon.”

aumentare la luminosità dei display controbi-
lanciandola con una luce intensa blu scuro nelle
aree che non ne sono provviste. Visto che i visi-
tatori si muovono dappertutto, l’interazione tra la
luce e l’acqua viene evocata attraverso l’utilizzo
di materiali riflettenti e rifrangenti quali l’acrili-
co e gli specchi combinati con l’illuminazione di-

COEN HOOGSTRATEN
Coens, a light and design studio based in the Netherlands, produces projects that highlight the
magic in our everyday existence.
Coen Hoogstraten is a light artist who
values the interaction of people with his
art and he often gives those who choose
to interact with his work a little piece of
knowledge or a self crafted trinket. He is
perhaps best known for the Lichtbloem, a
light flower, a do it yourself light project.
Originally developed by Hoogstraten as
a workshop exercise for school children,
and for use as an activity at festivals, the
Lichtbloem is a do-it-yourself piece of light
art, constructed out of simple everyday
materials, such as a clothes peg, a ping
pong ball, a push pin, a battery, some
optical fibres and an LED. The final result,
once constructed, is a beautiful object,
a little ornament that resembles fireflies
hovering around a miniature sun or a little
universe orbiting about a star, all atop
a clothes peg. Out of the commonplace
something magical and mysterious is born.
The instructions for construction of the
Lichtbloem were broken down into a simple
step by step guide and a box produced
containing the necessary items allowing
Hoogstraten to translate the DIY workshop
into a beautifully presented DIY kit. The
boxes have been internationally distributed
and Coen’s clients include the Stedelijk
Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in
New York and the Museum of Contemporary
Art in Chicago.
Hoogstraten has been working on both light
objects and installations since 2009 and
has presented his lighting designs at events
such as Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven
and Maison et Objet in Paris, as well as
at other leading design shows around the
world. After finding success with his original
lighting designs, he founded Coens, his own
light and design studio based in The Hague
in the Netherlands.
Public artworks have been a focus of Coens
and one such project was Lightberg, a
fascinating light sculpture made out of
recycled industrial fluid tanks, melted to
resemble an abstract iceberg. The tanks
glow a distinct aqua blue, a colour that has

been designed to bring to mind the blue
colouring of a glacier, a natural occurrence
that takes places when snow falls on a
glacier, due to the compression caused
when air bubbles are squeezed, making the
ice not only clear but able to absorb the
red end of the colour spectrum, leaving the
blue end reflected and visible.
Hoogstraten values the effect that
technology can have on his artwork and
the innovation and inspiration its use
can prompt in his art. The artist likes to
highlight the often hidden technological
aspects that power a canny product and
then place them front row centre in his
work.
With Etree, a piece of light sculpture,
recreated leaves are lit up in a beautiful
turquoise hue.
Coens first presented these lighting leaves
in real trees, and then later translated this
exterior artwork into an interior object.
The result is a cropped version of the tree,
the base, branches and leaves representing
its key elements, but critically the wires
that power the leaves are strengthened
into bendable branches, changing the
appearance of the lamp, but also acting to
recreate the purpose of the stem in nature
perfectly, to give the plant life, or in the
case of Etree, to feed the leaves with
electricity.
Nature has consistently been an area of
inspiration for Hoogstraten and Marram,
another piece from Coens, is a case in
point. The piece was created for the Into
the Great Wide Open festival that takes
place in Vlieland, a small, windswept
island off the coast of the Netherlands.
Hoogstraten was commissioned to create a
125
light installation inspired by the beautiful
nature of the island.
Coen found a perfect spot for his artwork,
just outside a forest at the top of a dune.
Inspired by the sight of the wind hitting
hard against the sea-side marram grass, he
created optic grass that was only visible at
night, tufts of shimmering light that bring to
mind the magical ‘spangled starlight sheen’
from a Midsummer Night’s Dream.
From the charming Lichtbloem to the
wonder of Marram, Coen Hoogstraten
finds and articulates through his light art
work, the magic that is to be found in our
everyday existence, highlighting, in the
process, the inspiration that can be taken
from simplicity.

RUTH MCDERMOTT AND
BEN BAXTER
Primarily concerned with the relationship
between nature and the city, McDermott
and Baxter are continually inspired by
the mysteries of natural phenomena. After
four years of collaboration, their creative
partnership continues apace.
Above right: Cloud of Bats was part of VIVID IN 2009 recreating the swirling clouds Fruit Bats create when they swarm across the Sydney sky.
Above left: Wagner Licht creates a sound-scape while enveloping the viewer in light, condensing Richard Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle into three minutes.
Light, materials and the forces of nature
form the basis for the craft of Ruth McDer-
mott and Ben Baxter. The artistic double act
have been collaborating for four years and
combine a fine arts approach with a strong
knowledge and a love of lighting. They also
bring an industrial designer’s eye for detail
to projects, with the intent of creating
something utterly unique.
They have a history of creating large scale
works and have featured in the past four
VIVID lighting festivals in Sydney. They have
also exhibited at the recent Wellington LUX
light art festival and are included in the
forthcoming Thames and Hudson publication
on light art.
Their projects have been many and varied.
One of their most recent noteworthy pieces
was ‘Moths to a Flame’, which was creat-
ed for VIVID Sydney 2013 festival and was
installed at the city’s Walsh Bay Precinct.
‘Moths to a Flame’ is based on memories of
long Australian summers and the texture of
swarming moths congregating around porch
lights and streetlights. In Sydney the yearly
Bogong Moth migration makes these swarms
a regular feature of city life.
The moths migrate from the flat plains of
New South Wales and Queensland to the
mountains every spring, but on the way
they become distracted and hypnotised by
the bright lights of Sydney and Canberra,
descending on the city in swarms, creating
shimmery clouds around streetlights.
Thoroughly inspired by the yearly biblical
plague McDermott and Baxter created a
series of lightweight moth sculptures using
gold plated metal moths mounted on net-
ting. They then rigged them onto existing
external streetlights in the Walsh Bay area.
The aim was to enhance the lighting effect
from the light fixtures, while create aerial
sculptures which move with the breeze.
The gold plated moths create a golden glow
around each light.
Created for VIVID Sydney 2012, Cumulus was
installed on Mill Lane, the Rocks, Sydney.
Looking like a net of balloons suspended
over a political convention, ready to be
dropped at a moment of celebration, the
Cumulus was inspired by the weather,
particularly the unsettled storms and rain
that have appeared to be more common in
Australia lately.
Cumulus was made from perforated alumi-
num sheets interlocked with specially made
brackets. Internally installed LEDs were
programmed to produce colours and effects
that reflect the theme of the piece. Light
source LMX Nodes were supplied by Xenian.
McDermott and Baxter worked diligent-
ly with engineers and riggers to create a
specially made mounting array and the hard
work paid off, as the Cumulus went on to
win an award at the IES (Illuminating Engi-
neering Society) NSW State awards in 2012.

