Luminis’ Lumistik family of LED products leads the contemporary lighting scheme that carries through to other areas of the Rochester Hills, Michigan residence. Lumistik luminaires illuminate the study and lounge areas on the top floor and basement, and Luminis’ Aramis pendants the 400-seat cafeteria and dining hall.\r\n\r\nThe whole architecture of the facility has a contemporary feel. A mix of glass walls and wooden walls offset the brightly colored chairs and couches. But it’s the lighting that catches the eye and illuminates all areas for the 750 students that call it home.\r\n\r\nArchitects and school planners sought to provide a full-service living and learning environment, set against the natural surroundings of the campus. Built into a hill, the main entrance brings guests into the 3rd floor lobby, and to the top of the ‘Monumental Stairs’. This leads guests down to the main dining hall, classrooms and study spaces. As its name implies, the expansive staircase is the focal point and the heart of the building.\r\n\r\nLumistik CL642 fixtures are what gives the Monumental Stairs its wow factor. The ceiling mounted pendants form two dramatic paths down the staircase from the third floor to the first. Lumistik’s LED light source is contained in an acrylic sealed cylinder that is designed to provide a uniform column of illumination. It makes an impactful design statement while providing functional light for the students moving down the staircase to the subterranean levels.\r\n\r\n“The Lumistik luminaires make an impact even before you enter the building,” said Andy Meteer, principal at Clarus Lighting, Luminis’ representative and a member of the project sales team. “Placement of the fixtures ensures you can see them through the large glass windows when you come in from the driveway and parking lot. Once inside, the design called for staggering the stem lengths to adapt for the elevation changes as you descend the staircase. The goal was to ensure the luminaires are visible through the glass panes of the upper  corridor.”\r\n\r\nThe Lumistik CL642 pendant was also selected to light a large lounge/study area on the upper floor of the building. The tubular Lumistik fixtures work well with the bright lounge furniture to create a welcoming and communal environment. This space, too, is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, so the luminaires are visible from the ground below. This offers a consistent lighting aesthetic when viewed from the exterior.\r\n\r\n“This is a very large residence,” said Meteer. “Beyond the aesthetics, the project required that we choose low-maintenance, energy efficient luminaires. And, of course all lighting needed to ensure the safety and security of the students.” \r\n\r\nLumistik products are high performance LEDs that will be easy to maintain and keep energy costs in check in the long run.\r\n\r\nLumistik CL622 pendants, which have a shorter 27” acrylic diffuser versus the 51” on the Lumistik CL642, were utilized to light one of the multi-purpose/study areas in the first floor (basement) level. The room is flanked by two walls of two-level windows, but the space is below ground, so ensuring adequate light for students to meet and work was paramount. The white translucent acrylic diffuser successfully illuminates the space to create a bright and productive environment. And mimicking the lighting intent of the Monumental Stairs, the luminaires are suspended so they are visible from the upper corridor windows. \r\n\r\nThe expansive dining hall is laid out in a series of pods to create an atmosphere that is more community and less cafeteria. Overhead lighting in an area of the hall is provided by Luminis’ Aramis family. The pendants are suspended from the high industrial ceiling to a level that provides appropriate lighting to the tables below. Aramis was selected to compliment the surrounding design elements and keep a consistency in lighting throughout the basement level. This luminaire, too, is an energy-efficient high-performance LED fixture that will require minimal maintenance in the years to come.\r\n\r\n“The feedback from this entire project has been very positive,” concluded Meteer. “The space is beautiful. And the lighting creates a dramatic but inviting atmosphere in a modern, state-of-the-art facility.”\r\n\r\nProject Name: Oakland University Hillcrest Hall\r\nSpecifier: Peter Basso & Associates – Gerard Hentrich\r\nDesign/Build Contractor – Advantage Electric & Controls – Fred Calandrino/Brian Campbell\r\nElectrical Distributor – Caniff Electric Supply – Sue Morgan/Lenny Lovalvo\r\nLuminis Agent: Clarus Lighting & Controls\r\nPhotography: John D’Angelo', 'https://www.luminis.com/inspiration/featured-projects/eye-catching-illumination-for-an-innovative-univ', 'Luminis-Oakland-University-Hillcrest-Hall_small.jpg', 'Luminis Oakland University Hillcrest Hall', 'Oakland University Hillcrest Hall, Rochester Hills, MI, USA', 'Project Oakland University Hillcrest Hall is located in Rochester Hills, MI, USA.

The purpose of our intervention was to light the works on display in the museum, using a precise light capable of focusing on every detail and colour on the canvases. In the same way, a more diffused light illuminates the rest of the room during the meetings and conferences organised for the public. The dual nature of the location is thereby highlighted with the right lighting and intensity.\r\n\r\nThe products selected for the project are extremely high performance in terms of colour rendering thanks to the new Fidelty diode with CRI98 and very high TM30 values. The purpose of the selected lighting is to highlight in a soft and almost theatrical way, and with quality, the canvases exhibited in the room. \r\n\r\nThe selected products: Iris_T and Pound are both perfect for museum lighting thanks, not only to the high colour rendering, but also the the extreme versatility with the possibility of different apertures of the optics. The aim of the lighting project is to meet the various needs of the space. In fact, on one hand, we have the need to light the individual works on display, very different from one another in size and lighting needs, whereas on the other, we need to light the museum environment, creating the right atmosphere during times of sharing such as meetings and conferences. \r\n\r\nIris_T, is a three-phase binary spotlight perfect for any museum type lighting thanks to the extremely high colour rendering. The graduated focus-on-board ring nut with various apertures of the optics allowed the right quantity of light to be provided for the works, dimmable on the single light and adjusted thanks to the dim-on-board mechanism.

There are several legends surrounding its origins, but the first historical mention of the Boudha stupa date back to the fifth century AD. In April 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal, destroying the stupa. Following the appeal launched by guru Gong Qiao to rebuild it, the disciples of the Guru Banma Charity Foundation took on the task of providing lighting for the complex. From above, Boudhanath looks like an enormous mandala, the geometric figure containing numerous other geometric figures that is one of the main symbols of Vedic culture. As in all Tibetan mandalas, four Dhyāna-Buddhas (constructions with Buddha eyes) mark the four cardinal points. The fifth Buddha, Vairocana, is placed in the centre, on the dome’s white hemisphere. All the numbers found in this stupa have symbolic significance. Each Buddha is the embodiment of one of the five elements – earth, water, fire, air and either. The nine levels represent the mythical Mount Meru, the centre of the cosmos in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. The thirteen rings from the base to the pinnacle symbolise the path to enlightenment, or “Bodhi”, the term which gives the stupa its name. At the bottom, the two circular plinths supporting the hemisphere of the stupa symbolise water. The goal of the project was to provide uniform lighting so the building would stand out on the landscape without creating light pollution. This was achieved with MaxiWoody spotlights installed on poles on all four sides of the building. The spotlights’ 12° optics fitted with cylindrical anti-glare screens are aimed at different heights so that they illuminate the dome and the square tower topped by a 13-step pyramid symbolising the ‘stairway’ to enlightenment. Lastly, the golden canopy representing air and the spire representing ether are lit at a colour temperature of 3000 K.

This was Zumtobel’s challenge as the company worked alongside architect Cristiana Cutrona of Revalue, together with lighting designer Consuline and electrical designer BRE Engineering.\r\n\r\nThe particular location and the objective to guarantee as constant and homogeneous a light throughout the day as possible were the driving force behind the company’s search for an innovative solution, while also taking into consideration the very structure of the building where the project was carried out.\r\n\r\nThe Edison trading room is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is located inside a historic building in Foro Buonaparte dominated by a beautiful glass dome in full art nouveau style. The aim of the project was to ensure that the offices would be illuminated after sunset, in a similar way to the sunlight that filters through during the day.\r\n\r\nThis was made possible by tunableWhite technology that enables to change the colour temperature of the light and the luminous intensity: Zumtobel\'s solution guarantees the 24-hour circadian rhythm imposed by natural light on our biological clock in offices. In the morning the light is warm, then becomes white and more intense, and finally returns to the tones of the beginning of the day.\r\n\r\nA study of the particular structure of the building, dominated by the glass and iron dome, led to the use of two products by Zumtobel: TECTON and CRAFT. These industrial lights are usually for office use but their special versatility was crucial. The large window is supported by a metal structure on which it was not possible to carry out any operation or installation, and is also covered by another glass dome that protects it.\r\n\r\nCentrally, the metal structure was used as a load-bearing structure in which the pre-electrified TECTON channel was housed, to which the TECTON C lamp was then attached with tunableWhite sources to provide variation in the white tone. In addition, the indirect light perimeter light groove was used to house the TECTON channel with the same lamp. TECTON is an extremely versatile product, with split technology lenses in a continuous row without optical interruptions. Its efficiency reaches 149 lm/W, with colour rendering of Ra 80. The split lens cuts the light in half and concentrates it in the two side parts. This reduces the central intensity. The luminaire is less dazzling, but does not sacrifice the photometric curve.\r\n\r\nThe other product used is CRAFT. The CRAFT with tunableWhite sources were placed within the two domes to illuminate the coloured dome and give the effect of natural light. Thanks to the coloured glass, this solution also creates the effect of particular plays of light that arise not only with natural light but also with artificial light.\r\n\r\nThe result of this operation was the fruit of rigorous and precise calculation and field tests to achieve the objective of providing the sensation that a light capable of replicating the natural sun would filter through the coloured dome in the evening and also in winter.', 'http://www.lightlive.com/en/20181105-lighting-for-the-edison-trading-room-in-milan/', 'Zumtobel-Edison-trading-room_small.jpg', 'Zumtobel Edison trading room', 'Edison trading room, Milan, Italy', 'Project Edison trading room is located in Milan, Italy.

Comprehensive Zumtobel financing services and a complete-supply package have helped STEP-G benefit from a tailored lighting solution without major investment costs – and without major effort. When it comes to quality checks, the COESA luminaire ticks all the boxes with its unique lighting for surface inspections – something to which STEP-G, as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of extruded aluminium profiles, attaches particular importance.\r\n\r\nEnter the STEP-G production hall in Bitterfeld and you immerse yourself in pure and daylight-bright lighting. Uniform light reaches into every corner of the room and is brilliantly reflected in the aluminium profiles that are manufactured here. Yet this application manages to simultaneously prioritise high lighting quality with high product quality, thanks to the unique technology of the COESA luminaire. With its high-contrast light lines, this solution specifically helps workers who are tasked with inspecting the surfaces of the finished profiles. This is outstanding quality – in terms of both the lighting and the premium products for which STEP-G has become famous the world over.\r\n\r\nThe international aluminium specialist was keen to modernise their existing lighting solution – without having to budget for high initial purchase costs. Wishful thinking? In the past, perhaps. But not anymore. Now financing services from Zumtobel make this possible. Instead of simply buying Zumtobel luminaires, STEP-G has chosen to lease the entire lighting solution over a defined time period. And so light becomes a service, meaning that STEP-G no longer has to think about hefty initial investment costs. Plus the company remains completely flexible when it comes to lighting and can benefit straight away from new and innovative lighting solutions. This is a true turnkey project, as Zumtobel has looked after the entire project management – starting with the supply of materials and going on to include installation, interface coordination, commissioning and regular inspections. And all this from one single source. \"With the financing offer from Zumtobel Services, STEP-G no longer has to think about lighting and quality for the entire term of the contract,\" confirmed Daniel Weber, Project Manager Turnkey at Zumtobel.\r\n\r\nThe STEP-G plant in Bitterfeld, where extruded aluminium profiles are manufactured, tested and processed, is now illuminated by a modern lighting solution that supports both the production and the all-important surface inspections. This is where COESA, the first-ever LED quality-control luminaire from Zumtobel, really comes into its own. The fitting combines colour temperature contrasts with precise colour lines to enable flawless surface illumination. A blend of neutral and cold-white colour temperatures, arranged longitudinally, is reflected in the aluminium profiles in a linear and high-contrast way to create the optimum environment for casting a careful eye over the shiny surfaces. When the quality is flawless, observers viewing the metal at a specific angle see a clean reflection made up of perfect linear lines. Yet if something is not quite right, the lines are suddenly interrupted or distorted. This produces a reflection that appears warped and uneven and therefore helps make sure that any defects and irregularities are detected immediately. Workers can then react right away and remove any faulty aluminium profiles before shipment. Simple. And most definitely effective.\r\n\r\nThe tried-and-tested TECTON LED continuous-row lighting system from Zumtobel provides general illumination in the halls, while CRAFT LED high-bay luminaires deliver precise light from above. With high light levels optimised for high ceilings and excellent thermal management, CRAFT is ideally equipped for just these kinds of industrial sites. Potentially tricky atmospheric issues are also easily overcome, as this powerful solution has been engineered to minimise the amount of dust and dirt that gathers on the luminaire.\r\n\r\nZumtobel has used this new solution to markedly improve the lighting quality and thereby make a real difference in the production halls. The overall lighting level has increased – no matter where you are in the factory. There has been a positive effect on employee fatigue. Flickering light has become a thing of the past. And compared to the previous installation, the solution is now much more efficient – both in terms of lighting technology and energy. \"A carefully planned lighting solution has enabled us to significantly simplify important jobs for the employees, especially in the key area of surface inspection,\" confirmed Gerhard Backhaus, Project Manager at Zumtobel. \"The enhanced visibility allows any defects to be identified and rectified straight away.\" \r\n\r\n\"The whole project and the entire cooperation went very smoothly.

The iconic sails are a beacon for art and design through its innovative lighting displays, whilst the site itself is an acclaimed performance venue, host to more than 1,800 events each year.\r\n\r\nWithin the Concert Hall at one of the world’s most recognized and celebrated buildings, lighting engineers were faced with the considerable challenge of maintaining an aging system experiencing regular transformer failures and decreasing efficiency as they were coming to the end of their usable life. The traditional 250W halogen lamps were obsolete and increasingly difficult to find.\r\n\r\nLED was a logical consideration to utilise new advancements in lighting technology, in addition to the benefits of long-term energy savings. After having completed several successful projects within the Opera House, Lumascape offered their expertise in LED lighting systems to ultimately develop a custom solution that would meet the needs of the Concert Hall. The project was managed in-house by the Sydney Opera House projects group.\r\n\r\nLumascape created a plan that met the specialized artistic, aesthetic and sustainability needs of the Opera House. Lumascape understood that a new lighting solution would only be successful if it adhered to the building’s strict architectural and performance heritage requirements. Aesthetically, the housings needed to remain intact, not changing the look or feel of the Concert Hall.\r\n\r\nSmooth, flicker-free, ‘fade to black’ dimming was a critical feature of the luminaire and lighting controls design, ensuring the Concert Hall would evoke the same feelings audiences have come to expect from performances. Individual LEDs of red, blue, green, white and amber were mixed to achieve a CRI above 97, dimming from bright white to a warm orange glow to black with the same intensity and color as incandescent. The end result perfectly mimicked the traditional lighting aesthetic, evoking the nostalgic feeling of the original hall.\r\n\r\nThe addition of RGB capabilities and subsequent improvements have added a new dimension to Concert Hall performances, delighting performers and audiences alike. Now considered a ‘next generation’ venue, the different effects and control of individual color channels make the concert hall an attractive site for a wider variety of performances. Performers are also pleased to know they can record performances at 1080HD without the presence of banding lines caused by slower frequency dimming LEDs.\r\n\r\nThe upgrade to LED technology, which took nearly two years to develop and implement, has offered significant benefits beyond aesthetic values to maximize energy savings across the entire facility. Ultimately, three types of luminaires were developed; a lower level fitting (70W — replaced 250W) over the boxes, high-level house lights within the stalls, and crown lights (200W – replaced 1,000W) directly above the stage. Benefits of the upgrade include:\r\n\r\n• 75% reduction in electricity consumption, with estimated savings of about $70,000 a year;\r\n• Greatly reduced need for staff to work in confined ceiling spaces to replace lights (5 times a year before upgrade);\r\n• Increased capacity to create ambient and specific lighting effects, without the cost of hanging additional lights; and\r\n• Removal of about four tonnes of air-conditioning ducting, thanks to less heat being generated.\r\n\r\nFor the project, Lumascape was bestowed the coveted Product Innovation Award in 2015, for the advancement of the art and science of lighting. The Concert Hall project was also a finalist in the prestigious New South Wales government’s 2014 Green Globe Awards, which recognises organisations who show outstanding environmental and sustainability leadership.\r\n\r\n\r\nCategory: Theatre Lighting\r\n\r\nLocation: Sydney, Australia\r\n\r\nCompletion Date: 18th March 2016', 'https://lumascape.com/portfolio/theatre-lighting/sydney-opera-house-concert-hall', 'Lumascape-Sydney-Opera-House-Concert-Hall_small.jpg', 'Lumascape Sydney Opera House Concert Hall', 'Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, Sydney, Australia', 'Project Sydney Opera House Concert Hall is located in Sydney, Australia.

(634, 'ZTB012', 94, 'FHNW Campus', 'Muttenz, Switzerland', 'The latest addition to the FHNW Campus Muttenz in Switzerland is certainly impressive: a cube-shaped building with an edge length of almost 65 metres that rises up to catch the eye from far and wide. Designed by pool Architekten, this is a simple and yet simultaneously monumental construction. And one that is purely devoted to education and research. Zumtobel joined forces with lighting designers from Reflexion to engineer a new luminaire for this extraordinary building: the FREELINE.\r\n\r\nIt is a real powerhouse. A striking new building created by the Swiss pool Architekten studio for the University of Applied Sciences Muttenz in Switzerland. Flanked by a tree-lined park and with an extensive forecourt, the 65-metre-tall cube looms over the neighbouring railway tracks. The copper-coloured façade shines invitingly in the sun. And inside, two spectacular atriums offer stunning views up to the sky – all framed by a potent yet uncomplicated style of architecture. There is hustle and bustle everywhere, but that is no real surprise. Zumtobel has developed the FREELINE luminaire with the Swiss lighting design agency Reflexion und pool Architekten for this bastion of knowledge and understanding – a solution that has now become part of our special collection known as the editions.\r\n\r\n\"The architecture of the new building is extremely rigorous and has a strong graphic quality,\" reported Thomas Mika, Managing Director of Reflexion and the person responsible for the lighting concept of the university building. \"So we opted to integrate all the luminaires as far as possible into the existing elements.\" This move emphasises the simplicity of the monumental construction, in which a visible concrete support structure and, in stark contrast, the use of warming wood combine to set the overall tone of the project. Ramp-like staircases with a width of almost three metres form an architectural focal point. They traverse the atrium and stretch up to the two auditorium levels on the first and second floors. Almost like sculptures. \r\n\r\n“For a project of this size, the lighting concept needs a main layer that connects the different rooms across the entire building and weaves itself into the architecture,” explained Mika. The ribbed concrete ceilings define the office, seminar and laboratory rooms, along with the corridors of the new university building, from the third to the twelfth floor. Reflexion opted to insert a linear luminaire between each of the ribs, enabling the spaces to be characterised by uniformity in terms of both light density and lighting design. Rather than just a simple two-dimensional band of light, the planners wanted to use contoured three-dimensional illumination to accentuate the architecture and, at the same time, light up the workspaces.\r\n\r\nFREELINE really impresses with its simple elegance. The shape of the luminaire is determined by nothing more than a slim aluminium U-profile and a PMMA diffuser, with the control gear stored remotely to enable a truly miniaturised design. “A three-dimensional light-emitting surface is needed to create light with a real physical presence,\" pointed out Mika. \"However, lateral light-emitting surfaces are especially problematic in office applications, as people want to work in a glare-free environment.\" The FREELINE features a primary and secondary optic to solve this tricky issue. The primary optic consists of a high-performance lens, which pools the light from the LED band, and a diffuser, which precisely directs the light to the emission surface at the bottom of the aluminium profile. The secondary micro-prismatic optic (MPO) guarantees the kind of accurate light control required in office applications. Thomas Mika from Reflexion was very positive about the whole design process: \"The cooperation with Zumtobel was both a creative and a technical triumph. And that is what really sets Zumtobel apart: the ideas and plans of the client are implemented accurately and with great sensitivity.\"\r\n\r\nThe FREELINE definitely lives up to its name at the University of Applied Sciences, where more than 13 kilometres of the solution stretch through the new building.\r\n\r\nPhotography: Faruk Pinjo', 'http://www.lightlive.com/en/20190214-thirteen-kilometres-of-light-for-science/', 'Zumtobel-FHNW-Campus_small.jpg', 'Zumtobel FHNW Campus', 'FHNW Campus, Muttenz, Switzerland', 'Project FHNW Campus is located in Muttenz, Switzerland.

(637, 'ZTB013', 94, 'Europejski Hotel', 'Warsaw, Poland', 'Interior lighting is an important part of the concept of the Europejski Hotel in Warsawa, fulfilling both a utility and an illumination function. Specialists from Zumtobel Group Lighting Polska were invited to create just that. Working closely with architects and investors, they created an ideal solution - confirming over 90 years of Zumtobel Group\'s experience, creating customized lighting projects that combine beauty and the latest solutions in the field of energy efficiency.\r\n\r\nMost of the solutions provided by Zumtobel Group Polska were made specifically for this project. Thanks to the wide range of lighting solutions of the brands Zumtobel and acdc, it was possible to use adapted version of the standard luminaires as well as custom products that met a number of important requirements, e.g. specific color of light, aesthetically blending into the surroundings, as well as working with a specific control system. No less important was the lighting design, which will provide the highest comfort and a sense of relaxation for guests.\r\n\r\nZumtobel’s PANOS downlight series\r\n\r\nIn all rooms and corridors, Zumtobel’s PANOS downlight series was used (which is only 68 mm in diameter). The assumption was that the lighting should aesthetically blend into the ceiling. Therefore, the luminaires used in the rooms are kept in white and mounted in the \"trimless\" mounting system. \r\n\r\nIn the case of rooms with mirrored ceilings, special versions of fittings were made to match the color of the glass. They have warm color of light with a color temperature of 2500-2700 K, which was one of the basic requirements of the interior designers.\r\n\r\nThe second most commonly used type of lighting in the building are all lighting accents in LED technology. In kilometers, you can count the number of linear lighting systems used to highlight individual elements in rooms, places of art exhibition, and to emphasize architectural accents. The control system used allows guests to create various light scenes according to their preferences or mood. Modern LED technology worked great here because of the minimalism and discretion of assembly as well as efficiency. For the Ballroom, a dedicated solution was created from scratch. The luminaire had to harmoniously match the multi-level wooden suspended ceiling in which the special lighting openings were designed. The light emitted from the luminaires had to be homogeneous. Due to the various functions of the room, the solution had to allow for changing the light scenes and for adjusting the color of light from warm (2700 K) to cold (6500 K). Experts from the special products department at Zumtobel dealt with this task. They proposed a solution that would meet all the requirements of architects. Luminaires based on a dedicated light module allowing for full regulation of light color were used. At the same time, they ensure proper acoustic parameters, and the satin finish used allows you to avoid reflections.\r\n\r\nInterplay with artistic chandeliers\r\n\r\nIn the exclusive zone of the bar and cigar club, as well as in the rooms adjacent to them, the basic requirement was to create an atmosphere of relaxation. A special lighting solution has been used to provide discreet lighting with an unusual, very warm, 2200K color, blending perfectly with the interior design.\r\n\r\nIn the entrance zone, the challenge was to highlight the light installations made by the Czech artist and the interplay with artistic chandeliers. This is where Zumtobel Group brand acdc came in.\r\n\r\nExperts from Zumtobel are specialized in lighting museum objects. The portfolio includes such projects as the Chopin Museum in Żelazowa Wola or the Museum of Warsaw at the Old Market Square in Warsaw. With great commitment, therefore, they started designing lighting in Memory Rooms located on each floor of the hotel. In these places you can see historical artifacts and photos of the object itself. In this case, it was necessary to use rarely used fiber optic technology for the sake of exhibits. As an accent lighting, Zumtobel developed a modular exhibition lighting system called SUPERSYSTEM. It is worth paying attention to the glass cases standing in the lobby next to the entrance, which are also illuminated with this system. It consists of miniature low voltage busbars, in which you can attach projectors with a diameter of only 23 mm. These projectors have allowed for very precise lighting of objects, and also provide considerable opportunities to modify the luminous flux due to additional accessories. The SUPERSYSTEM lighting tool allows for simple adjustment of the light to possible changes in the exposure.\r\n\r\nEuropejski Hotel is one of the most complex lighting projects in Poland\r\n\r\nThe lighting solution at the Europejski Hotel is one of the most demanding and complex lighting projects in Poland. The choice of Zumtobel Group, the European leader in the lighting of culture and art as well as hotel facilities and wellness, was conducted by design experience and a wide range of dedicated fittings and flexibility in adapting and creating new lighting and control solutions.\r\n\r\nIt should be emphasized that the unusual effect of the interior lighting of the building is the result of close cooperation between WWAA architects, APA Wojciechowski and designers and technologists from Zumtobel Group Lighting Polska. Thanks to it, one of the most complex architectural, lighting and technological challenges is able to impress guests from the first sight and emphasize the feeling of exclusivity and comfort of space.', 'http://www.lightlive.com/en/20190225-lighting-chic/', 'Zumtobel-Europejski-Hotel_small.jpg', 'Zumtobel Europejski Hotel', 'Europejski Hotel, Warsaw, Poland', 'Project Europejski Hotel is located in Warsaw, Poland.

The monolithic 40-story structure, designed by Dame Zaha Hadid, consists of two towers blended together with internal voids through its center to create a window connecting the hotel’s interior communal space with the outside city.\r\n\r\nThe unique nature of the exoskeleton concept provided an intricate and challenging canvas for Isometrix, the project’s lead lighting designer, to incorporate lighting fixtures. The exoskeleton has many free-form structures and integrating powerful luminaires to up-light the morphing shapes within each bay was the main challenge. This involved multiple calculations, studies and mock-ups to develop luminaires just right for this application.\r\n\r\nLumacape designed the custom solutions to deliver uniformity and consistency of light across the entire façade while blending into the exoskeleton.  To meet such challenging requirements, Lumascape developed unique optics to light the inside of the exoskeleton, enhancing the three dimensional form, while not allowing any direct light into the windows behind.\r\n\r\nAfter numerous sample submittals and mock-ups, CLA, Lumascape partner in Asia, was awarded the supply and installation contract, using luminaires from Lumascape incorporating the PowerSync™ proprietary technology.

The entire lighting concept for the project was tailor-made by Osram to highlight all the treasures of the world\'s most important and historic basilica. More than 780 special luminaires equipped with approximately 100,000 LEDs were used in this project. Thanks to intelligent lighting control, the lighting of the church, which covers an area of around 22,000 square meters, can be quickly and easily adapted to predefined lighting scenarios. With the new LED light, for example, the mosaics in the domes of the side aisles now can be seen down to the smallest detail. Numerous works of art that previously disappeared in semi-darkness now shine in all their glory.\r\n\r\n“We are very proud of this lighting masterpiece in St. Peter’s Basilica,” said Olaf Berlien, CEO of OSRAM Licht AG. “The project demonstrates just how history and high tech can be combined in the best possible way by using the right expertise. More than 500 years of history are now being bathed in digitally controlled LED light.” \r\n\r\n“This project provides a significant service, both to art lovers and to those who come on pilgrimage to this symbol of Catholicism. We are pleased that a special light has been cast on this important location – thanks to the new illumination,” says S.E. Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello, President of the Governorate of the Vatican City State. \r\n\r\n“The Basilica’s new lighting system fits in perfectly with the requirements for worship, prayer and celebration – particularly when the Holy Father is in attendance. At the same time, this ‘intelligent’ illumination has also allowed us to achieve another purpose: to be able to admire the architectural beauty of the Basilica,” says S.E. Cardinal Angelo Comastri, Archpriest of the Vatican Pope\'s Basilica of St. Peter. \r\n\r\n“This project involved collaboration between the Technical Services of the Governorate and Osram. Together, they made up a unique team that succeeded, thanks to all its experience, in implementing a huge and unique project,” says Mons. Don Rafael Garcia De La Serrana Villalobos, Director of Technical Services of the Governorate of the Vatican City State. \r\n\r\nThe innovative LED illumination with high spectral quality and efficient photometric distribution has significantly reduced glare. Due to their special geometry and compact dimensions, the luminaires could be optimally integrated into the architecture. The number of luminaires also has been significantly reduced thanks to their efficiency. Together with the digital control system, energy savings of up to 90 percent are possible compared with the old lighting. \r\n\r\nThe new LED lighting emphasizes the masterpieces inside the sacred building, such as the mosaics covering more than 10,000 square meters, and also enables visitors to read without straining their eyes. Previously, the domes in the small side aisles, among other things, were almost unlit; now the new lighting concept will set the stage for them in the best possible way. Details that have never been visible before in the 500-year history of St. Peter\'s Basilica, details that even art experts were unaware of, now can be seen without disturbing reflections.   \r\n\r\nThe digital control system allows specific lighting scenarios to be selected, created or modified. Thanks to the new lighting, it is now also possible to transmit television images in high and ultra-high resolution settings with 4K or 8K.   \r\n\r\nAll the installation work was carried out by the Vatican City\'s Technical Directorate, which, among other things, made important recommendations on the original project in close cooperation with the Cathedral Construction Works of St. Peter\'s.   \r\n\r\nSt. Peter\'s Basilica is 190 meters long and is visited daily by 27,000 visitors. The three ships each have a width of 58 meters; the central nave measures almost 46 meters at the highest point of the vault. The dome is about 137 meters high.

Developed as luxury offices by Pontiac Land Group in 1996, it boasts panoramic views of the city and the building is famed for its instantly recognisable pyramid crest. However, with competition growing in the city’s rising skyline, Pulsar was selected to supply the LED Lighting for this Singapore tower, and help them outshine their competition.\r\n\r\nPontiac Land Group approached Magic Monkey lighting designer Marc Largent to design a LED lighting scheme for Millenia Tower that would interact with events during the annual National Day Parade in 2015, located only a short distance away.\r\n\r\nLargent called on various lighting manufacturers to submit proposals that would fill the ‘pixel dimensions’ of the building’s apex. The pyramid’s 41m height is split into 4 tiers and it was requested that the lights were to illuminate a column-width of mesh up to the height of the next level.\r\n\r\nThis was an all-round challenging brief; fitting the split pyramid dimensions so precisely whilst ensuring no light escaped these dimensions certainly required some innovative thinking.\r\n\r\nThe client also requested that the the light sources stay hidden. This gave the task an extra level of complexity as Pulsar searched for clever ways to conceal our products.\r\n\r\nOur R&D team developed a custom Lens Plate and Snoot for the ChromaFlood 200 to fit the pixel dimensions of the pyramid exactly and prevent direct light escaping from the fixtures. Following various LED lighting tests in Singapore examining beam-angle and light output, the solution offered by Pulsar was chosen because of its superior light distribution, ability to produce any shade and colour temperature of white, and industry-leading smooth dimming.\r\n\r\nA QuickLink integrated cable-management solution allowed us to address and configure the fixtures remotely, making hidden light sources possibile. As a bonus, this single lead carrying both power and DMX data also provided a considerable saving on installation time and cost.\r\n\r\nThe LED lights are controlled by a state-of-the-art system supplied by d3 Technologies that feeds through Pulsar’s data distribution infrastructure of 14 DS5 DMX Splitters. These lead on to 40 of our ChromaZone dimmable LED drivers and 368 ChromaFlood 200s.\r\n\r\nThe building now has an impressive 608 Pulsar ChromaRange LED fixtures, comprising 368 TriColour ChromaFlood200s in the Apex and 240 TriColour Chroma AR111 LED dimmable downlights in the windows on the four corners directly below the pyramid.

The Luxeos units were chosen as one of the only products durable enough to survive in the scorching heat and dust of the desert, and due to the product’s best-in-class light quality.\r\n\r\nNetherled’s installation uses a control system as impressive as the light fixtures themselves. All the lights can be controlled individually, and the standard programs can be overridden for special events. Over such a large area, the control of individual luminaires produces some unique and stunning results. Pulsar’s Luxeos 36 floodlights have on board RDM (remote device management) software, and the customer is using this to gather and monitor data about the performance and lifetime of the fixtures.\r\n\r\nThe layout of the site posed some challenges, as all the luminaires had to be situated on the ground rather than attached to the building. Even with some of the light fixtures situated as far away as 160 metres from the building itself and others right next to the façade, Pulsar’s HBS (Holographic Beam Shaping) technology made it possible to get a uniform spread of light. HBS technology uses thin sheets of highly efficient diffuser materials to shape the light beams, which meant each light fixture could produce the exact spread of light needed.\r\n\r\nThe lights were further customised, with each finished in an oyster white colour to help them blend in with the surroundings and look discreet in the day time.

Contracted by the City of Winterthur, a consortium of renowned engineers, architects, landscape architects and lighting designers (Müller & Truniger, Zurich; Dr. Lüchinger + Meyer, Zurich; Krebs und Herde, Winterthur; Amstein + Walthert, Zurich; Reflexion AG, Zurich; Stadt Raum Verkehr, Zurich) were in charge of the planning and implementation of the flagship project. A new pedestrian and cycle underpass connects the areas on both sides of the tracks. 200 colored and white LED luminaires from the Traxon brand lead the way, ensuring both attractive and safe lighting. The specialist brand from OSRAM Lighting Solutions is known across the world for its innovative dynamic LED lighting solutions.\r\n\r\nAt the point where the four adjacent districts intersect, a large open space was created which forms a visual link between the districts and promotes the development of a vibrant city center. The pivotal idea of the concept was to establish spaces instead of footbridges. On both sides of the tracks, areas were created which provide attractive access points to the districts. They form a visual link between each other across the tracks, and are connected via a generous pedestrian underpass.\r\n\r\nThe pedestrian and cycling underpass located on the active side of Zürcherstrasse is easily accessible from all sides. As a visible sign of the new link, two impressive roofs mark the descents, creating a visual bridge across the tracks. People descending into the underground at Winterthur train station can see where they will emerge on the other side. Both overground and underground, light is an important design element. Pedestrians and cyclists share the wide underpass but each have their own lane. The load-bearing wall of the rail bridge has been turned into a light object, guiding pedestrians from the illuminated roof of the entrance to the illuminated roof of the exit.\r\n\r\nDynamic colored and white LED lighting with Nano Liner Allegro AC XB\r\n\r\nThe lighting system was planned by Reflexion AG, while se Lightmanagement AG, a certified partner of OSRAM, was responsible for technical implementation and commissioning.\r\n\r\nMatching this groundbreaking urban development project, two 45-meter LED panels of light were produced. This turns the pedestrian and cycling underpass into a versatile medium, making it safer for passers-by at the same time. The LED panels are made up of individually controllable 300-millimeter louvers. The special diffused safety glass creates lighting effects in a variety of shapes, colors and sequences. se Lightmanagement AG implemented this media projection using 152 Traxon Nano Liner Allegro AC XB RGB LED luminaires and an e:cue lighting control engine. The highlight here is new software from se Lightmanagement which will constantly change the color pattern automatically over the next 15 years, much to the delight of passers-by who will be treated to a lively and ever-changing lighting installation.\r\n\r\nThe object was rounded off with 62 white LED luminaires in the access areas of the underpass, for which se Lightmanagement AG used the Traxon Nano Liner Allegro AC XB with 4,000 kelvin.\r\n\r\nThe Nano Liner Allegro AC XB is an extremely narrow, linear lighting system, offering high performance and great energy efficiency for outdoor applications. It is operated on line voltage, and thanks to its slim design is recommended for many applications in outdoor architecture, retail and hospitality. Offering flickerfree dimming thanks to leading-edge phase dimmers, it covers a wide range of colors including RGB and three white options. The Nano Liner Allegro AC XB is available in four lengths as well as two beam angles and is ideal for area, linear and indirect lighting, especially where a cost-effective solution with a low profile is required. The Nano Liner Allegro AC XB’s simple plug & play design makes for quick and easy installation, even when space is at a premium.', 'https://www.osram.com/ecue/references/winterthur/index.jsp', 'Osram-City-center-track-crossing_small.jpg', 'Osram City center track crossing', 'City center track crossing, Winterthur, Switzerland', 'Project City center track crossing is located in Winterthur, Switzerland.

The installation, which debuted on October 27, 2018, features Interact Landmark, a cloud-based architectural lighting system provided by Signify, the world leader in lighting. This is the first connected LED lighting installation of its kind which can remotely monitor both the Big River Crossing and Hernando de Soto Bridges from a single dashboard and remotely manage content, creating a citywide immersive experience for onlookers.\r\n\r\nThe Mighty Lights on the Hernando de Soto Bridge includes nearly 10,000 individually controllable Color Kinetics light points. These durable architectural luminaires are specifically designed to withstand harsh weather, excess vibration due to automobiles, and extreme heat. The cutting-edge LED technology featured in the Mighty Lights installation can produce over a billion intensely saturated colors in a variety of beam angles, ensuring that every truss and cable on both bridges is defined and vibrant. The LEDs can also create hundreds of possible light distribution patterns and configurations to create static displays or fluid and animated color shows which commence every hour on the hour after sundown on Big River Crossing and the Hernando de Soto Bridge.\r\n\r\n\"The Mighty Lights is reinvigorating one of the region’s most vital centers of activity and contributing directly to the social and economic prosperity of the community. By integrating the Big River Crossing and Hernando De Soto Bridge, Mighty Lights reimagines how residents and visitors will experience the iconic Memphis riverfront while also capturing the attention and imagination of millions of people and thousands of cities around the world.” -Roger Karner, US President of Signify\r\n\r\nThe Mighty Lights on the Hernando de Soto Bridge will radically transform and enhance the Memphis waterfront by illuminating over four miles of riverside parklands. There will be expansive viewpoints ranging from Harbor Town and Greenbelt Park in the north to Tom Lee Park and Big River Trail through the Arkansas floodplains in the south.\r\n\r\n“The Mighty Lights are giving Memphians one more thing to be excited about and proud of.  They have helped to increase tourism, economic development and community engagement in Downtown Memphis,” said Todd Richardson, President of Memphis Bridge Lighting, Inc., the nonprofit orchestrating the Mighty Lights. “The glow and hourly light shows are a unique and fun experience for Memphians and visitors that will capture imaginations and bring a broad range of people together in times of celebration and commemoration.”\r\n\r\nJust this year, the Mighty Lights on Big River Crossing have been dedicated to Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Mid-South Pride, and the reveal of Memphis’s first United Soccer League team, the Memphis 901 FC. Since its unveiling in 2016, the connected lighting system on Big River Crossing has received international recognition by the Athens, Greece-juried American Architecture Awards and the Waterfront Center Design Excellence Award.\r\n\r\nThe Mighty Lights was also selected as a pilot market for the Social Impact Analysis app, a software service within the Interact Landmark platform designed to help the City of Memphis and Memphis Bridge Lighting Inc. to collect accurate feedback on the social and media impact of the Mighty Lights. Along with the Big River Crossing’s eco-counter, information from the app will help the city to facilitate better engagement with citizens, improve strategies to boost tourism and enhance value for the local economy.\r\n\r\n“Mighty Lights perfectly demonstrates how media and social media are especially important indicators for the impact lighting installations have on civic pride and the local community,” said James Anderson, Global Segment Manager at Signify. “With two landmark lighting installations now at opposite ends of the city, Memphis was an ideal location to quantifiably evaluate public opinion, sentiment about architectural lighting, and overall response to the project.”\r\n\r\nThe Mighty Lights made their debut on the Hernando de Soto Bridge on October 27, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. during RiverArtsFest at Mighty Lights: Recharge the River.