Left Cumulus was an attempt to create a cloud that celebrated all the different hues of light created during a single day. Top right Moths to a Flame recreates
the image of moths congregating around outside lights during the summer. Above right Cascade was inspired by the many reservoirs that were built as Sydney
expanded.
Pre-dating the natural theme that would go
onto inspire ‘Moths to a Flame’, ‘Cloud of
Bats’ was created for VIVID 2010 in Sydney
and was installed on Observatory Hill, The
Rocks.
McDermott and Baxter collaborated on the
project with the architect Trent Middleton.
‘A Cloud of Bats’, was created initially for
the first VIVID light festival in 2009 and the
installation aimed to evoked memories of
the nightly bat migration that has existed
in areas of Australia for thousands of years.
The sandstone used in the piece was chose
to remind those who saw it of the amazing
natural landscape on which Sydney exists.
The 18 meter long installation used netting
to support the bat cloud as it flew up to
Observatory Hill to feed on the fig trees
that can be found there. The artists opted
to use the colours of sunset to wash across
the magnificent sandstone wall to act as a
fitting backdrop for these creatures of the
night as they bid farewell the day. Philips
Color Kinetic Color Blasts supplied by Xe-
nian, were used to light the piece.
McDermott and Baxter created ‘Web of
Light’ for the VIVID festival of 2011. Again
held in Sydney, the artwork was located
on Cambridge St, the Rocks, it was also
later displayed at Globelight Melbourne in
2013 and ArtLIGHT 2013.
The inspiration behind the Web was the bril-
liant refractive effect that light has when
it hits a spiders web. The artists created
a three metre wide giant web using 1,000
chandelier crystals. This was then lit using
energy efficient LED arrays from beneath.
The light source used was the x ewGraze
Powercore module supplied by Xenian.
McDermott and Baxter were also trying to
relate to the space, which has a particularly
romantic and moody atmosphere, with some
natural vegetation and textural walls. Later
that year McDermott and Baxter re-imag-
127
ined the Web for daytime.
‘Cascade’, created in June 2012 and in-
stalled by a Sydney reservoir was inspired
by the original purpose of the lake, which
was to store water for the rapidly growing
city of Sydney. ‘Cascade’ creates the feeling
of being immersed in water, the piece
acting to form a gentle waterfall. This was
a very low budget project so simplicity was
important. During the day the afternoon sun
slants through the reservoir gardens forming
a pool of brilliant blue on the lower surface.
So the viewer standing in this pool and
looking up at the ‘Cascade’ feels the water.
The installation was lit at night with LEDs
which were powered by an adjacent solar
panel, another beautiful example of our
atmosphere and light corresponding.

SUB CLUB
A design collective consisting of members of BDP, Arup, WSP, acdc, Cundall Light4 and
SLL created a spectacular lighting and sound event at one of Manchester’s most celebrated
architectural gems. There will hopefully be more to come...
One of Manchester’s most famous sons, John
Rylands, was an entrepreneur and philan-
thropist who made his fortune during the
Industrial Revolution, becoming Manches-
ter’s first multi-millionaire as a result. The
John Rylands Library was opened in 1900 in
his memory, a decade after his death, by his
wife. The late Victorian, neo-gothic archi-
tecture of the library created the ultimate
interactive theatre for the first Subluminal
event. A design collective comprising light,
sound and electrical designers, the Sublu-
minal team aspire to set new boundaries of
collaborative design and create beautiful,
transient installations. The Subluminal team
consists of Chris Lowe (lighting designer),
Rhiannon West (lighting designer), Helen
Varley (acoustic designer), Joe Lally (envi-
ronmental engineer) of BDP; Luke Arting-
stall (lighting designer) of Cundall Light4;
Simon Jackson (acoustic designer) of Arup;
Stephen Peters (electrical engineer) of WSP
Group; Eliot Horsman, who was with acdc at
the time of the event; and Brendan Keely of
the Society of Light & Lighting.
The event, sponsored by acdc lighting, at-
tracted members of the design industry and
public whilst drawing attention to the value
of the sensory narrative within the built
environment through the medium of light
and sound. Subliminal brought a new level
of appreciation by granting the audience
access to the library where light and sound
came together to create spectacle.
During hours of daylight, hundreds of visi-
tors walk through the library daily and are
wowed by the majestic architecture. Over
three consecutive nights, the Subluminal
team demonstrated how light and sound
can shape and enhance an environment that
is established and celebrated. The lighting
design introduced the attendees to archi-
tectural elements that are unique to John
Rylands Library, and brought to life a space
that could be appreciated in a way never
seen before. Elements of sound intrigued
and inspired emotions by immersing visitors
in a vivid and memorable sensory experi-
ence.
Starting the Subluminal experience, guests
entered through the historic entrance of the
library where a warm light highlighted the
vaulted structure, contrasted with areas of
complete darkness creating an eerie atmo-
sphere. Leading up the wide staircase and
towards the upper level reading room, a
bellowing voice read quotations of light and
shadow from literature that were projected
onto a 58 foot high wall.
The upper level Main Reading Room was
129
flooded with a saturated red light. Contrast-
ing light and shade filled the ceiling picking
out the smallest of details whilst high-
lighting the gothic arches overhead. Lower
down, single beams of light illuminated his-
torical books and enticed those present to
move toward them as the speech emanated
from hidden directional speakers. A statue
of John Rylands illuminated with a cool
white beam of light greeted the audience
and explained the history of the building.
From here, the audience was invited to en-
ter the basement (getting there was not for
the faint hearted!) via a tight spiral stair-
case dimly lit with LEDs led the way. As the
staircase descends each step grows smaller.
A deep bass rumble emanated from below
the building which became more apparent
during the descent. A sub-bass soundtrack
accompanied guests through the low base-
ment corridor lined with ancient books and
the occasional strobe flash to light the way.
During the subterranean experience the el-
ement of sub-bass vibrations took over from
audible sound to reach a climax before the
exit and return to ground level.
With close to 800 people visiting this event,
the Subluminal team plans to resurface in
the future to create a whole new experi-
ence.

JOOST HEREMANS
A London-based architect, designer of the Lightcatcher and one of the
speakers at the Designers With Light Forum at May Design Series.
As an architect and designer, Joost Here-
mans’ credentials are beyond dispute. He
joined Foster+Partners in July 2002 and
initially worked on the award-winning Leslie
L. Dan Pharmacy Building at the University
of Toronto, Canada, preparing the scheme
for detailed planning application submission
and preparing the construction documen-
tation. Since then, he has worked on a
wide range of design projects, including
the transformation of the Public Library in
New York; a carbon-neutral resort in Cuba;
the five-star ME hotel in central London;
a design for a 600m tower in Chicago; a
headquarters tower in Calgary, Canada; The
2022 World Cup football stadium in Qatar, a
Children Hospital for the University of Iowa,
a 300m high residential tower in Beijing and
the ETFE Khan Shatyr tensile structure in
Astana, Kazakhstan.
In 2006, Heremans was promoted to Associ-
ate before stepping up to Associate Partner
a year later.
Outside of his architectural work - or
rather, running alongside it - Heremans has
a passion for designing large-size pendant
light structures and last year launched the
Lightcatcher. Three years in the making,
the piece is a fusion between interior
design and fashion. Launched, appropriate-
ly enough, during the 2013 London Design
Festival and Paris Design Week, the piece
is a reinvention of the pendant lampshade.