(670, 'FOP006', 45, 'SESAC headquarters', 'Nashville, Tennessee', 'West Coast Energy Codes Play Like a Symphony in Music City \r\n\r\n\r\nA resident of Nashville, Tennessee since 1985, SESAC recently made the decision to consolidate its offices under one roof while remaining close to its roots on Music Row. According to the Chairman and CEO, John Josephson, the space will be home to the organization for many years to come. Though the smallest of the three major performing rights organizations in the United States, SESAC’s catalog of licenses is anything but small – it includes Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Green Day and Adele, to name a few.\r\n\r\nIt was necessary for the new headquarters to showcase its catalog of famous artists, reinforce creativity, encourage collaboration, and reflect the company’s culture and brand. The two-story space was designed as a multi-purpose facility. Nashville based architecture firm, Tuck-Hinton Architects designed the office with a variety of work environments enveloping a grand staircase, strategically placed in the center of the office, doubling as a performance area.\r\n\r\nScott Johnson, Design Principal at Brilliant Lighting Studio in Culver City, California, part of Wolcott Architecture, was enlisted to develop a flexible, energy-efficient lighting plan to meet the $9 per-square-foot budget, while conveying the company’s aesthetic. As a California based lighting designer, Johnson is well educated in designing for energy efficiency. However, LED solutions and California energy codes, such as Title 24, were relatively new to the project’s stakeholders. “We had to sell them on using a certain amount of LED in their fixtures,” recalls Johnson. “When this project was started three or four years ago, LEDs were still novel and the cost of LEDs was more expensive than fluorescent for basically the same fixtures, and there was a certain budget that drove the project.”\r\n\r\nJohnson knew applying the standards was only possible by using energy-efficient luminaires and controls, which would address the diverse needs of the space – enabling the transformation from office to event center at any moment. Like the rhythm of a song, the lighting plan included a composition of luminaires. Johnson explains, “it was a musical looking ceiling plan, it had all kinds of rhythmic juxtaposition between repeating elements and other elements dropped in somewhat randomly.” Luminaires in various shapes, sizes, and mounting styles, as individual units and clusters, work together in harmony while also carrying a subtle nod to keyboards and music notes. \r\n\r\nContinuing to draw inspiration from the organization and with a desire to play off SESAC’s brand identity, Johnson designed custom triangular-shaped suspended luminaires, evocative of the distinct A in SESAC’s logo, with a custom finish to match the company’s signature red color. “Since we were already working with Focal Point and I liked the Dart fixture, I thought, well maybe they can do that. I made a sketch, sent it off to my local representative, SCI Lighting Solutions, then Focal Point picked up the ball and ran with it,” stated Johnson.\r\n\r\nThe attention to detail and seamless communication by the Focal Point Custom Revenue Engineering (CRE) team resulted in a direct/indirect pendant fabricated using stock components of Dart suspended luminaires. “This allowed a personalized look without the painful cost and time commitment of a fully custom luminaire,” stated Johnson. The luminaires were strategically placed in the two-story atrium and in gathering areas to provide a common feature, visually joining formal and informal areas. Standard Amica 2x2 LED and Skydome LED luminaires from Focal Point were also included in the space.\r\n\r\nIn the end, the new space was designed for the future with LED luminaires and a lighting control system, to yield an LPD of 1.1 watts per-square-foot, reducing costs and easing maintenance needs. Like a musical composition, the design emphasizes counterpoint and harmony, earning a 2017 IES Illumination Award of Merit and delivering a flexible space to keep the music alive.', 'https://www.focalpointlights.com/gallery/open-office#overlay=modal-overlay/5438', 'Focal-Point-Lights-SESAC_small.jpg', 'Focal Point Lights SESAC headquarters', 'SESAC headquarters, Nashville, Tennessee', 'Project SESAC headquarters is located in Nashville, Tennessee.

(673, 'FOP007', 45, 'Center for Medical Interoperability', 'Nashville, Tennessee', 'Following the Flow of Data through Design\r\n\r\n\r\nA start-up striving to build a simplified and seamless communication of information amid devices and systems in the healthcare industry selected Nashville, Tennessee for their home base. Music City’s community of leading hospitals and academic medical centers was a fundamental reason the Center for Medical Interoperability (CMI) chose the southern city.\r\n\r\nThe organization and its members are committed to removing the boundaries in the communication of patient information. Currently, patient information is not easily shared among physicians, causing costly issues and putting patient\'s safety at risk. In order to fulfill these ambitious goals, the Center needed a space where employees and members could collaborate.\r\n\r\nNeeding a flexible environment that could adapt as the organization evolves, the 501(c)(3) cooperative research and development lab moved to a new 16,000 square-foot space on the west side of the city. The new facility was designed to support the organization’s vision to accelerate the seamless exchange of information to improve healthcare for all.  \r\n\r\nDeveloping a vision for the space was the result of an interactive session with CMI’s employees and Gresham Smith. The award-winning group of architects, engineers, interior designers and planners has been a major part of the Nashville community since 1967. Together, they brought the brand to life in a highly functional open office environment designed around the theme of “Follow the Flow of Data”, reflecting CMI’s mission to unify healthcare organizations through data sharing.\r\n\r\n\r\nFlexibility for Evolution\r\n\r\nIt was not only important to design for the current operations, but also for the future expansion of the organization. The facility needed to showcase innovation and technology while providing connectivity among employees and visitors. According to Michele McMinn, Senior Interior Designer at Greshman Smith and the lead Project Manager for CMI, a wide range of work settings was the way to provide the greatest amount of flexibility.\r\n\r\n“CMI was a new company so they did not have a previous space to reference, nor corporate standards, so we really got to think about what they do and how they function to develop a space that was fined-tuned to support their innovative work,” said McMinn, who has worked at Gresham Smith for six years.\r\n\r\nTherefore, the space was divided into three independent suites, flowing freely from one to the next and allowing to maximize the organization’s connectivity while affording future growth. The three-suite interior is comprised of a community gathering space with moveable seating, a partner project area for co-working needs, and an engineering space with workstations, private offices, a learning center, and a simulation lab that can be transformed into a certification lab.\r\n\r\n\r\nDesigning Beyond Data\r\n\r\nGresham Smith took into consideration the future of the facility beyond CMI’s mission of human care through the transfer of data to deliver a contemporary and sustainable design. With a member list of notable professionals from the nation’s most prestigious healthcare organizations, it was important to create a welcoming and inviting space.\r\n\r\nUnlike stereotypical sterile healthcare environments, McMinn said CMI visitors are greeted with a space that focuses on health, wellness and sustainability, demonstrated through clean lines, warm natural tones, and energy efficient luminaires.\r\n\r\n“We went through extensive visionary exercises to help determine the aesthetic goals of the space. Lighting was a key focus from the very beginning.”\r\n\r\nStarting in the main entry, comfortable seating and a dark slotted wall-to-ceiling structure welcome guests. The structure strategically incorporates Seem 2 linear luminaires by Chicago-based Focal Point to illuminate the lobby area, contributing to the inviting atmosphere.\r\n\r\nTo augment the contemporary aesthetic, rich warm tones were used on the walls and floors, while bold accents and simple geometric shaped luminaires were integrated throughout the facility. Wood walls and tables, sourced from a local Nashville artist, reinforce sustainability and naturally blend with the contemporary backdrop, bringing unity to the space.\r\n\r\nThe unique office layout resulted in a triangular-shaped collaboration area. Various sizes of the circular-shaped Skydome LED luminaires by Focal Point were suspended at different heights in its center, playing with geometry and balancing out the sharp angles. The chairs and tables situated below also mimic the curves from the luminaires above, bringing a sense of comfort to the space.\r\n\r\nWooden screens were used to divide the collaboration area and workstations from the private offices and conference room, a nod to nature and sustainability that allows for visibility to those passing by. Continuing to convey transparency, glass walls and doors were used for private offices and conference rooms, which McMinn says permits natural light to infiltrate the interior areas of the office.\r\n\r\nPurposeful in design, for both now and in the future, CMI’s open office exemplifies the organization’s mission, creating a simple space with movement and connectivity at its core.', 'https://www.focalpointlights.com/gallery/open-office#overlay=modal-overlay/5440', 'Focal-Point-Lights-CMI_small.jpg', 'Focal Point Lights Center for Medical Interoperability', 'Center for Medical Interoperability, Nashville, Tennessee', 'Project Center for Medical Interoperability is located in Nashville, Tennessee.

(676, 'LNR003', 184, 'Schwerin South power station', 'Schwerin, Germany', 'The power plant Schwerin South is now presenting itself in a new light during the morning and evening hours. By illuminating the façades, the city wanted to occupy the new biogas plant with positive attributes. The cylindrical and spherical building parts are highlighted with white and colored light. In addition to formal aspects, the prevention of light pollution was also taken into account.\r\n\r\nThe task to re-illuminate the Schwerin South power station was a challenge in various respects. On the one hand, an economically and formally appealing lighting system was required which respects the flora and fauna of the environment and does not impact it. In addition, a new landmark for Schwerin should be established, with positive effects on the company\'s image. The municipalities wanted to communicate the changed importance of the facility - away from a fuel oil plant to a clean gas and biogas CHP (Combined heat and power unit). The lighting in the morning and evening hours is used to emphasize the new technology. Formally, the lighting system should structure the power plant in a way that its essential components are distinguishable and the geometry of the system components, in particular the boiler blocks, can be recognized. By examining the town-planning classification, it was possible to illuminate only those parts of the system, which can also be seen from outside the power plant ground. It was an aim to ensure that \"postcard images\" are built up in the most important viewpoints, which means that the illuminated parts of the system complement each other in a harmonious way. For this purpose, daylight shots and sketches were produced from the plant and evaluated accordingly. The lighting design now results in a coherent overall picture.\r\n\r\nIn order to reduce the effect on the inhabitants, but also for the insects and birds, the luminaires were arranged in such a way that they do not emit light into the sky, but specifically illuminate the surfaces. Due to the small design of LED luminaires it is possible to adjust the light precisely or to install the luminaires in an appropriate way. The \"light smog\" is minimized due to the targeted illumination and the use of opal light emission surfaces. In order to further reduce the possible load, a dimming protocol was set which regulates the light according to the time of the day. In the early evening at the brightest, the light is reduced by half in the late evening, then almost completely switched off from midnight. In the morning, the power station welcomes the Schwerin’s inhabitants on their way to work with a brighter light again.\r\n\r\nTo make the operation of the power plant transparent, the lighting divides it into different areas. In the entrance area, a narrow white and a blue, 25m-long »VarioLED Flex VENUS« design light line from LED Linear leads to the entrance. At the biogas tanks, the upper third of the three tanks is surrounded by a green light line. The »VarioLED Flex VENUS« was also used here. The light illuminates part of the tank walls and symbolizes the process of gas production.\r\n\r\nAt the power plant, the side walls of the boiler houses are lit from the roof to reveal the structure of the central building, the heart of the plant. The facade of the power plant, which is divided by an external steel structure, thus receives a two-dimensional backlighting. The concise construction is emphasized in the form of a light and shadow contrast and thus appears as a geometrical element in front of the building. The »XOOLUM«, a narrow luminaire with 25° reflector optics and IP67 potting, was used here.\r\n\r\nThe tops of the four chimneys are illuminated in a ring-shaped fashion, white light upwards and blue light downwards, and thus re-absorbing the colors of the logo of the town. The »VarioLED Flex VENUS« was used in white and blue. They form a kind of \"crown of light\" for the power station. The positive, memorable impression of the complex in the evening should be connected with the daylight impression. In this way, the power station will slowly become a new landmark for Schwerin.\r\n\r\nFurther information:\r\nPlanning: 2014 – 2015\r\nCompletion: October 2016\r\nClient: Stadtwerke Schwerin\r\nLighting design: Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Honoring the King of Morocco, the structure connects the capital city of Rabat to the city of Salé. The iconic landmark was part of a larger infrastructure project—the Rabat Motorway bypass—that was commissioned to help alleviate traffic in and generate economic benefits for the two cities, as well as reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.  For many, the project symbolizes the modernization of Morocco.\r\n\r\nThe newly inaugurated road bridge is an engineering marvel that spans six lanes wide and measures 950 m (3,100 ft) long and 200 m (650 ft) high. The unique architecture of the bridge is inspired by the Arab-Muslim civilization. The tremendous structure—including two 200 m (650 ft) towers and 160 cables—is highlighted with a Color Kinetics dynamic LED lighting system. It shines magnificently in the sky at night and provides a breathtaking view as vehicles approach.\r\n\r\nTo create this beacon in the night sky, the team mounted Color Kinetics ColorReach Compact floodlights along both sides of the bridge deck and used ArchiPoint iColor Powercore light points to dot the sides of the structure. ColorGraze Powercore grazing luminaires highlight the arches of the tall towers while iColor Accent MX Powercore luminaires create long ribbons of color at the summit.\r\n\r\nWith the dynamic LED lighting system, authorized users can create magnificent light shows with the flexibility to change the look of the bridge at any time for holidays, special occasions, or local events.

Moreover, the bar of the hotel was at the centre of a musical movement, the Jazz one, greatly celebrated in the vibrant Parisian culture. Last but not least, politicians and tacticians of the calibre of Charles de Gaulle and businessmen such as Pierre Bergé, co-founder of the fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, were guests of this luxurious hotel, giving even more glory to the history of this impressive architecture.

This project was born out of the need to create a service structure for one of the most beautiful beaches ion the island. Precisely because of its location within the Parco Nazionale dell’Arcipelago Toscano this project has required design reflections aiming at the preservation the great value of the naturalistic context. The goal has been the implementation of a perfect integration between environment and manufacture; therefore all morphological and material solutions have been directed towards the use of natural environmentally friendly products both as far as the structure and the lighting is concerned.\r\n\r\n\r\nDesign constraints and environmentally friendly choices\r\n\r\nFor the Bar Reef Sansone the main aim has been to design a   low energy project, both environmentally friendly and biocompatible. The casing of the structure is a prefabricated frame made of steel and wood fully dry made; the floor slabs and the wooden exterior terraces have been raised in order to not modify the original profile of the underlying ground. Virgin sheep’s wool mattresses insulate the internal walls of the building while wood fiber panels insuklate the framed external walls. All this dry mounted material will preserve the condition of the places as originally found when the entire structure was dismantled.\r\n\r\nThe body of the building has been designed on three levels: on the first the technical rooms and bathrooms; on the second the kitchen and bar with two external terraces; on the third the lookout terrace with the roof garden. Two vertical vegetable gardens cover a large part of the building for which endemic aromatic flowerings and plants have been selected, such as lavender, fennel, myrtle, mint and rosemary. The vegetal gardens are irrigated with meteoric waters collected in a special reservoir positioned above ground; the water is then used for the gardens and cleaning purposes. All installations are new generation products. The use of photovoltaics and bioclimatic devices rates the building at an A4 energetic class.\r\n\r\n\r\nUnobtrusive and low energy cost lighting\r\n\r\nFrom a lighting viewpoint the structure has been enhanced by respecting the natural light conditions of the spot. A warm tone enhances the texture of the external encasement made of natural wood similar to the colour of the holm oaks that surround the structure. Light zones alternate with shadowy ones where the Mediterranean maquis penetrates the project and becomes thus an additional example of the research for integration with the natural dimension.  \r\n\r\nNo light poles providing light from above have been taken into consideration to avoid any sort of glare or light dispersion. The whole lighting installation is therefore made up of ground level luminaires providing a total coverage of the service area while the local light is kept untouched. This is the case for Minizip tonda , an unobtrusive marker without glare.\r\n\r\nThe entire lighting installation obviously uses high energy efficiency LED luminaires. The array of luminaires comprises of low bollards, in-ground markers, luminous handrails and the COOL wall mount luminaire that duly illuminate the wooden walls.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nProject Bar Reef, Sansone, Elba Island\r\nArchitectural & Lighting Project by Arch.

This latest high-profile city landmark, using Philips architectural LED lighting, illustrates the growing trend in China to make cities more attractive and livable using the latest connected lighting technologies.\r\n\r\nCWTC Tower B is a new hub for commerce and tourism in Beijing\'s Central Business District. The 300-meter-tall building is the latest addition to the CWTC, a growing mixed-use campus and home to some of China\'s leading companies. The form of the building was inspired by geometry found in nature and by traditional Feng Shui. The exterior is clad in a sleek curtain wall of glass with self-shading vertical fins and a canted façade which reflects Beijing\'s vibrant skyline. The tower’s design also addresses climate concerns. To reduce energy use, the exterior glass curtain wall is tilted to decrease glare and solar heat in the warm summer months.\r\n\r\n\r\n“Invisible” lights meet unique design\r\n\r\nThe top of the building is illuminated by 88 sets of Philips Color Kinetics ColorReach LED floodlights.\r\n\r\nTo accentuate the architecture of the tower walls, Signify provided a total of 400,000 white LED light points. The Philips Color Kinetics eW Flex Micro string lights are embedded into cavities on the curtain wall, rendering them “invisible.” From the outset, Signify’s Professional Lighting Services team worked closely with the architect and reserved the cavity structures for the lighting. The installation nodes are exceptionally well designed, and the illumination angles and installation positions fit perfectly the structure of the curtain wall, preventing light from shining inside the offices at night. Assisting with the installation was the Beijing Fortune Lighting System Engineering Co. Ltd, which is a member of the Signify Value Added Partner program.\r\n\r\nTower becomes a giant video screen\r\nThe lights are digitally controlled by a Philips Color Kinetics Video System Manager Controller.