LIGHTING
LANDMARX
The Social Light Movement has reached the
milestone of 1,000 members and it’s still
rising on a daily basis. It is fitting that the
movement has reached this landmark on the
eve of Light + Building as it was there that
the movement was created four years ago.

Since the founders came together and
decided there was a need for the group
at Light and Building in 2010, the SLM
has given numerous lectures around the
world and held two major international
workshops in Belgium and Sweden. It
has just seen the first permanent SLM
lighting scheme installed as a result of
the Swedish workshop. It has cracked
America and has just completed its first
US workshop. It narrowly missed out
winning a Professional Lighting Design
Recognition Award in the Award at Large
Category at PLDC last year. It has also
inspired a couple of PHDs and spread a
lot of love.
Founders Isabelle Corten, Erik Olsson,
Joran Linder, Elettra Bordonaro, Martin
Lupton and Sharon Stammers believe
that as designers, we need to put ‘Peo-
ple before places’ and that ‘Light is a
right, not a privilege’. The main objec-
tive of the SLM is for us to get out of our
offices and into the spaces that we are
designing for. To put down our laptops
and speak to the people that we seek to
provide light for. Check out our philos-
ophy, the workshop format and results
on our website and join the network on
Facebook.

What is the SLM?

The Social Light Movement is a
philanthropic movement and has been
founded in order to create a network for
lighting designers and other interested
parties to collaborate on the issue of
improving lighting for people: particularly
those who are unlikely to have access
to good quality illumination within their
environment.

The SLM exists:

Bahere Sadeghi, aged 19 therefore forced to use the outdoor environment as
a kind of extended living room and because there
is no place for youth it often leads to fights and
vandalism in the area. Working with lighting in a
city centre is never questioned so the SLM aims to
draw attention to the neighbourhoods that are in
the periphery; physically, socially and economically.
The Hjustla workshop contacted local community
groups, schools, housing associations, local council
and street lighting departments to ensure they
understood the intentions of the SLM and then
under guidance, the participants were asked to
create a concept for the chosen locations. They
spent time developing their ideas, undertook
mock-ups, liaised with local residents and finally
presented their proposals to the relevant interested
groups and to the residents themselves. Along
the way the workshop participants spent time
talking, dancing and playing football with kids and
teenagers in the area to understand how their lives
are shaped by the place they live in.
Olsson and Linder have implemented the first permanent design based upon an
idea from the Hjulsta workshop by students. The Forest is located in the middle of
a residential estate and the students design was to add colour and vibrancy to an
essentially no-go area. Brightly coloured tree stumps for seating, illuminated bird
feeders in the woods, coloured lights washing across the pathway on the ground
and coloured trees. The solution was achieved using a catenary system to suspend
lighting and negating the huge cost of burying fixtures and cables in the ground.
In order to engage the community and advertise the scheme, an unusual opening
event was held.

Providence, USA
“I saw the build up of huge interest, enthusiasm and
connection people felt for the cemetery, the neighbourhood
and each other. You brought Providence a wonderful gift and
a vision of what is possible.” Polly

Elettra Bordonaro has headed up the
first SLM workshop in the US at the
Rhode Island School of Design. The
‘wintersession’ was a five week program
on public engagement and light, titled
Light, City and Community. The school
identified an organisation called SWAP
(Stop Wasting Abandoned Properties) and
Grace Church, the owners of a historical
cemetery in South Providence that was in
need of much love and attention. Despite
being the only green space in the area,
it was perceived as a dangerous and
unattractive area.
Fourteen international students from
the RISD’s Industrial Design, Furniture
Design and Architecture departments
engaged with neighbourhood businesses
and residents to find out what ideas and
concerns about the cemetery existed.
The class then worked in teams to
create several ideas for installations,
distilling their work into one final
concept Southlight that was presented
to all interested stakeholders. The class
then had a race against time to secure
donated luminaires, test the ideas, clear
rubbish, negotiate deep snow and build
the structures required.
The concept was based on ‘the Tree’ as
the main element of life and to provide
a connection for the past, the present
and the future of the community. Stories
from the families buried in the graveyard
were collected and along with stories
of the existing community projected to
personalise the space. The students also
used 300 hundred candles in paper bags
to create new paths to encourage to
people to wander through the cemetery.
The end result was opened to all in order
to demonstrate how light can transform a
neglected and unloved space.

WRITTEN AT THE CLUB
In its heyday the Reform Club was a cornerstone of ‘high society’ with Henry James and Winston Churchill
calling themselves members. Zumtobel produced a lighting scheme for the club’s newly refurbished interior.
The long-established Reform Club has many
connections to the English glitterati, but
some of the most noteworthy of these have
been literary. Siegfried Sassoon wrote here
and Jules Verne’s Phileas Fogg ended his
trip Around the World in Eighty Days at the
club.
Situated in the heart of London’s Club-land
the institution’s founders commissioned Sir
Charles Barry to design an ‘imposing and
palatial clubhouse’, which went on to open
in 1841.
The original decorative finish, which has
been undergoing a delicate restoration,
is considered one of the most important
Grade 1 listed interiors in London. From
the outset, a clear client vision and
concept was to introduce life back into
the Grand Hall, with its galleried landings
and wonderful atrium. The lighting was to
be ‘the eyes’ through which to enjoy the
opulent interior, providing a warm three-
dimensional glow that brings architectural
details and artworks to life.
The Bristol-based Lighting Services worked
closely with the client to deliver a lighting
solution that delighted English Heritage
with the way it enhanced the building’s
interior. Zumtobel was chosen as the
appropriate partner to provide the lighting
and control systems. The chosen products
fulfilled the necessary requirements in
terms of efficiency, sustainability and
flexibility. Based on Zumtobel’s intelligent
Luxmate Litenet lighting management
system, Lighting Services were able
to develop an innovative concept that
provided adaptable multiple DALI LED
spotlights, which cross washed portraits
and the once dark and out-of-sight cof-
fered ceilings, swags and pilaster capitals.
The columns are set in relief providing a
wonderful overall, balanced visual effect
to what is in essence a fabulous stage set.
Thanks to the system’s compatibility, the
lighting solution can be adjusted as required
and can also be extended to incorporate
other areas and fittings. Groucho Marx once
famously said that he “would never care
to belong to a club that will have me as a
member.” For the rejuvenated Reform Club,
he just might have made an exception.

BRIDGE ON THE BRDA
Bydgoszcz is a Polish city worthy of attention, with its beautiful water courses and fine concert halls, the city
is polishing its look. A lighting design from Griven has added further pizzazz to an arresting new bridge.
Serving as a fitting backdrop for historic
buildings in the city center, the waterfront
of the Brda River in the Polish city of
Bydgoszcz has long been a hidden treasure.
The city authorities realised it was high
time to take advantage of the asset and
has encouraged new initiatives aimed
at renewing the riverside, including the
creation of bike and pedestrian paths.
Recent changes to the architectural
outline of Bydgoszcz have delivered a more
captivating look to the city. The most
noteworthy new structure is the unusual
extra-dosed bridge on the River Brda,
which is made up of two differently shaped
intersecting arches reaching a total height
of about 230ft, which has been erected
and lit in order to facilitate urban road
communication. The suspension bridge is
one of a kind and is based on two horse-
shoe-shaped shafts that sustain, with
the help of steel cables, two long spans.
Specified by the construction company
Elbrox, eight units of Powershine MK2 D
RGBW with spot optics have been located at
the base of the steel structure of the bridge
for an even light distribution and an overall
dynamic colour changing effect, designed
by the company ElmarCo. Moreover, three
units of Powershine MK2 S RGBW Spot have
been installed on the nearby footbridge
supplied by the distributor for Griven
products in Poland, Prolight Sp. z.o.o. The
Powershine MK2 units allow the double
arched construction and the pedestrian
walkway to be seen from far away at night.
Using a total of 192 powerful RGBW LEDs,
Powershine MK2 D, is a double cluster
configuration projector that offers full
independent digital control of each LED
bank, while Powershine MK2 S is its versatile
single module version. The combination
of RGBW LEDs provides a good white light
output quality, as well as a wider variety
of intermediate colour hues for an even,6
broader range of application purposes.
The lighting scheme makes an already
eyecatching structure even more appealing
to the eye.

The Northern Backdrop designed Newton’s Cradle style fixture makes for an eye-catching centerpiece to the boardroom and glass windows allow it to be seen from
across the office. Stylish desk lamps also make for an important part of the lighting scheme including fixtures designed by Verner Panton.
For the main upstairs sales area Tyson used
white surface mounted directional spot-
lights to blend into the ceiling and open
up the space. The spotlights also produced
a far less intense lighting effect than the
previous fluorescent T5 installation. These
surface mounted directional spotlights were
fitted with Megaman 10W QRB111 2800K
in order to lend them a warm comfortable
light and also serve as a reliable LED solu-
tion. This was necessary in order to achieve
energy reduction targets whist providing a
good quality of light.
For the downstairs sales area the same
luminaires were used to highlight the fur-
niture and give each product a spot light.
In this area the lighting had to be more
focused as there was a much lower ceiling
height, this tends to close up the space, so
it was important that Tyson use the correct
beam angles in order to isolate pieces of
furniture, preventing them from getting
lost in the space. The fabric display section
was also a key area for consideration in
the lighting design. Tyson opted to isolate
this section of the space, so the lighting ar-
rangement would be utilised to perform the
task of inspecting fabrics. This was done by
surface mounting a track system in a square
shape, using spotlights from Intalite, which
use a Philips Fortimo LED module, a product
ideal for high colour rending applications
and for bringing out the true colours of
fabric.
Tyson lighting was able to source an array
of high-end decorative lighting pieces for
the project, in order to give the scheme a
sophisticated appeal.
One of the main features of the lighting is
the Northern Backdrop designed Newton’s
141
cradle style boardroom pendant as well as
a ‘dont walk/walk sign’ custom created
by Tyson for the project. This was such a
valuable piece to the jigsaw puzzle that
comprised this lighting design, that it was
of critical importance to the project that it
was done right. Tyson decided to use state
of the art 3D software to build a real life vi-
sualisation of the piece, in order to remove
all the guesswork before production.
It also gave the designer and customer a
chance to confirm that the fixture support-
ed the required look, as well as confirming
the fitting could actually be built to the
specification it was designed to.
When completed the interior and the
lighting design meshed perfectly, creating
a space that fits perfectly into the heart of
Britain’s principal design district.

Inside the building Insta LED luminaires
(Instalight 1065 and 3065) have been
installed in the cellar, while luminaires from
the Instalight Glow series (2030,2031 and
1031) have been installed in the offices and
in the grape reception area.
In addition, especially for this project, Insta
fabricated Glow luminaires with 25 optics
(bubbles) in RAL special lacquering DB 703.
On the top level of the building the grape
reception can be found, along with all the
necessary functions of a winery. Next to
this there is a 50-seat restaurant with a
terrace, offering an amazing view over the
neighboring vineyards.
The grape reception and the restaurant
can be converted into a multi-functional
event surface for different occasions. This
allows the tradition of concerts and cultural
events being held in the existing cellars of
the Schwarzer Adler to continue and to be
expanded upon.
On the second level of the building you
can find the entrance to the winery with
areas for wine tasting and presentation,
administration as well as the mash tanks
and presses that can be filled directly from
the grape reception above.
Level three houses the cellar for the
wooden barrels as well as the storage
tanks. The lighting design for Schwarzer
Adler was created with the multifunctional
nature of the building very much in mind
and is a successful scheme because of that
consideration.

DO LET THE SUNSHINE IN
The sunshine on Rhodes is almost unremitting with blue skies and hot weather gracing the Aegean island for
the majority of the year. Electron brought a soothing light scheme to The Alila, a luxury spa and hotel.
The Alila Resort & Spa is located on Rhodes
in the Aegean Sea. The sunshine island is
sometimes nicknamed the island of light due
to the 300 days of blue sky it is lucky enough
to see every year. The sun-streaked resort
has recently been renovated and has now
re-opened its doors to welcome visitors and
guests from all over the world.
Electron SA joined the project and contributed
to the illumination of the refurbished resort
with the aim of creating a luxurious refuge, a
paradise to share with family and friends.
The general illumination of the lobby, the
café, the restaurant and the pool bar was
achieved with the use of more than 250 ALTRA
downlights, manufactured by Electron and
using Xicato XSM LED modules. These were
fitted in accordance with the requirements
and specifications of each area in terms
of correlated colour temperature, colour
rendering index, lumen output, optics,
dimming options and emergency control
options.
In addition to the general illumination,
concealed lighting has been installed to
underline the general relaxing atmosphere,
making guests feel comfortable. The concealed
illumination is achieved with the use of
linear LED fittings that are also custom made
according to the needs of the space, in terms
of both colour and lumen output. Different
linear fittings were also developed to fit the
installation requirements of different locations
throughout the site.
The whole installation can be dimmed when
necessary via LED converters that Electron
manufacture. These afford the user 2,040 steps
of dimming, allowing a smooth control that
reinforces the relaxing environment.
The illumination of the lobby highlights the
architecture and provides a unique setting
for the ‘flying elements’ within the space
when seen from a distance. The illumination
of the main restaurant gels well with the
scenery of rugged Rhodes and the lighting of
the pool makes the notion of a nighttime dip
particularly inviting. This is green installation
that is entirely compatible with the luxury
resort and its lush surroundings.