(718, 'ACL001', 217, 'Bayview Bridge', 'Quincy, Illinois, USA', 'Bayview Bridge Shines at Night\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the 1980s, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the city of Quincy faced an interesting problem in that The Quincy Soldier\'s Memorial Bridge on U.S. 24 was inadequate to handle traffic over the Mississippi River, but the structure was still sound. \r\n\r\nAfter due diligence, IDOT’s solution was to build a second new twin bridge. While the Memorial Bridge would handle eastbound traffic, a new Quincy Bayview bridge would be built about 900 feet north of the old bridge to handle westbound traffic.\r\n\r\nBuilt in 1986 at the cost of $32 million, the Quincy Bayview Bridge is an early cable stay bridge, at least for the US. The bridge has 56 cables set up in 4 planes, with each plane having 7 cables on each side of the 182-foot main towers. Each pair of cables supports a 60 foot long by 6 foot thick bridge deck section. The sections were unique at the time since they were a combination of prefabricated steel and precast concrete. Also, unique was a new epoxy coating on the cables. Both of these innovative features are now commonly found on more recent cable stayed bridges.\r\n\r\nAfter completion, the twin bridges easily handle traffic between Quincy Ill., and Quincy, Mo.  Known as Illinois\'s \"Gem City,\" is a city on the Mississippi River and the county seat of Adams County, Quincy has a population of more than 40,000 people and remains a prominent river city. It has several historic districts, including the Downtown Quincy Historic District and the South Side German Historic District showcasing the architecture of Quincy\'s many German immigrants from the late-19th century.  Adjacent to Quincy, on the Missouri side of the river, is West Quincy and a vast floodplain used primarily for farming. \r\n\r\n\r\nBringing Back the Architectural Luster\r\n\r\nAfter almost 30 years of service, the IDOT decided to bring the luster back to the Bayview Bridge through a new lighting project.  The criteria for the project was to find a lighting scheme that would high the architectural beauty of the bridge without creating maintenance issues and energy cost.  Klinger Associates, P.C., Quincy, Ill., Brown Electrical Construction Company, Quincy, Ill., and Lighting Associates Inc., Webster Groves, Mo., worked together to develop a lighting program to meet IDOT’s criteria.\r\n\r\nAfter a thorough investigation, Bayview is now highlighted by 78 Dyna Flood QA and eight Dyna Drum HO RGBA luminaires from Acclaim Lighting, Los Angles, Calif., Using Acclaim’s quad-color technology, the Dyna Flood QA contains four colors, RGB+amber, under a single lens. Because quad-color technology mixes the colors under the lens unlike traditional technology that color mixes outside of the lens, Dyna Flood QA delivers precise color matching.\r\n\r\nDyna Flood QA offers beam angles of 20, 40 and 60 degrees, and provides 1,233 lumens with efficacy of 20.55. Consuming 60 watts, the long-lasting units are warranted for five years and retain 70 percent of brightness at 50,000 hours.\r\n\r\nIdeal for facade and large-scale area flood lighting, the Dyna Drum HO features an adjustable yoke with onboard 180-degree flip inverted digital control display for menu selections and addressing. With its 100-277-volt AC internal power supply, Dyna Drum fixtures consume only 270 watts in replacing traditional 400-watt outdoor discharge fixtures.\r\n\r\nThe color-changing Dyna Drum HO features RGBA chips, while the single-color version is available in 2,700, 3,000, 3,500, 4,000 and 5,500 K, providing a lumen range of 9,000 to 17,232 at 5,500 K.

Completed in 1938, the building is nicknamed the “Jewel on the Bay” because of its notable architecture and its scenic location fronting San Diego Bay.\r\n\r\nThe country selected OCS Lighting & Control to work with Dynalectric, the electrical contractor responsible for providing system design and manage the implementation of the lighting scheme. OCS is recognized for its unparalleled support and high quality lighting product offering that meet the requirements of virtually any project, regardless of scope, size, value, budget, type, and requirements, while heeding to the local, state, and federal regulations and the specific terms and conditions of its customers.\r\n\r\nThe lighting team and county officials determined from day-one that several attributes including strong light output, good color quality, ease of control, fixture build quality, and a clean aesthetic were all critical factors in determining which fixtures would be selected for the lighting the building.  Officials wanted to update existing high-wattage, HID floods uplighting the building’s unique architectural details with technology from the 21st century. They looked to replace the existing 400-watt metal halide narrow floodlights with RGBW LED lights to gain several benefits including much greater energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, and quick and easy color changes accomplished through programming rather than a crew physically applying color filters for special events and seasonal themes. Moreover, the county wanted the ability to easily coordinate the lighting shows running on the building with a nearby garage, which are in the line of sight for each other, so that the two would always be unified in schemes and color themes. Acclaim Lighting Solution After thoroughly comparing various solutions with guidance from OCS and Dynalectric, the County selected lighting products from Los Angeles-based Acclaim Lighting. Acclaim’s solution not only met but exceeded the technical requirements set forth within available budget parameters. In order for the fixtures to withstand the harsh coastal environment of San Diego Bay, IP66-rated fixtures were selected.  For the County Administration Building, OCS specified 120 volt Dyna Drum RGBW HO, Dyna Drum RGBW, 4’ Dyna Graze RGBW HO and Dyna Flood HO. Dyna Drum RGBW and RGBW HO are quad-color architectural lighting fixtures feature an adjustable yoke and an onboard 180-degree flip inverted digital control display for menu selections and addressing. The fixtures consume a maximum of 270 watts but typically consume much less than half the power of the 400 watt units they replace when running most of the shows programmed into the control system.\r\n \r\nPlus, the color-changing Dyna Drum HO fixtures feature RGBW chips, providing a wide color range one can select from when creating lighting content. The Dyna Drum HO is available in several beam angles and lens options. Both Dyna Drum models feature four-channel, DMX-512 control systems, including built-in wired and wireless protocols.\r\n\r\nPlus, Dyna Flood HO, high-powered, quad-color LED flood units, supplies precisely matched colors in outdoor settings to illuminate facades, structures, landscapes and monuments. Consuming over 60 watts, Dyna Flood HO delivers 1,579 lumens of brightness at a 20-degree beam angle, delivering efficacy of 26 lumens per watt. The Control systems are based around ETC Mosaic show control, ETC Response Net3 Gateways, and Acclaim RDS6 DMX/RDM opto splitters that support a custom control/content playback system created by the San Diego-based studio of Sosolimited, an art and technology consultant that specializes in interactive environments and multi-sensory design. Working with SoSo’s content playback platform, which is operating on a Mac Mini, the complex control system enables precise, dynamic lighting schemes.

The contract was awarded by the Illuminated River Foundation to reinvigorate the city’s famous River Thames bridges and further differentiate London as one of the world’s most attractive, leading capital cities. Signify won the contract to supply its Interact Landmark  system and Philips Color Kinetics LED luminaires to light up the bridges with dynamic, artistic lighting effects via its centrally managed software. In addition, Signify will provide lifecycle services to remotely monitor and manage the connected bridge lighting for the next 10 years.\r\n\r\nThis is the first time there has been a holistic strategy to light up all of central London’s bridges. The aim is to create a multi-level visual experience for the bridges viewed by pedestrians on the bridges, from London’s riverbanks, from the air, from tall buildings and by boat. The project is led by the Illuminated River Foundation. It ran an international design competition for the lighting design which was won by the acclaimed, international artist, Leo Villareal and London architects, Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands. Following a rigorous evaluation, Signify was awarded the project because of its global breadth and expertise in lighting and ability to deliver such an important, large-scale, connected lighting project. Also, a key factor was Signify’s experience of working with lighting designers and architects on the management of dynamic, architectural lighting scenes.\r\n\r\n“Light is one of the most powerful means of breathing new life into leading cities and metropolitan areas, heralding a new era of urban design and beautification.\r\n\r\nWe’ve lit bridges around the world and seen first-hand the positive impact that dynamic architectural lighting has on transforming local communities and economies. It’s wonderful to give the people of London stunningly-lit bridges with some lit up for the first time,” said Maria-Letizia Mariani, President of Europe, EVP, Signify.\r\n\r\nPhase one commencing now will see four bridges illuminated by mid-2019 with connected Philips Color Kinetics LED luminaires, featured on the world-famous London Bridge, Cannon Street Railway Bridge, Southwark Bridge and Millennium Bridge. Signify’s Interact Landmark system will remotely monitor and manage the lighting on all four bridges. For the first time, this will see Cannon Street Railway Bridge illuminated as well as both the tops and undersides of the other three bridges. This will allow far more extensive, three-dimensional lighting effects to enhance the areas surrounding the bridges and facilitate safety.\r\n\r\n\r\nTop Five Facts about London’s Illuminated Rivers project:\r\n\r\n1. The Illuminated Rivers project will be the longest public art commission in the world once completed, at 2.5 miles in length, equivalent to 44 football pitches laid end-to-end along 4.5 nautical miles of the River Thames. Interact Landmark system from Signify will centrally manage the new connected lighting for this artwork.\r\n\r\n2. More than 22,000 connected Philips Color Kinetics LED light points, capable of displaying over 16 million colours, will be used to create dynamic lighting effects on up to 15 London bridges: London Bridge; Southwark Bridge; Cannon Street Bridge; Millennium Bridge; Blackfriars Railway Bridge; Blackfriars Bridge; Waterloo Bridge; Golden Jubilee Bridge, Westminster Bridge; Lambeth Bridge; Vauxhall Bridge; Grosvenor Bridge; Chelsea Bridge; Albert Bridge; Tower Bridge.\r\n\r\n3. London Bridge: there’s been a bridge on or near this site since medieval times. This commuter favourite has heated pavements designed to prevent ice during cold spells.\r\n\r\n4. Millennium Bridge is London’s first new pedestrian bridge for over a century and was envisioned as a “blade of light” across the Thames, linking St Paul’s Cathedral with the Tate Modern and Globe Theatre on the South Bank. In conjunction with Foster & Partners, the designer of Millennium Bridge, Signify will dynamically light the underside of the bridge for the first time, creating additional light to showcase the blade of light across the river.\r\n\r\n5. Every year there are 200 million crossings over the 15 London bridges.\r\n\r\nSignify is committed to helping cities to develop eco-friendly business and tourist landmarks. An estimated 50-70% of the annual electricity consumption for architectural lighting is saved by moving to connected LED technology compared with conventional lighting.\r\n\r\n\r\nBeing connected, the lighting will be monitored remotely by Interact Landmark. The software will detect and manage faults and perform remote diagnostics and maintenance, improving asset management and thereby reducing costs. On the 15 bridges, there will be more than 13,000 luminaires. These will be controlled individually or centrally to create dynamic, unique scenes.', 'https://www.signify.com/global/our-company/news/press-releases/2018/20181129-london-calling-for-illuminated-bridges-for-worlds-longest-public-art-commission', 'Signify-Illuminated-River_small.jpg', 'Signify Illuminated River', 'Illuminated River, London, UK', 'Project Illuminated River is located in London, UK.

(736, 'IGZ019', 65, 'Casina Valadier', 'Rome, Italy', 'Casina Valadier is a historic monumental villa, built at the request of Napoleon in 1817 and located in the heart of the Villa Borghese park on the Pincian Hill. The building offers spectacular views over the eternal city and to celebrate its 200th anniversary, a new lighting system was designed for it. The project was commissioned by the Montefusco family who currently manage the villa that was designed and built by the famous architect Giuseppe Valadier. The idea was to retrieve the French bistro style retreat included in the original villa that became extremely popular with the milieus of culture, art and politics for the entire Risorgimento and up until after the First World War. Considered the architectural value of the project and the innovative model of collaboration created between different private parties for a public monument, Casina Valadier has succeeded in going back to being an important landmark for both Rome’s citizens and tourists. Its historic café and exclusive restaurant with views over the entire city make it the perfect location for national and international events. With the blessing of the Municipality of Rome and the Special Arts and Archaeology Heritage Authorities, the Loft Canova architectural studio was commissioned by the Montefusco family to create a new lighting design. The result was an ambitious design featuring unobtrusive LED luminaires, like the iPro projectors positioned at the base of the villa’s columns and pilasters to emphasize their verticality, and the Woody projectors used in the gardens. Continuous and invisible, Underscore InOut light lines have also been positioned on the splendid villa’s cornices, stairs, frescoed ceilings and the sumptuous red carpet that marks its entrance. Together, these luminaires constitute a masterly balance of vertical and horizontal light lines, which are controlled by a light management system to create a spectacular outdoor lighting system for the entire villa and its park. For the first time in its history, then, Casina Valadier can now also reveal its face at night. The goal of the project was to enhance the aesthetics by using LED technology to reduce energy consumption in favour of greater eco-sustainability. The use of compact lighting bodies has enabled the impact of the design to be reduced to a minimum. The design of the distribution system, which has positioned everything that powers the projectors and Underscore InOut luminaires remotely, is also of fundamental importance. This ensures that the luminaires are not invasive and the only thing that interacts with the architecture of the structure is the light that enhances its beauty.\r\n\r\nYear: 2019\r\n\r\nClient: La Grande Cucina Spa\r\n\r\nArchitectural project: Loft Canova - Pasquale Piroso\r\n\r\nPhotographer: Courtesy of Pasquale Piroso', 'https://www.iguzzini.com/us/projects/project-gallery/casina-valadier-lighting-200-years-of-history/', 'iGuzzini-Casina-Valadier_small.jpg', 'iGuzzini Casina Valadier', 'Casina Valadier, Rome, Italy', 'Project Casina Valadier is located in Rome, Italy.

(739, 'IGZ020', 65, 'Evolution Tower', 'Moscow, Russia', 'Evolution Tower, the skyscraper designed by Tony Kettel and Karen Forbes, became a landmark in Moscow’s new urban skyscape throughout its construction between 2011 and 2014, the year in which it was completed. Since 2016, when it was bought by Transneft, the building has been the headquarters of the largest state-owned oil pipeline company in the world. The tower is 255 metres and 55 floors high and is now the largest and most efficient office building in Russia. It is lit entirely by LEDs and boasts one of the most sophisticated management and control systems on the planet.\r\n\r\nFor iGuzzini, the Evolution Tower was a highly complex project that it completed successfully thanks to its knowhow and by providing a global solution: dynamic lighting for both the exteriors and the indoor offices. The spiral structure of the building required the design and construction of specific solutions that were perfected with the lighting designer.\r\n\r\nLighting the interiors of the Evolution Tower was a challenging project as the layout of its different environments - all with their own specific functions, such as computer work stations, corridors, shared spaces and reception areas - vary significantly due to the twisting shape of the structure that makes the tower such a distinctive landmark on Moscow’s urban skyline.\r\n\r\nThe general contractor, Velesstroy, entrusted Dean Skira with the complex task of developing a lighting design that would offer a high level of visual comfort for employees and energy consumption of less than 5W per square metre, while also recounting the importance, history and values of Transneft.\r\n\r\nAs these requests had to be created for rooms with variable sizes that are neither square nor rectangular, and whose glass walls tilt at different angles, the lighting concept was based on low luminance luminaires. The positioning of these products was also carefully researched to ensure the level of uniformity requested by the customer for the specific work areas was achieved. All the luminaires are DALI and therefore dimmable. They are also connected to a network of presence and daylight sensors controlled by algorithms that are part of the structure’s building automation.\r\n\r\nThe fact that this project involved spaces whose size can be varied enormously, led to Dean Skira choosing luminaires from the entire Laser Blade range. This guarantees a consistent style, while allowing the various requirements in the different environments to be met successfully. The general preference was for shorter 1, 3 and 5 cell modules, because they are extremely adaptable given their compact size. A bespoke 5-cell Laser Blade Adjustable Wall Washer luminaire was specifically created too.\r\n\r\nTo obtain an optimum, diffuse and homogeneous effect in the work environments with video-screens and therefore to integrate the effect of the low luminance luminaires that risk creating shadows that are too sharp, vertical wall lighting was used. In certain environments, Underscore light lines with grazer effects were used and in others, Laser Blade L Adjustable luminaires fitted with Wall Washer optics were chosen to light the side walls vertically. In certain areas, standard lamps were added to integrate and personalise the lighting. In the work environments, on the other hand, to soften the lighting effect, an Adjustable version of the Laser Blade L luminaire was installed with special filters to broaden the luminaires’ light emission. To illuminate the corridors that join the various work areas and have glass walls on one side and masonry walls on the other, Laser Blade L Adjustable luminaires were installed with twin General Lighting and Wall Washer optics. The General Lighting optic guarantees general lighting, while the Wall Washer creates uniform lighting on the side masonry walls. For these spaces, Dean Skira also asked iGuzzini to eliminate glare completely. So, the wall washer luminaires were fitted with a new Super Comfort LGC (Longitudinal Glare Control) optic that blocks longitudinal glare completely. Along the corridors, the emergency lighting is created by Laser Blade inOut luminaires with an IP65 rating. These are water resistant, so the luminaires will continue to operate even if the fire prevention sprinkler system is activated. This also maintains the style of the luminaires throughout the different areas.\r\n\r\nIn the entrance halls, which are characterised by large, ample spaces, marble and elements depicting Transneft’s activities, Laser Blade System 53 luminaires fitted with High Contrast modules were installed. A slight formal differentiation was adopted for certain areas used for special events and meetings. In these offices, recessed Laser and Laser Blade XS luminaires were fitted.\r\n\r\nDean Skira wanted to give all these environments the same colour temperature and colour rendering (4000 K and CRI 90) and within the set deadlines, iGuzzini succeeded in supplying all the luminaires ordered with these specifications.\r\n\r\nAnother valid request for the entire building was the use of a flicker free driver that does not disturb video communications, as due to the international nature of the company’s affairs, video calls and connections are used daily in many of the work spaces. This request was also particularly pressing for areas with surveillance cameras. All the drivers provided for the interior lighting system, therefore have this characteristic.\r\n\r\n\r\nYear: 2019\r\n\r\nClient: Transneft\r\n\r\nArchitectural project: Tony Kettle with Karen Forbes and Philipp Nikandrov; RMJM\r\n\r\nLighting project: Skira Architectural Lighting - Dean Skira \r\n\r\nGeneral contractor: Velesstroy\r\n\r\nInterior architects: IQ; Elforma\r\n\r\nPhotographer: Ivan Smelov', 'https://www.iguzzini.com/us/projects/project-gallery/evolution-tower-visual-comfort-for-transneft-employees-and-guests/', 'iGuzzini-Evolution-Tower-Interior_small.jpg', 'iGuzzini Evolution Tower', 'Evolution Tower, Moscow, Russia', 'Project Evolution Tower is located in Moscow, Russia.