With high quality light intensity and colour
rendering, but with no UV and negligible
IR light radiation or residual glare, it was
decided that Megaman’s LED AR111 and
PAR30L lamps were the ideal solution for
lighting a space of such historic, as well as
spiritual value.
Over 270 Megaman LED lamps were
installed in the Basilica, creating both a
beautiful and an energy efficient scheme.
As well as highlighting the beautiful interior
of the building, the new lighting design
ensures that savings of €1,882 in electricity
costs are maintained, as well as a 28,977kg
in CO2 emissions per year compared to
halogen equivalents.
Father Gustavo Boquin, Basilica Nuestra
Senora Del Socorro said of the Basilica’s
transformation: “We have been following a
programme of refurbishment at the Basilica
for many years and the lighting was an area
that needed an upgrade. We have many
works of art, frescoes and sculptures within
the walls of the Basilica and we wanted
to bring out the beauty of the individual
pieces, as well as reduce the yearly cost of
lighting the space.”
Part of Megaman’s LED Reflector Series, the
LED AR111 range lasts up to eight times lon-
ger and uses 80% less power than halogen
equivalents. Within Basilica Nuestra Senora
Del Socorro, 244 of Megaman’s AR111 10W,
2800k LEDs were used in a range of 8°, 24°
and 45° beam angles, for spotlighting as
well as wall washing key areas. In addi-
tion 28 Megaman PAR30L 15W, 4000k 25°

Sebastian Serra from Artelum S.A, a distrib-
utor of Megaman LED lamps who support-
ed Ernesto Diz on the project, “we were
able to use the lamps to ‘paint with light’
throughout the Basilica.”
The lighting scheme produced such a dra-
matic improvement that worshippers at the
Basilica Nuestra Senora Del Socorro initially
thought that the sculptures and frescoes
had been repainted. As well as the dramatic
visual improvement of the scheme, the use
of low energy replacements for halogen
reflectors greatly pleased the Basilica’s
administration office, the reduced running
costs helping the Basilica to continue to
play a leading role in the community of

ONE TEAM ONE DREAM

Barbizon helped to create a memorable and energy efficient lighting design in celebration of Super Bowl
XLVIII and this year’s champions, the Seattle Seahawks.

In preparation for one of the more glitzy events
on the sporting calendar, the Super Bowl, the
NFL unveiled the roman numerals XLVIII on
Super Bowl Boulevard in Midtown Manhattan,
to focus attention on the footballing event that
was held on the second of February.
In conjunction with this, three iconic buildings
in New York adapted their lighting schemes.
The newest of these structures was One World
Trade Center, which was finally completed on
the 10th of May 2013, it’s spire reaching a very
patriotic 1,776 feet, the year America declared
its independence.
The other two buildings involved were 4 Times
Square (H&M Building) currently home to
magazine publishing giant Condé Nast, and
One Bryant Park home to the Bank of America
and the third tallest building in New York after
One World Trade Centre and the Empire State
Building.
The buildings were lit orange honouring the
AFC Champion Denver Broncos, and bright
green, in order to honour the NFC Champion
the Seattle Seahawks, the two teams who
fought it out for the Super Bowl, with the
Seattle Seahawks going on to triumph.
The celebratory lighting scheme was overseen
by Barbizon and was officially illuminated on
Wednesday, January 29 2014.
Over the course of the weekend the two
team’s colours alternated until the game’s
conclusion on the Sunday, when the Seattle
Seahawk’s bright green was seen across the
entire metropolitan region celebrating their
win.
Barbizon Lighting’s New York office coordinated
the installation of energy-efficient, colour-
changing lighting on all three of the iconic
landmarks. The lighting systems that Barbizon
installed and commissioned could all be
remotely controlled and were coordinated by
the Durst Organization.

WHAT A GAS
As part of the regeneration of Brisbane’s derelict industrial areas, an iconic Victorian gas ring has been
transformed into a cultural plaza, set ablaze by over 500 Anolis fixtures.
The Newstead Gas Ring - a heritage-
listed piece of Brisbane’s historical
industrial architecture – has been reborn
as Gasworks, the iconic hub of a major
urban regeneration project. Launched just
over two decades ago the project is part
of a long term stratergy to transform the
formally derelict post-industrial wasteland
into a busy and vibrant contemporary living,
working and commercial environment.
The newly launched Gasworks Plaza, stands
below the Victorian superstructure of the
former gas storage ring, which has been
brought to life by an integrated sound
system and 500 Anolis LED lighting fixtures
supplied by ULA.
Lighting designer Heath Williamson of
Brisbane-based Firefly, collaborated closely
with Jono Perry, Technical Director of the
Brisbane Festival to create a scheme of gas-
flame colours.
It was Williamson who initially pushed the
Newstead area’s developers FKP to let him
re-imagine the landmark Gas Ring as a giant
public sculpture for all to enjoy.
The Gas Ring is 40 metres in diameter with
a circumference of 152 metres and features
20 spires each 20 metres tall. Anolis
ArcDots - a super-bright Cree MC-E RGBW
multichip based LED ‘pixel’ fixture with an
IP67 rating for good weather resistance –
are used on every bracing cross-member of
steel on the middle and top rings, which
are approximately 1200mm apart. There
are also five runs of 7 x ArcDots at 1200mm
spacings on every fourth spire, and a
further 40 units up-light the finials at the
top of each spire.
In addition to these, 60 Anolis ArcSource 96s
are utilised to up-light the main frames of
each of the 20 spires, and 20 x ArcSource
Integral MCs are ensconced in the ground
beneath the trees around the Gasometer to
complement the glowing metal.
Williamson loves the ArcSource 96s,
commenting that in terms of output they
were easily “the best” relatively compact
outdoor LED flood that they tested. Ahead
of making the final decision, he and Perry
travelled to Singapore’s Garden By The Bay
where they saw ArcSource 96s in action
lighting the Supertrees, and that impressed
them enough to confirm the fixtures for the
Gas Ring. “I love the power and the throw,”
he adds.
All the lighting is controlled via an e:cue
DMX system which was programmed by
Williamson and Perry. Perry produced four
special ten minute musical tracks for a
weekend lightshow which plays out on
Friday and Saturday nights. During the
week the Ring is lit after dark in a signature
scheme of different colours to suit the
season or special events.

BREAD DONE BETTER
OMS helped turn a centuries old family bakery into a fresh brand for the modern consumer.
When Martin Auer took over the family
bakery business, he saw an opportunity to
combine the three centuries of traditional
expertise with a fresh, modern aesthetic.
Auer applied an entrepreneurial approach,
keeping the existing quality of the products
and services, whilst at the same time
developing and growing the brand.
Following consultation with Austrian lighting
specialist LEDFORLIVING, he decided to
introduce LED technology into his three
newly opened bakeries in Graz. Specifically,
luminaires from OMS Lighting were
selected with the aim of achieving optimal
illumination for both product display and
customer comfort, while also helping to
create an elegant interior design.
Architect Markus Katzenberger helped
develop the new Auer bakeries. “We wanted
the lighting to provide optimal illumination
in terms of light colour and intensity, while
at the same time we naturally wanted it
to have an elegant design,” he says. “The
result was more than impressive. I wasn’t
previously aware that LED lighting already
has these required properties and is also
particularly attractive in terms of the
design of the light fixtures. This really made
a positive contribution to my architectural
design.”
At the bakery’s Center Nord and Center
Seiersberg outlets two high-end luminaires
were installed. The Rebell LED was selected
due to its retail-oriented lighting properties
and the fact that it could be custom
produced in black to match the company
logo, integrating perfectly with the brand
image.
The Track Avior Advanced was also used,
its high efficiency and excellent lighting
parameters helping make the bread produce
look irresistible.
In the third bakery, located in Tumerplatz,
the main goal was to achieve optimum
performance within a complex interior
architecture. OMS’s Zipar Duo, Zipar Trio
Recessed and Tarf had the versatility
necessary for the space.

Eva Kuß, DI Architect at coabitare, worked
on the Auer Tummelplatz site. “From its
planning through to its realisation, this
project was very quick indeed,” she says.
“Illuminating the café and shop using
conventional lighting was an arduous
process. What’s more, there were technical
building specifications that could only be
satisfied with certain models. The result
and delivery time of the LED products
now in use were more than satisfactory.
Until now, I didn’t realise that LED lighting
of this quality is more than a match for
conventional lighting.”
For Martin Auer, the lighting has proved a
success on a number of fronts. “I am highly
satisfied with the result, because it’s not
just the visual appearance of my products
that has improved significantly: the amount
of energy that I have saved in return for the
same light quality is also really impressive,”
he says.

OPENING UP A DIALOGUE
The City of Bologna has refurbished Piazza Minghetti, one of its historic squares, thanks to the creation of an
inventive lighting scheme from Viabizzuno.
The City of Bologna is one of the most
vibrant, lively and flourishing cities in Italy.
Piazza Minghetti has a number of functions
ranging from garden to desirable lunching
spot, yet thanks to project architect Glauco
Gresleri’s project, the 4500 sqm space is
now even more suited to its role as a busy
public space.
The project has been designed to evoke
presence of the Aposa, a river that until the
end of the nineteenth century, still flowed
through the area.
The project inserts itself with the urban
context of Bologna, taking into account
the historic nature of the city. Differing
elements of the square have been given
precise identities, from the via dei Toschi,
to the garden, the post office palace, the
savings bank and Piazza del Francia.
The new look square is an inviting place
to stop and take a moment to relax on the
benches and take in the dramatic building
facades of the Palazzi del Mengoni. The bus
platforms have been made transparent to
better the view, giving the area a perspec-
tive depth, while making the houses on the
via de’Toschi.
The lighting design was created by Mario
Nanni who chose fixtures featuring a 3500k
colour temperature, which allows for real-
istic colour rendering and differentiates the
lighting in the square from the traditional
yellowish urban lighting in the rest of the
city, while highlighting the beauty of the
piazza’s setting.
The Sentiero di Vals light guides visitors
through the space. This IP65 outdoor light
fitting is made in one piece and integrates
seamlessly into its environment, merging

with the nineteenth century architectural
context of the setting, thanks to its simple,
but modern shape.
Aligned parallel to these fixtures, is the
GiraeFFe dissuasore, a fixture that features
a 1W LED accent light.
The Central monument in the square by
Marco Minghetti, of an Italian politician
from the nineteenth century, is now placed
on the pavement. A special quality is given
to the object due to the emotional strength
of Mario Nanni’s design, he has composed
a luminous symphony, both poetic and
respectful of the energy consumption
required.
The Lucus family of lights has also been
used on the project, an IP65 system for out-
door use and consists of four stainless steel
tubes, holding several light sources.
It was decided by those working on the
project to integrate past and present in the
project new technologies and old light fit-
tings, creating a contemporary project that
respects tradition, giving life to a design
that originated from the notion of ‘conser-
vative renovation of light’.
The aim of this project was to make
citizens using the space feel safe and to
bring life back to this urban area, prompt-
ing visitors see a familiar area in a com-
pletely different light. All this arose from
a discreet, functional and well designed
lighting scheme, which maintained some of
the piazza’s original light fittings and cast
the surrounding buildings in a supportive,
economical light.
The carefully judged lighting level ensures
the surrounding buildings, such as the post
office palace and the savings bank, which
comprise the scenic background to the gar-
den, underlines the building’s formal iden-
tity and give them the relevant volumetric
155
element. The chosen lighting level does not
act to flatten the architecture.
What has been created is a nighttime in-
terpretation of the city, which changes the
perception of the urban area. Taking into
account the many roles the piazza plays, an
efficient lighting scheme has been de-
signed, utilising metal halide light sources
and street furniture LED sources, which are
long lasting and boast a minimum mainte-
nance cost.
Light has created a cohesion between the
important architectonic elements of the
square, restoring a dialogue between the
urban space and those who live in it, during
the day as well as the night, acting as an
emotional, sensory space, feeling critical to
well being.

THOUGHT PROVOKING
The new home of the Society of Christian Doctrine in Malta is a thoroughly modern structure devoted
entirely to thought and contemplation. L&L Luce&Light developed a fitting lighting scheme.

L&L Luce&Light, in cooperation with
architect Richard England and Light Design
Solutions in Malta, created Dar Il-Hanin
Samaritan, a futuristic new home for the
Society of Christian Doctrine, in Santa Ven-
era on Malta.
The modernist structure has been built in
reverence to Saint George Preca, an influ-
ential religious figure on the tiny Mediterra-
nean Island.
Preca was an inspirational religious icon
during the time when Malta was still part
of the British Empire and he still inspires
religious devotion to this day.
A lighting design was created to ensure that
the strikingly forward looking architecture
of the building stood out at night. The
lighting scheme emphasises the differing
shapes that form a critical part of the struc-
ture and the many changing and altering
perspectives that make the site such an
interesting building to wander through.
The lighting has been developed to highlight
and underline the sense of silence that is
found in the space. As this is a religious lo-
cation, the opportunity for thought, prayer
and contemplation has to be offered and
encouraged. The lighting scheme seeks to
calm and inspire, the soft colours creating
an atmosphere where it is easy to think and
contemplate, as thought is the principled
activity of those who use the building.

PARIS JE T’AIME
Inspired by the glamour of Saint-Tropez in the 1960s, the Hotel de Paris, located in the Cote d’Azur town,
features an inventive and economical lighting design from Crestron.
Built in the 1920s, the Hôtel de Paris,
located in the centre of Saint-Tropez, was
forgotten until renowned hotelier Claude
Dray decided to renovate it. The project
was orchestrated by the architect François
Vieillecroze.
One of the main innovations brought to the
hotel industry by the Hôtel de Paris was
the addition of automation systems in all
the guestrooms. The designer, Sybille de
Margerie decorated the rooms, using several
inspirational themes such as Saint-Tropez
and the arts and the 1960s era.
When the guest enters their room, a
welcoming and refined lighting scene is
automatically activated. The scenario can
then easily be changed via an engraved
keypad.
The Crestron lighting solutions enable the
staff to better manage guests in the hotel
as they can monitor the energy levels
of each guestroom and suites thanks to
occupancy warnings and alerts with the
‘Service’ or ‘Do not disturb’ button.
Guest requests are signaled via flashing
LEDs, replacing the bells of old, which
are reproduced in the corridors or at the
reception desk so that staff are much more
reactive to satisfy guest’s needs. Crestron
lighting solutions have also been installed
within the common areas, reception desk,
bar, restaurant and hotel lobby. Crestron
dimmers provide different lighting scene
settings according to the time of the day or
for special events.
Crestron enabled scene settings allowing
another opportunity to increase energy
savings. The Hôtel de Paris is equipped with
three meeting rooms that can be adapted
for different configurations and dimensions.
These meeting rooms are all equipped with
a Crestron DigitalMedia TM system. Three
iPads manage the control of the lighting,
audio and video in each of the meeting
rooms. The project installers, Energie Côté
Sud and Domotic helped realise the vision
given by Crestron and the investor.
“It was a great opportunity to implement
Crestron solutions in this hotel,” says Alexis
Nazarian, Sales Manager at Domotic.
“It meets the increasing demands within
the hotel industry to integrate automation
systems, not only for the comfort of the
guests but also to increase energy savings.”