(742, 'IGZ021', 65, 'The Sancta Sanctorum complex', 'Rome, Italy', '“Non est in toto sanctior orbe locus” (there is no more sacred place in the world than this) are the words that have stood over the Scala Sancta or Holy Stairs since the sixteenth century. The Sancta Sanctorum (or Holy of Holies) is where the Catholic religion’s most sacred relics are kept. For centuries the place was accessible to a few people only, especially in the early Middle Ages, when it was the Pope’s private oratory in the Lateran Palace in Rome. Because of the many relics that were kept in an arch protected by a massive iron grille, in the ninth century, this area around the ancient shrine dedicated to Saint Lawrence, began to be called the ”Sancta Sanctorum”.\r\n\r\nA celebrated icon of Christ the redeemer known as the Acheiropoieton (not made by human hands) is also kept here. The name of the icon comes from the fact that it was supposedly painted by Luke the evangelist and finished by an angel.\r\n\r\nSince 1587, the Sancta Sanctorum, located between the Chapels of Saint Silvester and Saint Lawrence, has been reached via the Scala Santa, that was supposedly brought to Rome by Saint Helena, Constantine’s mother, in 326 AD. According to this tradition, these are the stairs that Christ climbed to reach Pontius Pilate’s Praetorium before his crucifixion. On each side of the Scala Santa, there are two additional staircases.\r\n\r\nThis complex, which Pope Sixtus V (1585 – 1590) enhanced and then entrusted to the specifically established “Sistine College”, which became responsible for its financial administration, therefore has a clear pictorial and architectural value. The college, however, was closed in the mid-19th century and the Stairs were then entrusted to the Congregation of Passionist Fathers in 1853 by Pope Pius IX.\r\n\r\nIt was these Passionist Fathers, who from the 1990s to the end of the century raised the funds required to carry out this detailed and painstaking restoration. In 2015 iGuzzini joined the project as a technical sponsor. The project has reduced the energy consumption of the lighting system and improved visitors’ perception of the artworks in the complex without altering its mystical atmosphere. This is particularly unique as the Scala Santa can only be climbed by pilgrims on their knees. Believers have demonstrated their faith like this for centuries, as testified by the worn marble steps, which can now be seen as the wooden covers that have protected them since 1723 have currently been removed. Pilgrims can therefore view the original staircase until the Day of Pentecost, which falls this year on the 9th of June. After that the steps will be covered with wood again.\r\n\r\nThe lighting design for the complex had two main aims: to create a high efficiency system and to improve the chromatic perception of the frescoes. All the devices are LED luminaires equipped with DALI protocol so that special lighting effects and the whole system can be easily controlled.\r\n\r\nThe luminaires were installed as the various areas were restored. The aim was to create a soft, diffuse, homogeneous lighting effect in all the environments that would allow the frescoes to be seen properly, with no glare, in a clear and transparent atmosphere.\r\n\r\nThe Chapel of Saint Lawrence and its vaulted, frescoed ceiling was the first area to be illuminated, followed by the rest of the church where religious services are still held. The lighting solution is based on opposing pairs of Palco projectors with high colour rendering and a colour temperature of 3000 K. The direct downlight projectors guarantee the correct degree of lighting during the religious services that are held in the chapel, while a second group of projectors with criss-crossed beams illuminate the ceiling with an even light that avoids uncomfortable peaks of brightness. The altar area is lit by Cestello luminaires, a projector that groups together 3 adjustable lamps individually. Some of these lamps are focused on the altar, others on the tabernacle and others on the area of the faithful.\r\n\r\nPalco projectors with high colour rendering have also been installed on the existing cornice in the Chapel of Saint Silvester, on the left side of the Sancta Sanctorum, to illuminate the frescoed ceilings and lunettes. For the Sancta Sanctorum itself, a special system was designed whose main aims were: to make the frescoes at the top of this small space more visible, to improve the rendering of the entire colour range (the previous lighting system featured traditional lamps with colour temperatures that emphasized the warm tones only) and to minimize the visual impact of the actual luminaires as the environment is extremely small. As a result, Laser Blade Tunable White luminaires with a CRI 90 were installed (the same type used at the Scrovegni Chapel) on the splay of the windows. The luminaires are installed in pairs with an uplight emission for lighting the dome and a downlight emission for lighting the strip of frescoes. Under the supervision of Arnold Nesselrath (the then Vatican Museum project manager) Tunable White technology was installed, which allowed a better colour temperature to be selected so the entire colour range of the frescoes can be seen better. The low luminance of the devices also means that the frescoes can be viewed without any visual disturbance.\r\n\r\nThe lower part of the Sancta Sanctorum with its marble decorations is lit by Underscore Ledstrips thhat have been carefully positioned so they cannot be seen directly by visitors. To light the Acheiropoieton Christ a grazing light effect was created from underneath using a Linealuce luminaire to avoid glare and undesired reflections.\r\n\r\nBeside the steps, on the walls which are completely frescoed, Underscore Ledstrip luminaires with a colour temperature of 3000 K and 4000 K have been installed on the cornices and are therefore hidden from sight. This system illuminates the walls vertically with a gradual and even light and the two different colour temperatures have been balanced by the architect Francesco Pezzini, the master restorer Paolo Violini and Father Francesco Guerra, the rector of the sanctuary, to create the most effective temperature for highlighting the entire colour range that includes cold blue and green hues and the warm reds and pinks of the flesh tones.\r\n\r\nIn the upper transept area, at the end of the steps and on the cross-vaulted ceiling there are frescoes on both the walls and small domes. These have been lit using ultracompact Palco projectors (mounted on a Low Voltage track). Despite their minimal size, the luminaires emit light flows that are intense enough to allow the frescoed walls and domes to be seen clearly. The control system allows each flight of steps to be lit with different intensities.\r\n\r\nThe lighting system on the Scala Santa, which completed the restoration project consists entirely of Underscore High Power luminaires, which create a uniform wallwasher effect on the vaults and walls. Thanks to their size and position on the cornice, these luminaires are completely invisible to the faithful who can therefore enjoy an experience of devotion with no glare or any visual disturbance of any kind. The overall project has therefore given this sacred complex back to pilgrims and the citizens of Rome who can now fully enjoy its architectural, pictorial and devotional values while also saving energy.\r\n\r\n\r\nYear: 2019\r\n\r\nClient: Congregation of Passionist Fathers\r\n\r\nArchitectural project: Francesco Pezzini\r\n\r\nMaster Restorer: Paolo Violini\r\n\r\nRestoration design: Francesco Pezzini\r\n\r\nPhotographer: iGuzzini archive and multivideo', 'https://www.iguzzini.com/us/projects/project-gallery/the-sancta-sanctorum-complex-lighting-sacred-places/', 'iGuzzini-Sancta-Sanctorum-complex_small.jpg', 'iGuzzini The Sancta Sanctorum complex', 'The Sancta Sanctorum complex, Rome, Italy', 'Project The Sancta Sanctorum complex is located in Rome, Italy.

(748, 'ZTB014', 94, 'Primary and secondary school', 'Hard, Austria', 'Is it magic? At first glance, no luminaires can be seen on the ceilings, but the low-key, elegantly designed learning spaces are perfectly lit. The new primary and secondary school in Vorarlberg’s market town of Hard is characterised not only by its innovative educational approach but also by the pioneering lighting solution developed by Baumschlager Hutter Partners, lighting designer Bartenbach GmbH and Zumtobel. \r\n\r\nSchule am See. The name alone [Schule am See = \"school by the lake\"] makes you think of clear blue water, green meadows and panoramic vistas. And, indeed, the school complex with a large sports hall isn’t far from the lake shore. The new building, the work of architects Baumschlager Hutter Partners, is surrounded by large lawns with open-air sports facilities. While the comb-like shape of the building forms a strong “back” on the entrance side, the exterior space flows into the three inner courtyards on the lake side, broken up by open terraces. Boundaries become blurred. Transparency and openness are key – both in terms of design and the innovative educational approach. \r\n\r\nThe jointly run primary and secondary school is designed as a cluster school, as an open, flexible place to use, for all types of teaching, today and in the future. Each of the nine identical clusters is, to all intents and purposes, a small school in itself, consisting of three or four classes, each with two teachers. Within the classes, students in grades 1–3, 4–6 or 7–8 learn together. The younger children learn from the older children and vice versa, in changing teams in which everyone contributes according to their individual strengths.\r\n\r\nAn internal main hallway on the entrance side connects the clusters. During the day, the building gets plenty of daylight thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glass façade. At dusk and in darkness, LED light lines developed by Bartenbach GmbH and mounted in the top of the window elements provide a comparable lighting effect. From the main hallway, short access corridors lead into the clusters. Three large classrooms, a kitchenette, a staffroom and two relaxation rooms are all centred around an open, multifunctional centre. Clear lines, bright white furnishings, sky blue curtains, sophisticated all-glass partitions, the warm colours of the parquet flooring and plenty of daylight create a friendly atmosphere. \r\n\r\nJust as in the inner courtyards, boundaries are blurred here, too. Despite the various kinds of available space, each cluster appears as a uniformly designed area in which there are no hierarchies, but many freedoms: the freedom to use the space as required by the class, the freedom to reconfigure the individual rooms and one day perhaps also the partition walls, and the freedom to teach and learn everywhere. The lighting solution developed especially for this project by Bartenbach GmbH and the architects, and implemented jointly with Zumtobel, contributes significantly to these freedoms being used. All the more mysterious is the fact that at first glance no luminaires can be seen.\r\n\r\nThe secret? Ultra-streamlined, Pico LED light lines in tunableWhite. Integrated in a uniform grid exactly flush into the white exposed concrete ceiling, they initially look simply like structuring strips. Thanks to micro-faceted downlight technology and recessed LED light points with high gloss reflectors, they nevertheless enable optimum luminous efficacy and glare-free, almost invisible light. Customised daylight linking colour temperatures between 2,700 and 5,700 Kelvin are adapted to the biorhythms of teachers and pupils, thus improving well-being, attention and concentration. \"Teachers and students often aren’t aware of what creates the unique atmosphere in our school\", says head teacher Christian Grabher. \"But it’s down to the successful interplay of architecture, lighting and interior design. And the learning spaces, which, thanks to the glass façade, the glass partitions and the invisible but powerful luminaires, are light and airy\".\r\n\r\nLastly, the Schule am See uses Zumtobel’s ONLITE CENTRAL eBox central emergency lighting system, including all safety and escape-sign luminaires. Using the general lighting as a safety luminaire significantly reduced the need for safety luminaires throughout the school building. This makes the ceilings look much less ‘busy’, both in the main hallway as well as in the clusters and the entire sports hall wing. \r\n\r\nPico LED tunableWhite plays an important role in supporting innovative ways of learning and the flexible use of space. The same applies to the architecture. No matter where the partition walls within the clusters will be positioned in future, the modular continuous-row luminaires that run from one side of the building to the other – across the partition walls – enable uniform lighting and individual control of all areas of the cluster. “But the new luminaire is also groundbreaking because it facilitates ‘upward’ evolution for future innovations and new areas of application, such as in the office, at airports, etc.”, says Bartenbach GmbH project manager Robert Müller. If the school is extended as planned in a few years’ time, the luminaire can easily be fitted with the LED technology that will have been developed in the meantime, while maintaining its appearance.', 'http://www.lightlive.com/en/20181120-invisible-light-for-the-schule-am-see/', 'Zumtobel-Primary-and-secondary-school_small.jpg', 'Zumtobel Primary and secondary school', 'Primary and secondary school, Hard, Austria', 'Project Primary and secondary school is located in Hard, Austria.

(757, 'ZTB016', 94, 'State Gallery of Lower Austria', 'Krems, Austria', 'On 25th and 26th May 2019, the time has come: A new focal point of the Kunstmeile (art mile) in the town of Krems finally opens its wide and light-filled archways, as guests are invited to attend the official opening of the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich (Lower Austrian State Gallery). The five-storey building, designed by multi-award-winning architects Marte.Marte, has a major influence on this unique landscape at the gateway to the stunning Wachau World Heritage Site. The spectacular construction, reminiscent of a dancing cube, is brilliantly showcased with a lighting concept from Zumtobel.\r\n\r\n“When I say art, I mean the whole thing” is written in German in imposing letters on the walls of the newly built Landesgalerie Niederösterreich – a building that seems to stretch like a flexible and pliable cube in two different directions: to the historical city centre and to the famous River Danube. The intricate contours of the outer wall, with its spherically curved glass installations, have different effects from different perspectives. At certain points the arched surfaces appear to be an escape route, while at others, the facade looks more like an overhanging cliff face – sometimes calm and heavy, sometimes nimble and bursting with movement. The monochrome sculptural arts centre has been designed by the brothers Stefan and Bernhard Marte, founders of the Marte.Marte architectural studio. The Landesgalerie Niederösterreich boasts more than 3000 square metres of exhibition space and guides visitors through the new four-storey museum building to the presentation area in the basement, which in turn connects this venue to the neighbouring Kunsthalle Krems gallery.\r\n\r\nThe carved panoramic viewing terrace on the third floor and the large unevenly shaped glass arches in the entrance area help saturate the third floor and the ground floor with daylight. In stark contrast, the first and second storeys and the 850-square-metre basement are virtually devoid of windows. And with good reason: This is where light-sensitive pieces and valuable loan exhibits are shown. As the lighting partner of the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich, Zumtobel was faced with the complex challenge of combining conservation issues and economic goals with organisational factors and specific design requirements. And all in a comprehensive lighting concept.\r\n\r\n\r\nIlluminate artwork authentically\r\n\r\nOne major demand placed on the lighting solution was to present the artworks as authentically as possible. Zumtobel therefore used project-specific fittings that achieve optimal colour rendering (Ra > 90) for the general illumination of the exhibition areas. In addition, track luminaires with a colour temperature of 3000K – a warm and pleasant light colour – were selected by the Austrian lighting specialist for the floors without daylight. At the same time, visitors in areas where natural light plays a key role will experience a colour temperature of 4000K – a neutral-white tone that expertly simulates the light colour most closely associated with the middle of the day.\r\n\r\n\r\nIlluminate the bistro naturally\r\n\r\nA relaxed natural atmosphere is also created in the museum bistro, thanks to a range of customised ring luminaires and downlights featuring tunableWhite technology. These solutions echo the dynamics of natural light and deliver warm, neutral and cold-white light colours to ensure the right lighting mood. Depending on the specific requirements of the guests. And the time of day, naturally.\r\n\r\n\r\nIlluminate the stairwells cosily\r\n\r\nThe attractive ONDARIA round luminaire sets strong accents in the stairwells and generates a cosy and interesting atmosphere, using soft wide-area light to perfectly blend design considerations with the overall lit effect.\r\n\r\n\r\nIlluminate the outdoor area softly\r\n\r\nIn the outdoor area, at the front of the museum and on the viewing terrace and façade, the SUPERSYSTEM outdoor LED solution takes a new approach to outdoor lighting by putting the emphasis firmly on task-specific illumination. Multiple light tubes, carefully recessed in special square poles, form uniquely sophisticated light masts that even offer space for cameras and WLAN transmitters. In this way, the outdoor lighting enjoys real benefits in terms of visual quality, design competence and fine precision, while outstanding glare control boosts visual comfort and generates a real sense of well-being. SUPERSYSTEM outdoor modules have also been incorporated into the actual façade, which in turn is illuminated by Contrast 2 LED spotlights from the Thorn brand – another member of the Zumtobel Group family. These spotlights are equipped with holographic filters to ideally showcase the intriguing contours of the museum. All the exterior luminaires have been supplied in special colour finishes to complement the core architectural concept.\r\n\r\n\r\nCollaboration between Marte.Marte and Zumtobel\r\n\r\nThe state gallery in Lower Austria is not the first project in which Zumtobel has supported Marte.Marte with its specialist expertise. Indeed, Zumtobel has worked as a trusted lighting partner with the renowned architects from the Austrian county of Vorarlberg on numerous joint projects over the years. These include the impressive new buildings at the Messe Dornbirn presentation and events centre, the “Appearing Sculptural” and “Concrete Works” expositions at the Zumtobel Light Forum in Dornbirn, a collaboration at the 2016 Venice Biennale and a joint initiative in 2017 to devise the centrepiece for the opening of a new exhibition venue as part of the Art Bodensee contemporary art fair.', 'http://www.lightlive.com/en/20190520-more-a-sculpture-than-a-building/', 'Zumtobel-State-Gallery-of-Lower-Austria_small.jpg', 'Zumtobel State Gallery of Lower Austria', 'State Gallery of Lower Austria, Krems, Austria', 'Project State Gallery of Lower Austria is located in Krems, Austria.

A new light mood there­fore needed to be con­ceived using lumi­naires that would also not com­pete too heav­ily with the archi­tec­ture of the sur­round­ing build­ings. The resul­tant light con­cept was devised by Studio Can­dela in coop­er­a­tion with FSWLA and took into account the unique nature of the archi­tec­ture at Kirch­platz in Del­brück.

From the underground car park to the interiors designed in detail, right down to the outside, each element is designed according to precise reports of scale and language. The designers have woven a dialogue between the new building and its surroundings. Although the shape is recognizable, its presence is measured, thanks to its neutral and homogeneous colour. The dialogue is certainly not monotonous: the facade marks out full and empty spaces, alternating glass and zinc dry titanium panels. The syncopated rhythm accompanies the fifth fragments of the surrounding buildings. On the ground floor, permeability is the visual theme of the building: the building is raised on a light podium, the ground connection is not opaque, but fully glazed: the two upper floors are floating on the transparency of the ground floor. Activities that take place there are visible. The exteriors are to be experienced both day and night. During the nightime hours, the light becomes a local lady. Transparency is transfigured: lighting with copper tones, generated by light sources that originate from each of the windows, converts the complex in a tenuous urban lantern. The light also floods the interior of the building. At the main entrance, it opens up a spectacular triple height glass hall that illuminates the common areas, letting your sight move freely from one floor to the next. Every space, sober, moderate and refined, is designed to exceed the simple function: are we really in a bank? Lighting of offices and halls of representation is perfectly integrated to the acoustic ceiling system. In the basement auditorium, the wisdom of design is released and integrates with the light: the space is functional, but also theatrical. The brightness of the rooms is regulated by sensors. In the council room a work of art has been installed: a handcrafted, motorized chandelier consisting of 195 luminous cards in glass and brass, which resume and miniaturize the motif of the facade.\r\n\r\n\r\nplace: repubblica di san marino\r\nproject: archinow!\r\nlighting project: UpO\r\ntechnical sales consultant: maicol fedrigo\r\nphotos: giovanni de sandre', 'https://www.viabizzuno.com/en/projects/progetto/296/', 'Viabizzuno-Asset-Bank_small.jpg', 'Viabizzuno Asset Bank', 'Asset Bank, San Marino', 'Project Asset Bank is located in San Marino.

(772, 'VBZ002', 223, 'Amorepacific', 'Seoul, South Korea', 'Viabizzuno won the international design competition to develop and supply light fittings for the headquarters of Amorepacific, a Korean cosmetics multinational. With a total floorspace of 190.000sqm, the building is located in a former military area of Seoul currently undergoing urban redevelopment, on the border between the modern heart of the city and Yongsan Park, thus representing the meeting point between technology, human presence and nature. The David Chipperfield Architects studio of Berlin, in charge of the architectural design work, wanted to use light to give a strong identity to the different areas of the building. The headquarters is in fact a composition of areas with very different functions: museum, auditorium, offices and sales area. And so was born the concept of a family of lamps with the flexibility to carry out different functions, offering a high quality of light but with low energy and above all very low maintenance costs. The lighting design created by the Arup studio of Berlin investigates the relationship between natural and artificial light, therefore Viabizzuno lighting expresses quality and high color performance recognizing the well-being of everyone working within building of artificial lighting having excellent quality and colour rendering characteristics. Natural light enters the building through the large windows that are a feature of the façade, where a series of vertical aluminium elements provides a targeted control to eliminate any dazzling effect. Viabizzuno worked in close collaboration with the two Berlin studios to create a light that matches as closely as possible the characteristics of sunlight. To achieve this goal, Amp was born, lamps that are the only ones of this kind in the world, that revolutionises the way of conceiving optics. Indeed, Lensoptica amP, developed for this project, endows the light sources with a high level of efficiency, achieved using a very hightransparency material, polymethylmethacrylate which, by means of catadioptric prisms which reflect 90% of the incident light flow and transmit 10%, guarantees an indirect emission percentage that is unobtainable using a metal reflector. The emitting surface consists of a matrix of micro-lenses that precisely regulates the angular amplitude of the light beam. The lenses have different variations in terms of the beam of light emitted (narrow, medium, wide, elliptical) and of dimensions (150mm, 180mm). They are all equipped with n55 quick coupling connectors that allow installation on a propulsore dinamico n55 and guarantee maximum flexibility in managing the light required by the various areas and in accommodating any changes in the arrangement of the furnishings. To ensure the maximum spatial and visual comfort of those working in the building, the power supplies are integrated on board the lamp and flicker free dali dimmable drivers with a dimming range of 1-100% are used. The lighting design calls for specific colour temperatures for different areas: 4000K CRI of 98 for the offices, sales areas and common areas, while a temperature of 3000K, with a CRI of 98, was adopted for the restaurant and the museum. All of the electronic LED sources have a 1 step macadam ellipse. An important part of the project was the study of the assembly and wiring details that Viabizzuno has developed in collaboration with the architects, electricians and installers to simplify the installation of lighting equipment and make it effective. The Amp lamp body, consisting of a finned extruded aluminium heatsink, in fact provides for three different types of installation: ceiling, suspension or recessed. The last mentioned accounts for the majority of the more than 22.000 light fittings supplied. A bracket equipped with a mechanical centring system allows the luminaire to be secured to the floor, while at the same time ensuring positioning that is perfectly centred on each ceiling square. In this type of installation, a lens equipped with a casing is used to avoid illuminating the floor slab and the overhead systems. The ceiling mounted lamps have a body identical to the recessed version, differing only in the method of clamping. as required by the lighting designers of the Arup studio, the lens emits a light directed towards the floor, to which an indirect contribution is added to illuminate the ceiling. The suspended light fittings offer two solutions, both with direct and indirect light. In the restaurant, the architects chose to use n55 sospensione with a 55/350 type propulsore dinamico n55, equipped with 150 narrow optics, to concentrate the lighting on the table. In the monumental atrium of the entrance hall the second solution with suspended units was adopted, luminaires consisting of a 55mm diameter tube that supports the heatsink, equipped in turn with a narrow optics 300mm diameter lens. Configured in this way the lamp produces an effective flow of 6700lm, allowing the large volumes of the atrium to be illuminated effectively. Great attention was paid to the maintenance requirements, choosing to use a single lamp body and only three power supply models for the entire system, interchangeable lenses and light fittings that are easy to remove. The lighting performance of the amp family goes hand in hand with the concept of sustainable architecture, thanks to several characteristics including its high illuminating effectiveness, which reaches 114lm/W, and the possibility of recycling the materials used. In fact, in the event of a fault, the lamp body must not be disposed of. Instead it can be regenerated and installed anew, in order to maximize the recycling of the components. Thanks to the experience of Viabizzuno in the use of light, to the attention paid to the design by the Chipperfield studio and to the advanced research in the field of lighting of the Arup studio, this project has made it possible to develop lights fittings with the flexibility to meet different needs and with sophisticated optics, that offer light of very high quality.\r\n\r\nplace: seul, sud corea\r\nproject: david chipperfield architects berlino (christoph felger, hans krause)\r\nbuyer: amorepacific corporation\r\nphotos: christoph felger', 'https://www.viabizzuno.com/en/projects/progetto/260/', 'Viabizzuno-Amorepacific_small.jpg', 'Viabizzuno Amorepacific', 'Amorepacific, Seoul, South Korea', 'Project Amorepacific is located in Seoul, South Korea.