VENICE AT NIGHT
Philips lighting and Litek worked together to bring a new lighting scheme to Venice, replacing antique light
sources with LED, casting a beautiful city in an entirely new light.
Venice is a city for lovers. An evening
spent traveling along the Canal Grande or
strolling through the spacious Piazza San
Marco is enhanced by a warm glow from
antique luminaires. So when it came time to
upgrade to a more energy-efficient lighting
solution, Venetians and historians, including
the Commission for the Architectural and
Landscape Heritage, got involved to see to
it that the exact lighting quality in all of
Venice was preserved.
Litek, the Italian provider of lighting
fixtures was commissioned for the project
and decided to use Philips Lumileds LEDs
within the fixtures after four years of
testing.
In partnering with Philips Lumileds, Litek
was able to deliver LED lighting that was
80% more efficient, yet maintained the
light quality (lumen output and colour
temperature) of the previous mercury
discharge lamp technology.
Piazza San Marco was designed for
people, a vast public space in the heart
of Venice. At night the perception of
notable architectural structures in the
piazza including the Basilica de San Marco,
the Torre dell’Orologio (Clock Tower) and
the Palazzo Ducale, is keenly affected by
the lighting. For this reason, it became
necessary to maintain the exact light quality
that was delivered by the mercury discharge
lamps of the past, when they were replaced
by energy-efficient LED lamps.
On the piazza, post-top luminaries were
fitted with LUXEON K high-lumen-density
arrays due to their high efficiency, ease of
use and low maintenance.
Along the Canal Grande, across the
Accademia Bridge and in the Rialto shopping
area, a second type of luminaire has been
used, which also utilised halogen bulbs.
The retrofit LED luminaires incorporate
LUXEON M high-flux-density emitters that
have been optimised for high efficiency and
consistent colour point. When the project
was completed, over 1,000 luminaries in
these areas had been retrofitted with LED
emitters.

REMAKING THE OFFICE
Solatube International have created an innovative and economical lighting scheme for DPR Construction’s
Phoenix Regional Office.
Solatube International, Inc the
manufacturer and marketer of Tubular
Daylighting Devices (TDDs), recently
played a large role in daylighting DPR
Construction’s Phoenix Regional Office.
The circa-1972 building has been officially
certified as a Net-Zero Energy Building
(NZEB) by the International Living Future
Institute (ILFI) through its Living Building
Challenge program. It has also received
LEED-NC Platinum certification from the
U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
DPR Construction is a national technical
builder specialising in highly complex and
sustainable projects.
Eight-two Solatube Daylighting Systems were
installed in the renovated 16,533-building,
formerly an abandoned retail boutique at
the corner of 44th Street and Van Buren in
Phoenix. In less than ten months, design-
build team researched, designed, permitted
and built a highly efficient and modern
workplace with numerous innovative
sustainability features.
“The use of Solatube Daylighting Systems
was an integral part of our sustainability
and lighting energy savings plans for the
renovated space,” said Dave Elrod, regional
manager, DPR Construction Phoenix.
“Solatube products are a cost-efficient
solution to provide lighting since they nearly
eliminate the need for artificial daytime
lighting.”
Other features of the office building include
an 87-foot, zinc clad solar chimney (releases
hot air from the building while drawing
cooler air in); shower towers that act as
evaporative coolers to regulate building
temperatures; 87 operable windows

164 THE IALD COLUMN
A NEW ENLIGHTENMENT
The IALD Enlighten Europe conference will take place in Berlin on 9-11 November hot on the heals of
successful events in Asia and North America.
The International Association of Lighting De-
signers (IALD) Enlighten conference will re-
turn to Europe - specifically, Berlin - on 9-11
November 2014. IALD is proud to expand its
portfolio of international programming on
the heels of the success of Enlighten Asia
2013, the first of IALD’s conferences in Asia,
and Enlighten Americas 2013, which drew a
record number of attendees.
The IALD Enlighten Europe Content Advisory
Group will meet during Light + Building to
finalize the roster of speakers and content
areas for the conference. This group is
chaired by Tad Trylski, Associate IALD, and
includes Enrique Peiniger, IALD; Gerd Pfar-
ré, FIALD; Anna Sbokou, Jr. Associate IALD;
and Andreas Schulz, IALD.
The educational sessions for IALD Enlighten
Europe will be organised into three dedi-
cated tracks (Art, Science and Professional
Tools), allowing attendees to focus on one
content area or to mix and match for a
bespoke conference experience that’s all
their own. IALD Enlighten conferences are
unique in the lighting-related conference
environment in that attendee numbers are
carefully curated based on host city and
venue to maintain a boutique feel. To en-
sure a quality experience, registration will
be limited to 500 attendees.
“We’re looking forward to bringing together
the European Content Advisory Group, com-
prised of an outstanding team of renowned
professionals, to shape a conference with
genuine European relevance and expertise,”
says Tad Trylski, Assoc. IALD. “IALD’s En-
lighten conferences are well known for the
quality of speakers, valuable content and
professional networking, and we now have
the exciting opportunity and responsibility
to build a specifically European conference
addressing the needs of the global lighting
design profession.”
Previously held in coordination with The
ARC Show in London, Enlighten Europe
2014 will be held in Berlin, Germany - and
will return to different cities in Europe on
even-numbered years.
Already confirmed for IALD Enlighten
Europe is a keynote presentation by one
of the founders of the globally heralded

design firm, seymourpowell. Founders
Richard Seymour and Dick Powell lead the
London-based group of award-winning
designers, and have produced some of the
milestone products of the last two decades.
seymourpowell’s Richard Seymour kicked off
IALD Enlighten Americas 2012 with a key-
note address that attendees called “power-
ful”, “inspiring”, and “amazing”. Providing
a fresh, non-lighting perspective to a room
full of industry professionals, Seymour’s
perspective on innovative product design
demonstrated how lighting professionals can
interpret and leverage their place in a de-
signed world. Attendees were abuzz about
the session throughout the conference, and
many noted it as one of the highlights of
the weekend.
IALD is also excited to bring other successful
elements of its Enlighten conferences to a
European audience at Enlighten Europe. The
conference series is heralded by attendees
as a unique opportunity to network with
their peers and become re-invigorated
by the power of light. Attendees can look
forward to connecting at exciting evening
events, as well as niche networking oppor-
tunities that appeal to their love of light.
“More than ever, the architectural lighting
design profession is in the spotlight for its
leadership in matters related to quality
of light,” says Gerd Pfarre, FIALD. “This
conference offers a great opportunity to
explore the power of light just as the world
165
begins preparations for the UNESCO Interna-
tional Year of Light in 2015.”
Lighting specifiers in attendance will also
have the opportunity to participate in Light-
ing Cross Talk, a unique chance to provide
feedback on the latest lighting products to
manufacturers in an intimate, focus group-
style environment. Attendees of Enlighten
conferences describe Cross Talk as “indis-
pensible” – a place where they can lead the
conversation rather than follow it.

166 TECHNOLOGY / BENCH TEST
David Morgan comes across Darklight’s Gantom IQ Micro Image Projector, the smallest
gobo projector on the market today, and finds it packs a much bigger punch than its small
size suggests.
SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL
In
the
words of the
early 20th century
Austrian economist Leopold
Kohr small is beautiful.
The founders of the American based
lighting company, Darklight, have followed
this simple idea - at least in part - by
creating a range that includes the smallest
LED gobo projectors that I have seen so
far. However, whilst they are small, but
not exactly beautiful, they are certainly
attractive.
Darklight was founded by three business
partners Quan Gan, his wife Charlie Xu,
and Jun Dong in spring of 2010 when they
operated the first Hallowe’en attraction in
mainland China.
Apparently they could not find any suitable
luminaires for the occasion and decided
to quickly develop and launch their own
using their diverse skills. Quan Gan
holds multiple engineering degrees from
UC Berkeley and Stanford University with a
focus in robotics, Xu has an art and design
background from Shanghai Tongji University,
while Dong has extensive manufacturing
experience as a former employee of Cree
and Tokistar.
Since then, the company has developed a
limited range of compact LED luminaires
including mini projectors, DMX controlled
colour changing projectors and gobo
projectors, whose primary markets are
amusement parks and museums.
Ceiling rings are also included in the range
to allow the luminaires to be recessed.
The most interesting product in the range is
the Gantom IQ Micro Image Projector. This
mini gobo projector is only 90mm long with
a 30mm diameter tubular body.
The perceived quality of this mini luminaire
is good, with a simple satin black machined
finish and neatly knurled angle adjustment
screws.
Even with a very cool white single 2.7
watt Cree XPG LED source the light output
is quite limited but at close range it can
provide quite dynamic effects under the
right ambient lighting conditions. The body
and lens holder seem to provide sufficient
heat sinking surface area so the body does
not get more than warm although I did
not investigate how effectively the LED is
thermally bonded to the body.
At a distance of three metres and with the
zoom set at 25 degrees the light level in the
centre beam is 35 lux.
The zoom lens adjusts from 25 to 40
degrees and is lockable with a couple of
small screws. The focusing adjustment is
made in the same way with two lockable
screws.
The quality of the lenses is not the highest
but perfectly adequate for the scale and
type of projects where this projector is
used.

As with all LED based gobo projectors
the user is able to make their own slides
using ink jet printers as there is so little
heat in the beam compared to halogen
projectors.
The 19mm diameter gobo is a custom size
but the usual gobo suppliers will produce
to this scale. As with all LED based gobo
projectors the user is now able to make
their own slides using ink jet printers as
there is so little heat in the beam compared
to halogen projectors. In this case the
resolution of the slide would need to be
high as the image is so tiny. Changing the
gobo is easy and involves unscrewing the
lens holder and removing a cover.
An integral constant current DC to DC driver
keeps the LED running at a safe level of
225mA. The DMX version has three channels
to control light intensity, strobe, candle
flicker and other pattern effects and thirdly
speed of pattern change.
Although Darklight claims an IP65 rating and
UL wet location listing for the luminaire,
the lens holder itself is not sealed so there
is nothing to prevent water and dust from
entering this area and settling on the lens
which over time will affect the light output.
167
The 12 VDC power input and DMX signal
connection are supplied with a simple non
IP rated power jack which also makes the IP
65 rating somewhat questionable.
The Gantom IQ Micro Image Projector is
an attractive luminaire for use in niche
applications where the miniature size will
enable it to be used where larger luminaires
might be too visible or out of scale.
Although giving the impression of being
almost toy-like, it actually creates bright,
well-defined images and effects for
professional applications making this a
successful addition to the Darklight range.

EXCELLING
FOR DESIGN
Five shows under one roof, the May Design Series returns
this year with an enhanced lighting design focus, and the
introduction of the new Designers With Light Forum.
Last year, over 10,000 visitors from across
the design and property sectors - including
interior designers, architects, retailers,
lighting designers and property managers -
flocked to ExCel in East London for May De-
sign Series. The concept was simple: bring
together key players from complementary
disciplines and allow their respective audi-
ences to explore the worlds beyond their
immediate industry. This year the show is
doubling in size as the popular Interiors
Birmingham show joins the line-up, under
its new name The Furniture Show.
Lighting is once again a key segment of the
event, with products on show from a host
of high-end architectural and decorative
brands including: iGuzzini, Concord,
Innermost, acdc, Megaman, Xicato, KKDC,
Lumenpulse, Kreon, MONO, Led Linear, LED
Light Sheet, Rako, Modiss, Grunzell, Brick

sulating Light + Building), Bethan Ryder,
Luxury News Editor, Telegraph Luxury
(collating the best bits of Maison et Objet
Paris), Johnny Tucker, Editor, Blueprint
(unearthing the gems at Milan) and Tobi-
as Lutz, Managing Director, Architonic
(rounding up IMM Cologne).
With up to 60 different companies getting
involved, the feature will demonstrate the
best in up and coming new design as well
as showcasing a vast blend of design talent
from across Europe.
In addition, a brand new lighting design

The Designers With Light Forum is a new type of lighting
design conference that will bring different design
professionals together to talk about light.
There are many lighting conferences
and seminars across the world. However,
the majority appear to be by the light-
ing industry for the lighting industry.
The Designers With Light Forum will
offer a more diverse range of presenta-
tions by reaching out to design profes-
sionals outside the lighting industry as
well as within. Presenters will include
Lighting Designers, Architects, Product
Designers, Manufacturers and Interior
Designers. A select band of profession-
als who have different experiences of
working with light.
The goal of the Designers With Light
Forum is to combine an exceptional
conference programme with a unique
networking platform that brings togeth-
er individuals and companies who have
not previously had the opportunity to all
meet in one space.
The conference provides an informative
schedule of highly prolific speakers
which in turn brings a distinguished
list of attendee’s benefiting everyone
involved.
WHO WILL ATTEND?
Lighting Designers, Architects, Prod-
uct Designers, Manufacturers, Interior
Designers, Engineers, Retailers, Property

226 INSPIRATIONS / #24 CLAUDIA KAPPL ,. CLL
CLL.CONCEPT
. CONCEPTLIGHTING
LIGHTINGLAB
LAB CURATED BY

Like the last Back Page, this edition is also based on the idea that what inspires us is already around us, should we choose to
look, and our friend Claudia Kappl of Concept Lighting Lab has chosen to use an image of her local surroundings to illustrate
what it is about light that inspires her. She is lucky enough to live and work under the vast Arizona sky and we are jealous of
her unrestricted access to such an incredible shifting and changing backdrop for life. Claudia says: “Most often my inspiration
derives from the experience of a short and epiphanal moment during the day. A moment where light catches my attention
and stops me in my tracks. A moment where light is comforting or glaring, sudden or subtle, poetic or harsh. The impact of this
moment becomes inspirational and leaves me filled with wonder or joy. It depends on the ‘becoming aware’, ‘the register-
ing’ of the presence of (or lack of) light in its manifold ways. To that extent, what inspires me about light has a lot to do with
‘learning to see’.”