(784, 'BGA006', 40, 'RheinMain CongressCenter', 'Wiesbaden, Germany', 'Creating an identity with character in the context of traditional architecture\r\n\r\n\r\nHow do you efficiently integrate an innovative event venue for up to 12,500 visitors into an organically grown city centre architectural theme? The RheinMain CongressCenter in the heart of Wiesbaden is the answer to this architectural and urban planning challenge. Top modern architecture – a mix of traditional elements and a modern construction style – fits in well in a city centre with great architectural tradition.\r\n\r\nThe architect, Ferdinand Heide, proposed much more than an impressive drawing with a sophisticated and transparent building design that invites daylight in at every turn. The design integrates seamlessly into the urban surroundings of Hesse\'s state capital with a façade that is reminiscent of the great structures of one of the oldest spa facilities in Europe. The tall colonnades around the RheinMain CongressCenter serve as a reminder of some of the style elements found in the Wiesbaden Kurhaus and the state theatre.\r\n\r\nThe increasing importance Wiesbaden places on high-impact façades and their illumination at night is documented by the outward reflection of the structure, segmentation and materials used in the interior.\r\n\r\nOne key factor in the integration of the complex with the immediate urban neighbourhood of the Wiesbaden Museum and two ministerial complexes of the state is the separation into two distinctive parts by way of a public passageway. It means that pedestrians don\'t have to walk all the way around the centre to access the middle of the inner city. It additionally supports the core philosophy of the layout: the complex is not just an attraction for visitors – locals are invited to utilise the facility independent of scheduled events as well.\r\n\r\nA total of 45 event rooms and daylight-flooded lobbies are integrated into the RheinMain CongressCenter, including a hall for up to 9,000 people and a second large room for 3,200 guests. Portable wall elements add to the flexibility of the facilities. A grandstand system with 3,000 seats in the large hall can be retracted into a holding space designed specifically for this purpose. Spacious access options allow simultaneous events – in the halls and in the other, smaller conference rooms – each with their own infrastructure. Each one of these details is part of the ambitious goal of the planners: \"harmoniously integrated into its immediate surroundings on the outside, and the most innovative conference and events centre in Germany on the inside.\"\r\n\r\nThe CongressCenter benefits from underfloor heating via a heat pump. Peak loads are supplied via district heating from a biomass heat and power plant. The electricity for the heat pump is generated via the photovoltaic system on the roof of the great hall.\r\n\r\nThe complex was awarded the pre-certificate in platinum of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) three years before its official opening.\r\n\r\nThe high-end materials of the façade in warm shades of yellow and beige allow the RheinMain CongressCenter to seamlessly integrate into the existing Wiesbaden city centre with its great architectural tradition. Large green areas underline the transparency and permeability of the complex. \"The materials of the congress centre are characterised by natural stone and fair-faced concrete with a natural stone aggregate finish, as well as the wood panelling of the hall interiors\", explains the lead architectural firm Ferdinand Heide.\r\n\r\nThe supporting pillars of the metal and glass elements received a back-ventilated and thermally insulated stone cladding facing outward. The bases, columns and roof of the colonnades are made of prefabricated fair-faced concrete, which was given a natural stone look with relevant aggregates and a roughened finish. Accented lighting on the sophisticated façades keeps the focus on all the premium materials used – by day and by night. The clever interplay of the surfaces and colours with the illumination of this state-of-the-art structure has left an impression on the overall urban landscape of the state capital.\r\n\r\nHow do you integrate an innovative new construction like the RheinMain CongressCenter into the existing surroundings without interrupting the flow of the overall cityscape? The architectural firm Ferdinand Heide called their solution the \"layer principle. Features of the adjoining public spaces – be it the forecourt of the complex or the park in its immediate vicinity – reappear in the colonnades of the CongressCenter and continue on into lobby areas and to the various event halls.\"\r\n\r\nBEGA light building elements are the perfect medium for underlining this architectural structure on the exterior and creating a transition between the new complex and the existing cityscape at night through illumination. They add structure to exterior spaces and follow the movement of people on public areas like the forecourt of the CongressCenter. The light building elements also mirror the stylistic idiom of the cubic columns in the colonnades and create a harmonious connection between the representative forecourt and the entrance area of the CongressCenter.\r\n\r\n\r\nClient: TriWiCon, Wiesbaden\r\n\r\nArchitecture: Ferdinand Heide, Architect BDA, Frankfurt/Main\r\n\r\nLighting design: Day  &  Light Lichtplanung Frank Vetter, Munich\r\n\r\nPhotography: RMCC Thomas Ott', 'https://www.bega.com/en/references/rheinmain-congresscenter-wiesbaden/', 'BEGA-RheinMain-CongressCenter_small.jpg', 'BEGA RheinMain CongressCenter', 'RheinMain CongressCenter, Wiesbaden, Germany', 'Project RheinMain CongressCenter is located in Wiesbaden, Germany.

The project has been implemented for the Shanghai Municipality and involves dynamically lighting the iconic waterfront, three bridges and over 40 buildings in the financial and tourist districts. It is the largest, single, architectural lighting project in Signify’s 127-year history and illustrates the company’s leadership in unlocking the potential of connected lighting to transform cities.\r\n\r\n“The upgraded lighting system helps demonstrate Shanghai’s cultural heritage in a more vivid way, creating impressive night scenes in an energy efficient way,” said John Wang, President of Greater China, SVP, Signify. “It is an honor for us to illuminate Shanghai’s landscape with our connected lighting which can give municipalities control and real-time information on the performance of individual light points. In the future, this information could be input into smart city dashboards to give planners a 360-degree view of their smart city assets as China transforms its cities to be more efficient and livable.”\r\n\r\nSignify is committed to helping Chinese cities to develop more eco-friendly business and tourist landmarks by using connected LED lighting to lower energy use and reduce operating costs. The new lighting is expected to save the city 50-70% of its annual lighting costs when compared to previous areas lit by conventional lighting.\r\n\r\nThe switch-on of the massive display was witnessed by President Xi Jinping and foreign heads of state attending the opening of the China International Import Expo (CIIE), held for the first time in Shanghai.\r\n\r\nLocated in the Yangtze River Delta in China, Shanghai is a major financial and transport hub with the world\'s busiest container port and has grown to be China’s second largest city by population. As part of the regeneration of the financial and tourist districts of Shanghai, Signify has installed more than 50,000 Philips luminaires. These illuminate buildings along the waterfront as well as the Yangpu, Nanpu and Xupu bridges.  Its Interact Landmark system is being used to control and manage lighting on building rooftops and the three bridges.\r\n\r\nInteract Landmark provides dynamic lighting where each luminaire can be remotely monitored and controlled individually or in groups to create unique, dynamic night scenes on weekdays, weekends or holidays. Also, a late-night mode can be switched easily to facilitate energy saving and further extend the life of the lights. Furthermore, the Interact Landmark system is used to detect and manage faults, improve asset management and thereby reduce costs.\r\n\r\n\r\nTop Five Facts about Shanghai’s city illumination:\r\n\r\n1. In total there are more than 50,000 connected light points stretching 1.2km along the waterfront – a length equivalent to over 13 football pitches – as well as on three bridges: the Yangpu, Nanpu and Xupu bridges.\r\n\r\n2. In Pudong over 40 buildings are lit, including the Shangri-La Hotel and the Shanghai Jinmao Tower.\r\n\r\n3. At 1,380 feet, the Shanghai Jinmao Tower is the third tallest building in the city, featuring dots of light to give a sparkling effect on its red top. The red tops of the skyscrapers in Pudong are lit with over 27,000 Philips LED luminaires.\r\n\r\n4. A stunning red waterfall effect along the Huangpu river is created using Philips Color Kinetics LED luminaires which may be individually controlled.

NEW LOGIC VIII', 'Tilburg, the Netherlands', 'FULL-SERVICE PRECISION WORK WITH LED LIGHTING\r\n\r\n\r\nToday\'s distribution centres are no longer cubic \"boxes\" within purely functional utilisation surroundings but intelligent, sustainable and modern buildings that can be flexibly used, and for this reason they need to be individually tailored to the client. This was also the case with New Logic VIII in Tilburg, Netherlands, constructed for the logistics specialists DOKVAST.\r\n\r\nNew Logic VIII (floor area of approximately 50,000 m², located on the Kraaiven Industrial Estate) is not only custom-designed architecture but was conceived to achieve the BREEAM classification \"very good\". The construction authority and project developer received a sustainable, energy-saving and flexible building that speaks for itself. \"With approaches such as this where quality is focused on, the partners involved in the construction need to supply integral solutions and also perhaps different concepts than previously,\" explained TRILUX Managing Director Willem Dammers.\r\n\r\nThe chain of systems for the construction process in this case was no longer compiled based on offers but on specific customer requirements. \"We\'re increasingly communicating with the client at eye level, as a cooperation where both partners aim to create something together.\"\r\n\r\nThe consequence: TRILUX was able to function as general contractor in all questions of lighting. New Logic VIII was developed according to the principle of full-service. TRILUX supplied the complete gamut of LED lighting solutions as well as consultation, lighting design, emergency lighting, sensor technology, light management (together with co-supplier Helvar), BREEAM support, distribution, delivery, mounting, installation and maintenance.\r\n\r\nDammers continued: \"What\'s really special here is that the complete lighting was sourced from TRILUX – the lines of luminaires in the hall as well as the outdoor lighting. The complete lighting solution was offered as a full-service package, meaning that our client had no worries concerning organisational aspects and gained all-round support with everything to do with lighting.\"\r\n\r\nNew Logic VIII was designed according to the so-called energetic triad principle. Maximum energy savings are achieved because the building only consumes energy that is genuinely required and for this purpose it is equipped with the latest generation of LED luminaires. Motion detection enables the lighting systems to switch off automatically or change to idle state if light is not needed. The installations are equipped with the latest software so that employees can \"control\" the complete building via iPads. This was a function the client was particularly keen on, said Dammers. \"In a subsequent project with DOKVAST [editor\'s note: the recently completed project New Logic VI in Son] we\'ve progressed even further with the integration of state-of-the-art developments into the building design by establishing a link over the cloud to DOKVAST\'s recently developed software system.\r\n\r\nThis facilitates optimum coordination of an already excellent lighting efficiency with the operator’s efficiency monitoring.\"\r\n\r\nIntegrated services along with user-friendliness are factors where TRILUX continuously innovates, and such innovations are being increasingly implemented from a single source as part of custom tenders, as at DOKVAST in Tilburg, for example. \"This not only leaves the client with a better feeling, but also us – as co-creators of increasingly efficient buildings.\"\r\n\r\n\r\nClient and project developer: DOKVAST\r\nLocation: Kraaiven Industrial Estate, Tilburg, Netherlands\r\nArchitect: DENC\r\nBuilding contractor: Heembouw\r\nLighting: TRILUX (light management system: Helvar)\r\nConstruction period\r\nOctober 2015 – April 2016', 'https://www.trilux.com/en/blog/new-logic-viii-tilburg-netherlands/', 'Trilux-DOKVAST-B-V-NEW-LOGIC-VIII_small.jpg', 'Trilux DOKVAST B.V.

After all, water supply for the inhabitants is one of the essential services of the communal company. The architecture of Campus Arnsberg, the name of the new municipal authority headquarters, reflects this in the most emotional way – in the glazed design of the facade reflecting the purity of H2O, the large water feature at the entrance and blue accent lighting illuminating the building and outdoor areas.\r\n\r\nTRILUX Lutera 100 ground-recessed LED spotlights emphasise the striking look of the campus. Their blue light transforms the transparent structure of the fenestrated entrance area into a portal washed in blue. \r\n\r\nThe generously dimensioned fountain area in front of the Campus is displayed in a similar way. Lutera LED spotlights have been installed directly adjacent to the small fountain jets, bathing the slender columns of water from below in blue light – an eye-catcher creating an attractive atmosphere of light particularly at night.\r\n\r\nThe Campus is not only open in terms of architecture but also open to external users. The glazed entrance area and seminar rooms can be reserved for use by other municipal facilities, companies, clubs and associations.\r\n\r\nThe multifunctional appeal of the areas along with their adaptable lighting concepts also provides a professional backdrop for exhibitions, meetings, training events and seminars.\r\n\r\nSpecial importance was placed on the cost-efficiency of all systems used. For this reason a uniform LED solution was a must-have. \"We hit the nail on the head in terms of low maintenance costs and energy overheads,\" stated Campus coordinator Jan-Eric Hunecke. Mirona QL LED can be specified as being exemplary in this respect – this luminaire has been installed in the entrance area and provides high quality of light, good luminous efficiency with low power consumption. The LED spotlight is also capable of genuine marathon performances with a service life of up to 100,000 operating hours.\r\n\r\nA high-performance light management system was needed to further optimise efficiency and light comfort – the solution specified was LiveLink. Thanks to this system a further 30% of energy is saved in the seminar rooms via daylight and occupancy control. Adaptable light was needed here as well because both rooms can be combined to create a large hall. Various pre-programmed light atmospheres can be called with just a few clicks. \"Control via an app is very convenient if, for example, we want to dim the light during presentations,\" explained Jan-Eric Hunecke.\r\n\r\nIn summary, Campus Arnsberg is a successful example of multifunctional architecture in combination with energy efficiency, sustainability and lighting that reflects identity.\r\n\r\n\"We needed a strong industry partner for that,\" stated Hunecke. \"With TRILUX there to help us we could ideally achieve our target of an efficient and high-impact building construction.\"\r\n\r\n\r\nConstruction authority: Arnsberg municipal works\r\nBuilding: New campus construction for Arnsberg business location\r\nTRILUX product series:\r\nAltigo \r\nLumena 40 LED\r\n7402 LED\r\nPolaron IQ LED\r\nInperla LP LED\r\nAthenik LP LED\r\nLuceo LED\r\nOLEVEON LED\r\nLiventy Flat LED\r\nMirona QL LED\r\nArimoS LED\r\nAmatris LED\r\nSiella LED\r\nBelviso S LED\r\nLutera 100 LED', 'https://www.trilux.com/en/blog/campus-arnsberg-germany/', 'Trilux-CAMPUS-ARNSBERG_small.jpg', 'Trilux CAMPUS ARNSBERG', 'CAMPUS ARNSBERG, GERMANY', 'Project CAMPUS ARNSBERG is located in GERMANY.

Germany\'s fourth-largest software company demands maximum performance but offers attractive work conditions at the same time.\r\n\r\nIn the new DATEV building located in the Fürther Strasse an environment promoting and supporting creativity and performance has been established, and holistic lighting solutions from TRILUX contribute their part in indoor and outdoor areas.\r\n\r\nOver 6,000 light points were installed to create a homogeneous lighting infrastructure in accordance with a coherent overall concept. With planning, installation, commissioning and maintenance the complete solution also complies with all requirements regarding energy efficiency, design and light comfort.\r\n\r\nOne factor was clear from the start of the project – the aim was to create a location for well-being and to benefit as much as possible from daylight via efficient lighting. This principle applies to the complete building complex located in the Fürther Strasse, from the garden-like outdoor area and car park to the office building with its four inner courtyards. TRILUX as a full-service provider performed in all applications with its wide portfolio of products. With its holistic range of lighting services, TRILUX demonstrated to the client how simple handling light can be – in accordance with the company\'s motto: ‘Simplify Your Light’.\r\n\r\nThe complete building complex benefits from a significant amount of natural light thanks to large window areas in the facade as well as a saw-tooth roof design above the restaurant. High daylight levels in turn requires intelligent control of the artificial light, thereby enabling light comfort and energy efficiency to be optimised. This also applies to the systems at the workstations, consistently equipped with presence switching and daylight sensors.\r\n\r\nThe openly-designed office areas named Open Space with a maximum of 30 workstations benefit from lighting via free-standing luminaires which, with a combination of direct and indirect light, are especially VDU-compliant.\r\n\r\nAn on-site test with subsequent querying of the employees supplied convincing results – a clear vote for the Offset LED from TRILUX remembers Matthias Greim, responsible for planning and system technology at DATEV.\r\n\r\n\"Offset LED is ideal for computer screen work because it generates absolutely glare-free light thanks to a matt plexiglass insert.\" The lighting solution creates a positive, motivating light atmosphere and allows for pleasant working conditions.\r\n\r\nTRILUX also scored points with customised light in the open corridor areas of Open Space where Coriflex LED was installed. \"We needed to change the distribution characteristic to install the luminaires at the outer edge of the ceiling, and this was also in accordance with the architect\'s design specifications,\" explained Michaela Pranjic, Head of the TRILUX Competence Centre in Nuremberg.\r\n\r\nThe modern building construction offers its employees even more though: four inner courtyards for work zones and breaks were designed by the DATEV software developers themselves. Employees can retreat into their own oases of wellbeing. In the outdoor areas, the IT campus shows a side where feeling comfortable comes naturally. A green area was created in the form of the DATEV gardens, and the car park with a size of 4,500 m2 can be used by both employees and residents.\r\n\r\nThe area not only provides playing surfaces for boccia and chess but also boasts Nuremberg\'s longest park bench at 125 metres! The DATEV gardens present themselves in the best light during twilight hours. TRILUX 8841 LED bollard luminaires ensure safety and orientation. The asymmetric distribution characteristic also creates diverse illuminations that continuously fascinate.\r\n\r\nAs a consequence employees always benefit from the very best light – in the mornings while doing VDU work, during relaxing breaks in the inner courtyard and even on the way home through the DATEV gardens to the car park. The advantage for DATEV: with TRILUX as a partner, consulting, planning and complete implementation came from a single source. \r\n\r\n\r\nConstruction authority: DATEV eG\r\n\r\nBuilding: New construction of an office complex, Nuremberg, Germany\r\n\r\nTRILUX product series:\r\nOffset LED free-standing luminaire\r\nCoriflex LED special luminaire\r\nLumena 400 LED\r\nTRILUX product series\r\n8841 LED\r\nConStela LED\r\n5041 \r\nInperla \r\nOleveon \r\n3911 \r\n3912 \r\n8611', 'https://www.trilux.com/en/blog/datev-nuremberg-germany/', 'Trilux-DATEV_small.jpg', 'Trilux DATEV', 'DATEV, NUREMBERG, GERMANY', 'Project DATEV is located in NUREMBERG, GERMANY.

This is because the architects were inspired by the library’s contents and designed the facade to resemble a capillary system: Organically-shaped white glass mosaic fields, interacting with glass surfaces made of green-colored solar protection glass, draw a mesh over the slim cube and lend it its unmistakable form. The “capillary” lines of windows also affect the interior by creating a different sunlight illumination on every floor. Students find an attractive learning and working environment that meets today’s demands. Lounge-type learning zones and seating areas were freely arranged between the closed rooms.

Working closely with the team at internationally acclaimed design firm, Yabu Pushelberg, VISO design-engineered and manufactured a huge array of custom hotel lighting solutions for the property.\r\n\r\nThe design team at Yabu Pushelberg provided VISO with their ideas and inspirations, including sketches and images, to help our team create the fixtures YP envisioned for the property. While some of the sketches were very specific and included measurements and material requirements, some of the sketches simply indicated the inspiration and design intent. We knew that the Four Seasons and Yabu Pushelberg stood for the best of the best and therefore, we knew that our task was to create a luxurious and timeless design to support the interior elements.\r\n\r\nVISO’s work can be found in the restaurants, business lounge, ballrooms, meeting rooms, pool area, hallways and common areas. Utilizing elements such as brass, glass and resin, VISO created stunning custom hotel lighting fixtures, including the  brass chandelier that hangs in the lobby lounge. Other fixtures include custom ceiling installations on the ground and first floor, which utilize similar fixtures as the VISO Chestnut, rectangular pendant clusters in the meeting rooms, which utilize similar fixtures as the VISO Briggs, four large dome pendants in the first floor business lounge, a custom steel pendant lamp on the fourth floor dining area, a dandelion suspension lamp on the ground floor, geometric brass pedants in Elements Restaurant and glass and metal lanterns in the pool and spa area.\r\n\r\n\r\nPROJECT CHALLENGES\r\n\r\nOne of the main challenges was to create fixtures that met the size and the scale of the hotel. For example, the main chandelier presented one of our first challenges. Due to its unique design, the design and engineering team needed to work together to achieve balance in the structure’s architecture. The chandelier was designed with individual L-shaped pieces: if the pieces were not put together correctly, it would pose a structural risk to the chandelier as a whole. For this reason, the specific size and placement of each L-shaped piece needed to be calculated accordingly to find the precise joining/suspension point in order to achieve structural balance and symmetry in the space.\r\n\r\nAnother challenge was in the business centre of the hotel. The room has a low ceiling and the client wanted to have four dome fixtures that can absorb the noise over each meeting table. This way, meetings conducted in the room could not be overheard and privacy could be retained. At the same time, Yabu Pushelberg wanted the fixtures to have a metal finish, be manufactured in one piece and to have indirect light emanating from it.\r\n\r\nVISO’s team of designers and engineers came up with a new way to create a light that met all these requirements. They came up with a solution to create four extra-large domes made out of special acoustic resin to suspend over each meeting table. Next, the fixtures were finished with a special paint that proved challenging to apply. The paint, if finished properly, gives the carbon fiber the perfect metal finish. Finally, LEDs were installed inside the cove of the dome to provide a metallic glow, and on the top of the fixture to illuminate the ceiling with a soft glow. The result was a perfectly finished dome that met all the requirements.\r\n\r\nOn top of the technical challenges, there were cultural and communication challenges as well. VISO worked with the local team to coordinate site visits and installation and we had to make sure that nothing got lost in translation in order to ensure a smooth delivery and installation process.\r\n\r\nA project of this size and scope poses many challenges in relation to lighting. By drawing on its extensive design and manufacturing experience creating exceptional custom lighting solutions with production facilities in Canada and Portugal, VISO delivered a full custom hotel lighting solution for the Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait.\r\n\r\n\r\nDesigner: Yabu Pushelberg\r\nLocation: Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait At Burj Alshaya\r\nProduct: Custom', 'https://visoinc.com/custom-hotel-lighting-four-seasons-kuwait/', 'Viso-Lighting-FOUR-SEASONS-KUWAIT_small.jpg', 'Viso Lighting FOUR SEASONS KUWAIT', 'FOUR SEASONS KUWAIT', 'Project FOUR SEASONS KUWAIT is located in KUWAIT.

To achieve this goal, the designers decided that one of the things they needed to do was design several hotel lighting installations to bring new life to the interior space.\r\n\r\n\r\nDesign Challenge and Solution\r\n\r\nVISO was tasked with creating 2 custom light compositions for the property. The first feature is a large-scale structure for the lobby and features 4 custom canopies of VISO Alo suspended from the ceiling with 75 pendants on each. This installation was a challenge for the design team because of its scale. The lobby is an open atrium and rises up 3 floors. The task for our designers was to create a large-scale structure that doesn’t intimidate or overpower the existing architecture, which includes the glass elevators that bring guests up to their rooms.\r\n\r\nThe solution for 4 custom canopies of VISO Alo works perfectly for this space. Each canopy features 75 Alo pendants in Hairline Bronze hung at different lengths to create texture and contrast in the design and provide maximum coverage to the space without it being too overwhelming.\r\n\r\nThe second custom hotel lighting installation is for the main meeting room and features 112 custom light tracks with 5 or 6 pendants on each track, totaling 624 pendants for the entire installation. Each light track is finished in black powder coat matte and integrated within a series of metal plates suspended on the ceiling. This installation is a custom design and covers the entire ceiling in the meeting room to create a beautiful wave effect.

The listed historic coffered ceiling alone makes for a very special atmosphere.\r\n\r\nThe lighting in this space was required to meet the most sensitive of requirements: to highlight the ceiling as a discreet element, while at the same time ensuring the overall space was adequately lit. Using black PEND track to create two levels of track, Buschfeld came up with a solution that responds to the formal aesthetics of the space – whereby the track becomes practically invisible. Given that on one level the PEND track is aligned exactly to the layout of the coffered ceiling, thus rendering it practically a part of the wood paneling. The track-mounted LED LINE uplighter elegantly illuminates the ceiling.\r\n\r\nThe second level of lighting comprises a spacious geometric set-up of PEND track suspended from the ceiling, which appears to be floating discreetly in the space.

The arrangement of the furnishings, precious pieces of furniture and items from the Empire period has remained almost unchanged to preserve the original atmosphere.\r\n\r\nThe same criteria was behind the recent project by the company Cavazzoni Associati Engineering to modernise and make the Museum systems more energy efficient, and Targetti was chosen as the technical partner for lighting. Replacing the existing fixtures did not require any structural changes and allows the new lighting to highlight the works on display without interfering with the architectural elements in the different halls. The Bluetooth Casambi management system the fixtures are equipped with makes it possible to set different lighting scenes and manage luminous output depending on the real and specific needs of the different environments.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe project was focused on different functional areas:\r\n\r\n\r\nThe temporary exhibition area \r\n\r\nFor this area RAY MINI projectors with high colour rendering (Ra 97) with Zoom optical systems and onboard dimmers were chosen. This optical system allows to vary beam emission from 15° up to 60° and makes it possible to adapt lighting scenes to temporary exhibitions. Where a uniform effect on the walls was required projectors from the ZENO range with wall washer optics were used.\r\n\r\n\r\nPermanent collection exhibition area \r\n\r\nThe permanent collection is located on the ground and the first floors of the Villa.\r\nThe first floor has lower ceilings and smaller rooms: here tracks and projectors installed on the ceiling were used that do not interfere with the architecture and leave the space as free as possible from visual interference. For the exhibition on the first floor two lighting solutions were chosen: in the halls where there are smaller paintings on display on individual walls like for example for works by  Morandi, uniform lighting was chosen that covered the entire wall. To obtain this effect  ZENO projectors with wall washer optics equipped with Casambi control to manage luminous output were used. Where on the other hand it was necessary to focus on the works on display RAY MICRO fixtures were used. These extremely compact projectors were made specifically for the project with a very high colour rendering version (Ra 97). The ZOOM optic and the on board dimmer the RAY MICRO fixtures are equipped with allow for excellent calibration of luminous output.\r\n\r\nOn the ground floor where the main halls of the Villa are located: rooms with ceilings of various heights characterised in some cases by coffered ceilings.

The tower, designed by the architect Cesar Pelli in collaboration with the Chilean architectural firm Alemparte Barreda Wedeles Besançon, is part of the Costanera Center, a complex that covers an area of 47.000m² which includes, apart from the tower, a shopping centre and another three towers that house offices, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, 2 five-star hotels, a heliport, an aerial garden, a medical centre and free time facilities.\r\n\r\nThe building was designed entirely according to sustainable design criteria: from the construction process to the choice of materials as well as the design of the external walls. Water distribution, the air conditioning system and all plant facilities are managed using “green technology” with the double advantage of contributing to environmental conservation and to reducing operating and maintenance costs of the building itself. The same “eco-friendly” logic, the efficient use of electrical power and low maintenance requirements were also of fundamental importance for the lighting project and the choice of fixtures to be used which were supplied largely by Targetti. Other elements that were taken into consideration included visual comfort for users: the thousands of people who frequent the complex spaces every day, and the aesthetic appeal of the new architectural icon in the city of Santiago.\r\n\r\nThe use of recessed CCTLed downlights for the communal areas on the 70 floors of the tower made it possible to obtain a low power density equal to 7.2W/m² (almost 50% less than the level required for LEED certification) and ensures more than 50,000 hours of life which in the case of this building means more than ten years operation without any maintenance.

The construction of these two new lines not only changed the physiognomy of the metro network, but also contributed to the development of the city and it constituted a new transport solution for neighbourhoods previously unconnected to the underground network.\r\n\r\nThe integral solution that Lamp offered in order to respond to each space\'s different needs within the project, was key to winning the international competitive bidding of Line 6, which also required the compliance with international standards in infrastructure to achieve a world-class metro that incorporates new technologies and brings a whole new identity to its stations.\r\n\r\nMore than 3,500 linear metres of lighting using our STGO luminaire light up this new metro line. This luminaire was specially developed by Lamp for this project thanks to our  co-creation service based on technical and design specifications.\r\n\r\nThey accompany the 4,300 linear metres of lighting from the Filmed structure, also customized to obtain 5800 lm, and more than 450 units of other models such as Niu LED, Smap, B-side LED, and Flut, which make up the integral lighting solution that gives light to the 10 stations on line 6 along a 15.3 km route.\r\n\r\nThe main objective of the project was focused on enhancing and integrating the lighting system into the architectural plan. A lighting approach was proposed to accompany passengers on their journeys through the design of an integrated luminaire that would give continuity to the language of light. We also worked to achieve a good optimization of light intensity, as well as energy and maintenance optimisation.\r\n\r\nThe sustainability of the proposed solutions was one of the cross-cutting requirements that guided the main decisions of the entire project, accordingly, this line will make 6 out of every 10 trips using wind and photovoltaic energy.\r\n\r\nTwo types of lighting were differentiated in the project: architectural lighting and functional lighting.\r\n\r\nArchitectural lighting was considered to be the one intended for the areas of public access and to areas relevant for their integration into the stations\' architectural layout. The specific objectives of each of the zones were as follows:\r\n\r\n- Squares and exterior: to work with urban and pedestrian lighting which would accompany passengers on their way round. To meet that need, we mostly used our Niu LED and Smap lights. Meanwhile, it was also required to highlight the vegetation and provide signposting. In this case, we used B-side LED beacons.\r\n\r\n- Aedicule: In this space, the objective was to highlight the volumes by projecting light from the inside in order to raise the ceiling with indirect light and generate shielding. STGO structures were installed in this space.\r\n\r\n- Entrance area and ticket office / lockers: In this space, which sometimes featured double or triple ceiling heights, the objective was to generate a large strip of retro-style lighting of intermediate volume and to incorporate lines of light. Here, Filmed structures were installed at different heights.\r\n\r\n- Bridge level and galleries: the requirement to be complied with in these spaces was to provide a continuous linear light to accompany passengers on their journeys. STGO structures were used again.\r\n\r\n- Platform Level: in this case, the space had to be illuminated by integrated linear luminaire with direct and indirect continuous light. Again, STGO was the product installed in this space.\r\n\r\nFunctional lighting meanwhile was considered to be the one intended for operational areas, services and technical rooms. In staff-only areas and corridors, continuous linear lighting was provided; in technical rooms and at under platform level, waterproof and easy to maintain lighting was provided.\r\n\r\nOne of the most important features of this project was the development of specially manufactured STGO luminaire, as mentioned above. The idea was to create an integrated linear luminaire that would provide direct and indirect light for the platform sector and direct light for the bridge and gallery areas. The idea of direct and indirect lighting for the platform area arose as a response to the desire to provide a functional light over the waiting and circulation area, and an ornamental light towards the upper part of the vault, where a white enamelled vitrified steel covering would be installed, with a reflectance of between 80 and 90%.\r\n\r\nThis luminaire, installed at a height of 3.5 metres, was composed of an LED system and a design that allowed it to house its own power conduits, as well as making it possible to channel and integrate services feeding off weak currents such as the surveillance and emergency signalling circuit.\r\n\r\nAt Lamp, we are very proud to have been able to participate in this complex project that has taken many years of work and will benefit over a million people.\r\n\r\n\r\nArchitect:\r\nIDOM\r\n\r\nLighting Designer:\r\nIDOM – Marcela Acuña\r\n\r\nDevoloper:\r\nMetro de Santiago\r\n\r\nConstructor:\r\nFerrovial - Dragados\r\n\r\nEngineering:\r\nIDOM\r\n\r\nLamp Solution:\r\nMetro STGO, Filmed Led, Ring, Niu Led, Shot Led, B-Side, Gap, Fil, Bazz, Flut, Mini Flut, Smap Led\r\n\r\nYear:\r\n2017\r\n\r\nPhotography:\r\nAryeh Kornfeld K. - DRAFT', 'https://www.lamp.es/en/project/line-6-metro-of-santiago-de-chile_387981', 'LAMP-Line-6-Metro-of-Santiago-de-Chile_small.jpg', 'LAMP Line 6 Metro of Santiago de Chile', 'Line 6 Metro of Santiago de Chile, SANTIAGO DE CHILE, CHILE', 'Project Line 6 Metro of Santiago de Chile is located in SANTIAGO DE CHILE, CHILE.

Located in Victoria Harbour, steps away from the downtown core, the 28-ship facility welcomes passengers and crew from all over the world.\r\n\r\nThe facility consists of two 7,000 sq.ft. buildings which mirror each other in shape and design. The western building is the operations center, with conference space, crew amenities, marina offices and harbor authority. The eastern building hosts the Boom & Batten restaurant. Both are accented with a sloping roof that forms a canopy over the surrounding dock.\r\n\r\nCDM2 Lightworks/Vancouver Island was brought in to consult on the marina’s lighting. They were presented with very specific requirements for the exterior lighting, and in particular the luminaires that would be installed in the sloping canopy overhangs of the two buildings. \r\n\r\n“We were looking for form and function,” said Russell Mackie, a member of the CDM2 Lightworks team. It was vital that light was delivered exactly to the marina dock below without any light trespass.  The fixtures had to be able to withstand the severe weather conditions of the Pacific coast and sustainability was key. The lighting also had to complement the luxury finishes and aesthetics of the marina.\r\n\r\nThe design team selected Luminis’ Oculus OC750, a recessed downlight, for the building canopies; a total of 65 fixtures were installed in the two buildings. “This optic was the only one of its kind on the market, ticking all the boxes we needed for this project,” said Mackie.\r\n\r\nThe adjustability of the Oculus light module within its main housing made it a compelling choice for the marina overhang. Taking advantage of the optic’s tilting mechanism and 360° adjustable rotation, it was possible to manipulate the angle of illumination in each fixture along the canopy’s curve to parallel the surface they were illuminating. The result is illumination that is directed precisely down to the dock below, ensuring excellent visibility and safe passage for marina employees and yacht passengers. \r\n\r\nEqually important, there is no light trespass beyond the marina buildings. Because the facility faces onto a public walkway and residences beyond, the project engineers had required that the selected luminaires provide superior optical control so that lighting would not spill over to land or the harbour itself. Oculus’ 30° optic precisely delivers 3,500 lumens exclusively to the marina docks.\r\n\r\nExtreme wind and water conditions were also a factor in choosing the exterior lighting.  Mother Nature throws a lot of challenges at the Victoria Harbour location. “Waves crash over the docks. And horizontal salt water gets thrown against the marina buildings with the wind,” noted Mackie.  With an IP66 rating, everyone was confident that Oculus could withstand the harsh weather conditions.\r\n\r\nSitting on Canada’s pristine west coast shoreline also meant that the marina owners were committed to preserving the harbor and the local environment. The green facility was constructed with sustainable solutions wherever possible, including Luminis’ Oculus. Its LED light module is designed for optimal heat dissipation and lighting performance.  Its durability and a lifetime beyond 70,000 hours ensure the marina can anticipate low maintenance and a significant contribution to their overall energy savings. \r\n\r\nAesthetically, the entire team could not be happier with the result. Mackie said, “Oculus fits perfectly into the arched design of the building and accentuates the beautiful lines of the architecture.”  \r\n\r\nVictoria International Marina’s mission statement includes ‘creating remarkable experiences’ and one imagines that passengers and crew arriving at this unique Pacific Northwest facility can expect just that, through upscale amenities and services, and superior well-illuminated docking facilities, no matter the weather.\r\n\r\n\r\nPROJECT NAME: Victoria International Marina\r\nLOCATION: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada\r\nCATEGORY: Exterior Lighting\r\nPROJECT COMPLETION: May 2018 \r\nLUMINIS AGENT: CDM2 Lightworks\r\nPHOTOGRAPHY: Ryan HK', 'https://www.luminis.com/inspiration/featured-projects/lighting-remarkable-experiences-at-canadas-first', 'Luminis-Victoria-International-Marina_small.jpg', 'Luminis Victoria International Marina', 'Victoria International Marina, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada', 'Project Victoria International Marina is located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

This concerned the areas air condition, fire protection, energy efficiency and, of course, lighting. During the redevelopment however, the historical ceilings had to be reconstructed. In the context of this measure, the building was given a more efficient lighting system.\r\n\r\nThe joint pattern, the format and the structure of the heritage-protected ceiling were transferred perfectly to the modern cooling ceiling. The new lighting also had to be adapted to the existing heritage-protection requirements, and had to assume the original appearance. To reduce operating and maintenance costs, efficient LED downlights were installed instead of the previous downlights with compact fluorescent lamps. Thanks to standardised diameters, the current LED downlights also fit into the existing ceiling cut-outs without additional work being required - in this case into the reconstruction of the original ceiling system.\r\n\r\nAdvantages of the latest LED technology compared to classic lighting with compact fluorescent lamps are the higher useful life of 50,000 hours with the resulting reduction of up to 68% in operating and maintenance costs, greater system efficiency with relevant energy and corresponding CO2 savings, the possibility of adapting the luminous colour to the use of the room and lower heat emission into the room, thus saving on air conditioning costs.\r\n\r\nThe result is a new ceiling that combines the aesthetics of the 1960s with the latest building technology.\r\n\r\n\r\nProject data\r\n\r\nArchitecture: Assem Architekten, Karlsruhe\r\nLighting design: Carpus & Partner, Aachen\r\nDeveloper: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, vertreten durch Staatliches Hochbauamt Karlsruhe\r\nPhotography: Stefan Baumann, Karlsruhe, www.bild-raum.com\r\n\r\nLuminaires: TENTEC ZONO downlights', 'https://schmitz-wila.com/en/inspiration/projects/community/federal-constitutional-court/', 'SCHMITZ-WILA-Federal-Constitutional-Court_small.jpg', 'SCHMITZ | WILA Federal Constitutional Court', 'Federal Constitutional Court, Karlsruhe, Germany', 'Project Federal Constitutional Court is located in Karlsruhe, Germany.

It has 34 general classrooms, 10 music, drawing, crafts and sewing areas, as well as a photo lab. There are also 11 classrooms reserved for natural sciences. As part of a coherent overall concept, the degree of identification of the individual parts of the building is very high.\r\n\r\nFor the conference and office spaces lighting designer named Hubert Saegmüller of light technology and design decided to use the VARIATIC pendant luminaires because of its parabolic louvres with an UGR value higher than 19.\r\n\r\nThe floors, staircases and relaxation areas have a mix of grand dimensional CLEAR surface-mounted luminaires in a special mounted version and efficient TENTEC ZONO downlights with high quality. Especially the combination of flat and accentuated lighting set architectural accents.\r\n\r\nThe inclination of the CLEAR surface-mounted luminaires by 4° additionally provides exciting aspects in the design. The formal reduction and subtle materiality of aluminum and white acrylic predestined the CLEAR family as a starting point for the architectural ceiling design.\r\n\r\n\r\nProject data\r\n\r\nArchitecture: BKS Bauer, Kurz, Stockburger & Partner, Munich\r\nLighting design: H.

With Hoare Lea Lighting, WILA designed and manufactured a large percentage of the luminaires, customising a standard WILA luminaire to meet the architectural brief. Together with architect Herzog & de Meuron and lighting designer Hoare Lea Lighting a full portfolio of luminaires was developed to complement the building’s curved circular form.\r\n\r\nThe largest of the LED luminaires is the Halo Pendant with a diameter of 650mm which produces up to 3675Llm of 4000K light with a direct/indirect distribution, achieving up to 112Llm/W. The Halo’s body is produced using steel finished in RAL9007 grey aluminium, this is combined with a bespoke rod suspension and ceiling rose fixing detail. The DALI driver is housed within the central mounting bar specifically for ease of maintenance.\r\n\r\nWithin the Blavatnik School’s two horseshoe-shaped lecture theatres on the ground floor recessed Halo 450mm circular luminaires have been installed throughout. These fittings utilise a low glare Microprismatic optic whilst still retaining a high efficacy.\r\n\r\nThe cellular office spaces located around the perimeter of the upper floors include the Halo surface mount luminaire. Again these utilise the low glare Micro-prismatic optic. Although the luminaires have 90% DLR, they also feature an indirect element adding to the visual interest of the installation.\r\n\r\nWith polished concrete throughout the building the feature spiral staircase is a focal point within the building. Pendant 200mm diameter direct/indirect Halo luminaires have been installed at evenly spaced locations along the staircase.

The listed building erected by architects Walther and Bea Betz has now been subjected to an energy-oriented refurbishment as well asextensive interior re-design in line with a HENN design. \r\n\r\nSince being commissioned in 1981 this office tower has undergoneseveral changes before it was declared a listed monument in 2006. In contrast with the façade the interior of the building was no longer retained in its original state and could therefore be completely re-vamped as part of the refurbishment. \r\n\r\nThe offices of the 114m high HVB Tower are laid out as open-plan spaces for flexible workstations. The foyer is lit with 2 types of fittings only; linear luminaires that follow the passageways between the building complexes and emphasise the building’s structures and downlights that illuminate all of the other areas. Of decisive importance for lighting designer Michael Schmidt of Schmidt König Lichtplaner in Munich was to achieve a consistent and unobtrusive appearance of the downlights used despite the different lighting tasks they had to perform and their discreet integration. This was precisely why he opted for downlights from product families ALPHABET and TENTEC. The diversity of light emission characteristics provided downlight series permitted various functions to be performed and requirements to be fulfilled with identical diameters and a consistent look. In addition to this the slim rim of the f3 mounting system, which is only 2mm high, makes for unobtrusive integration into the ceiling.\r\n\r\nThe wattage of the downlights used varies from 10W in the passageways to 39W in the lectures zones. Rigid reflectors with a 40° or 60° beam spread angle are used alongside tiltable ALPHABET SPECTRA downlights with a 30° beam spread angle serving as directional fittings for accent lighting in the Food Court area. On top of this, the ALPHABET SPECTRA series of downlights ensures premium colour rendering with Ra98 and guarantees a uniform luminous colour of all luminaires over their entire lifecycle. In addition to this, TENTEC ZONO downlights were used for surface illumination as they combine highest visual comfort with maximum efficiency.\r\n\r\nThe extensive energy upgrade of the façade, the use of ecological construction materials and the consistent use of renewable energieshave turned the HVB Tower into a “green building” and it has already received a LEED-certification in Platinum. An important contribution to this was the automation of the luminaire control, planned by the engineering office Knab from Munich.\r\n\r\n\r\nProject data\r\n\r\nArchitecture: HENN Architekturbüro, Munich\r\nLighting design: Schmidt König Lichtplaner, Munich\r\nElectrical design: Ingenieurbüro Knab, Munich\r\nPhotography: HGEsch, Hennef\r\n\r\n\r\nLuminaires:\r\n\r\nALPHABET SPECTRA\r\nTENTEC ZONO', 'https://schmitz-wila.com/en/inspiration/projects/finance/hvb-tower/', 'SCHMITZ-WILA-HVB-Tower_small.jpg', 'SCHMITZ | WILA HVB Tower', 'HVB Tower, Munich, Germany', 'Project HVB Tower is located in Munich, Germany.

The church, dedicated to Saints Peter and Stephen, is a Renaissance building with Baroque inserts. The wide white façade, made of Castione stone, rises above the city centre.\r\n\r\nB LIGHT has been chosen for this project as the supplier of a new series of LED luminaires, specifically designed for the lighting requirements of the Collegiata. In order to provide direct, indirect and accent lighting, B LIGHT has designed three custom projectors and a new custom made version of the Linear Tube – a linear luminaire. All of the luminaires in the church have a color rendering index of CRI>97, which makes it possible to recreate colors as closely to reality as possible.\r\n\r\nThe 38 asymmetric projectors (with a power of both 17W and 36W) placed along the sides of the central nave and around the dome are rectangular, made of extruded aluminum and have a white, opaque finishing. Moreover, thanks to an aluminum supporting clamp, the projectors are 180° adjustable on the horizontal plane and can beam the light in different directions: namely towards the vault, the choir and the apse.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, 62 adjustable projectors were located on the cornices in two versions: 17W or 36W – in order to illuminate the architectural details, the decorations and the paintings on the altar, the transept and the two altarpieces. Furthermore, B LIGHT has manufactured 20 smaller projectors, with a wattage of 17W, placed on the four corners of the presbytery, along the sides of the transept and towards the choir for the illumination of various details, such as statues and paintings.\r\n\r\nRemarkably, these luminaires have an adjustability of 180° on the horizontal plane and a double adjustability of 180° on the vertical plane, thanks to aluminum brackets. The brackets can be extended up to 65 mm and are equipped with metallic blocks to direct the beam of light onto the selected spots and to guarantee a stable position. The finishing, characterized by Carrara White powdered paint, perfectly suits the architecture of the Church. To complete the lighting project, B LIGHT has created 33 linear systems with Linear Tube’s custom version, installed on the cantilevered cornices along the transepts.\r\n\r\nBy using two of the features of B LIGHT luminaires, namely, the flicker-free electronic for HD Tv footage and the option of dimming the luminaires from 1% to 100% trough high frequency Pulse-width modulation (PWM), this project has provided a lighting control system. The luminaires in fact calibrate the light intensity trough a DMX control system that provides various light modulations, depending on the occasion or the religious function.\r\n\r\nThe final result is extraordinary: a light that is able to guarantee clear visual comfort and create a warm and welcoming environment. The interiors of the Collegiate Church can now boast an efficient and long-lasting lighting system which respects the cultural heritage housed within the Cathedral.', 'https://www.b-light.it/en/portfolio/la-collegiata/', 'B-Light-COLLEGIATE-CHURCH_small.jpg', 'B Light COLLEGIATE CHURCH', 'COLLEGIATE CHURCH, Bellinzona, Switzerland', 'Project COLLEGIATE CHURCH is located in Bellinzona, Switzerland.

Each detail of the structure, a magnificent pavilion of 25.000 sqm, was studied in order to transmit values which, in 1971, led to the union of seven Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujaira, Ras al-Khaima, Sharja e Umm al-Qaywayn) in one nation. The intention of the building’s futuristic design, through the symbology of the elements used, is to offer a visual representation of UAE’s history.\r\n\r\nThe technical-lighting project was realized by Umaya Lighting Studio based in Dubai, one of the most innovative emerging lighting studios in the Middle East. Umaya used B LIGHT’s know-how for the outdoor lighting of this majestic project. The aim of the project is to make the Museum’s stunning architecture stand out and to emphasize the uniqueness of its structure. The wavy shape of the building is designed to remind us of the shape of the unification Treaty of the UAE, whilst the seven tapering columns symbolize the pens used by the Founding Fathers of UAE, the seven sheiks who signed the Union Agreement in 1971. Each element in the planning of the Museum represents fundamental symbols and meanings for the UAE, highlighted by a skillful use of light.\r\n\r\nMinimal design, refined finishes and high performance of B LIGHT’s luminaires perfectly embrace Umaya’s wish to create lighting schemes which not only complete the architecture of the Etihad Museum from the functional point of view, but above all enhances it aesthetically.\r\n\r\nAgena is a compact inground, walkover luminaire and was chosen to illuminate the wide entrance avenue of the Museum and its pedestrian paths. The electronic control of operating temperature through a thermal sensor makes it particularly suitable for challenging outdoor environments, which can reach high temperatures and have a high temperature excursion. This grazing steplight blends perfectly in the architecture, illuminating walkways with elegant light effects.\r\n\r\nIn the outdoor visitors’ transit area, Button DO was chosen to emphasize the structure’s soft lines and to give an almost futuristic atmosphere to the great pavilion. Ideal for creating luminous paths in modern contexts, Button DO is a LED recessed inground luminaire and belongs to B LIGHT’s Drive Over family. The RGB version was chosen for the Etihad Museum, to create greater effects through the use of different light colours, which generate new and scenic atmospheres.\r\n\r\nB LIGHT’s innovative spirit and professionalism together with its high quality luminaires have made lighting an iconic element, a symbol of modernity and change.

(834, 'FOP008', 45, 'Kellogg Co. New Office', 'Chicago, IL, USA', 'Endeavoring to consolidate its inventory of small offices spread across downtown Chicago, Kellogg Co., relocated employees to a new space in one of Chicago’s most iconic buildings, the Merchandise Mart. Since opening in 1930, the Merchandise Mart, centrally located in the heart of the city, has represented the epitome of wholesaling. Built by Marshall Fields to consolidate its warehousing operations, it was owned by the Kennedy family for over 50 years, and is now home to high-end showrooms. In recent history, it has attracted architectural and interior design vendors, tech start-ups, and more. It is befitting that one of America’s best-known brand names, with a history dating back to the very early 1900s, would host fifty global growth and information technology focused employees in this at once historical and modern environment. The maker of popular breakfast foods such as Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes cereals, and Pop Tarts joined a long list of leading brands residing in the historic art deco style structure. The office renovation was the collaborative creation of The Architect’s Partnership, Ltd. (TAP) and Kellogg’s Chief Growth Officer.\r\n\r\nFollowing its motto “Working Together for Solutions that Work”, TAP listened to the needs of the client to create a modern yet functional office that preserved the buildings’ historic integrity and embraced the local community. Supporting the Chicago community through locally sourced materials would become undoubtedly a valuable decision. “The client was heavily involved in all details of the space, from layout to hand selecting furnishings and décor” stated Natalie McElligott, Associate Architect at TAP. “It was clear the client had a vision for the space: a clean, white, and modern style,” added McElligott.   \r\n\r\nOver the course of 8-months, the space underwent a complete transformation. “It was a difficult project from a build-out standpoint, there were a lot of logistics because we were working on the floor above a high-end kitchen and bath showroom” stated Eugene Mason III, Superintendent at Power Construction, the general contractor for the project. Previously occupied by a radio station, the second-floor space contained a black painted ceiling and walls, creating a dark and enclosed environment. The dark ceiling was removed and the open ceiling painted white to brighten and open up the space. Drywall was removed, revealing the original brick walls and exposing the building’s natural character. To further contribute to the open, modern, and transparent feel while also providing a sound barrier for private conversations, glass walls were used for conference rooms.\r\n\r\nAs the project took shape, the experienced designers of TAP took note of the monochromatic palette being formed by the natural and industrial elements. To offset the sterile feel, yet maintain the simple aesthetic, communal seating areas were created with bold colored vintage and custom furniture. The bright colors create visual interest and can be seen from most areas of the open office. Lighting needed to support these multi-use areas while blending harmoniously into the architectural surroundings and elevating the modern aesthetic.\r\n\r\nIndividual Nera linear luminaires were suspended over workstations; the angular optic lens and 60 indirect / 40 direct distribution providing uniformity on the ceiling and work plane. Clustering four 4ft x 4ft Nera pendants was an innovative way to play with the simple form while creating a statement piece: an oversized chandelier suspended over the collaboration spaces, that helps define the area while providing general illumination. A combination of continuous rows and square pendant Nera luminaires grace the boardroom, conference rooms, meeting spaces and hallways for a uniform look. Selecting Nera also procured the project team with a short lead time and easy access to customer assistance, all while supporting the local economy.\r\n\r\nAs with many tenant buildout projects, tight deadlines intensified the need for seamless coordination with multiple vendors. During the buildout, ductwork was installed too close to the linear runs of Nera luminaires, interfering with the indirect illumination. Two luminaires were already installed when the issue arose however, the fast reaction of the Focal Point Field Service team allowed the project to continue without disruption to the schedule. “Focal Point’s Field Service team addressed the issue quickly, they were in and out with ease,” mentioned Mason, a 20-year veteran of the industry.\r\n\r\nDespite the unique constraints posed by transforming a space in one of Chicago’s iconic buildings, home to high-end showrooms, and a very tight schedule, the project turned out to be a success. The office fuses modern and classic elements, resulting in a functional statement, and garnering praises from Kellogg. “I received direct communication from the client on how pleased they were with the overall project. I myself thought it was beautiful, the flooring and lighting were really the showpieces of the space,” stated Mason.', 'https://www.focalpointlights.com/gallery/open-office#overlay=modal-overlay/5564', 'Focal-Point-Kellogg-Co-New-Office_small.jpg', 'Focal Point  Kellogg Co.

Furthermore, a balance of hard and soft materials was chosen to elevate the experience and the acoustic perception, accommodating a high number of visitors in a pleasant environment both for sale and event activities. The concept of lighting of the space is based on an integration between some decorative elements and the homogeneous and diffused lighting offered by recessed Reflex CoB, fixed and adjustable, with a mix of optics ranging from medium to wide flood, all linked by the color temperature of 3000 K and by CRI 90.

Together with this, the nearby airport with many different flights provenience and destinations, imposed to choose of very precise luminaires with narrow beam able to illuminate the building without blinding the pilots flying in.\r\n\r\nThe second challenge was the proximity to the ocean with very salty air and the high humidity grade.

This represents a challenge that can be overcome with products of good quality which generate very low heat and improved with water-stop system so to assure a good functioning of the LED circuit and of the entire system during the years. \r\nA good water stop system can be identified with the presence of a pre-cabled luminaire  that doesn\'t require any manipulation for being installed but simply the connection with the main circuit.\r\n\r\nThe second one, much more positive, is the chance to integrate the LED product into the architecture thanks to their renovate design and miniaturized dimensions.

The elegant urban regeneration project reunited this public space of important social and architectural value with the city of Hamilton. The lighting elements fit into the context in a perfect balance between materials and the shape of spaces.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe project conceived by Edwards White Architects and implemented by Schick Civil Construction, consists of a large urban park overlooking the Waikato River and placed in the heart of the business district of the city of Hamilton, New Zealand.\r\n\r\nThe initiative of the City Council , began from the need to restore a former industrial site, which originally housed  the printing presses of the local newspaper \"Waikato Times\" . It was later converted into an underground parking and finally it became a wide urban area abandoned to urban decay.\r\n\r\n\r\nA river park to connect nature and city\r\n\r\nThe project aims to link this abandoned area to the city, trying to make the most of its special position and creating meaningful visual and physical connections with one of our cities best natural assets. The concept of Edwards White Architects revolves around two important visions. The first is the idea of a destination where people can rest, interact and enjoy the river views. The second, but no less important, is the concept of a device that links the different  levels of the lower river path, upper promenade and main street.\r\n\r\nThe choice of materials played a significant role because it was able to create a gradual integration between the site, located on the edge of the built environment, and the natural environment of the river. The basalt stone walkways, the urban concrete and wood furnishings, the diverse surfaces marked with Corten steel elements, come together to create a refined palette of colors.\r\n\r\n\r\nLight as a \"luminous piece\" of urban design\r\n\r\nThe idea of a river park conceived as a resting point where to meet and interact, become really effective if this elegant amphitheater maintains its vocation even during the evening hours. \r\nThe lighting fixtures to be installed in a public space must meet some essential requirements: strength, durability and low energy consumption. From the aesthetic point of view, the luminaire had to become like items of  urban furniture and satisfy the guidelines of the architect, constantly oriented towards meticulously detailed urban design. \r\n\r\nThe perfect integration of these \"luminous pieces\" with the stepped gardens, terraces and boardwalks that characterize the architectural project, was the main goal of the lighting concept.\r\n\r\nThe Concrete bollard was the fixture chosen among the various solutions offered by Simes: a product that seems to have been specifically designed to fit this urban space. During the day it furnishes the space with its simple and rigorous forms; at sunset it becomes a luminous sculpture with a strong emotional impact and it makes the space pleasantly usable even in the evening hours.\r\n\r\nThis bollard is a concrete volume that hides an aluminum core where LED source is housed. Concrete is a living material that ages, transforms and evolves absorbing the surrounding colors, blending, integrating and interacting with the architecture. The aluminium takes on the more structural part whilst the concrete a more aesthetical function leaving the emotional role to the lighting effect.\r\n\r\n\r\nPrizes and awards\r\n \r\nEdwards White Architect has been awarded with the recognition of the \"Golden Pin\" in the \"Public and Institutional Spaces\" category by the Designers Institute of New Zealand, for the build quality and the high comfort level of the site.    \r\n\r\n\r\nArchitectural project: Edwards White Architects', 'https://blog.simes.it/en/victoria-on-the-river-concrete-bollard', 'Simes-VICTORIA-ON-THE-RIVER_small.jpg', 'Simes VICTORIA ON THE RIVER', 'VICTORIA ON THE RIVER, Hamilton, New Zealand', 'Project VICTORIA ON THE RIVER is located in Hamilton, New Zealand.

The ground floor showcases models like the A35 and CLA45, in addition to SUVs: GLC, GLE and GLS. The top floor features cars from an even higher price range.

Our aim is to replicate the high standards of our dealer environment, creating a consistent light of 1,000 lux at 900mm. We chose TRILUX because they specialise in high standard light fittings and were recommended to us. They could provide a linear LED light fitting that provides consistent white light with colour rendering index 90 or above - which are the core lighting requirements within a Bentley retail environment. Furthermore, we wanted to trial the TRILUX lighting with a view to recommend this to our dealer network.”\r\n\r\nGareth Quarterly, International Key Account Manager at TRILUX Lighting describes the solution,\r\n\r\n“E-Line LED delivers a high level of light and light quality to accentuate the exceptional design and lines of the cars, whilst the Live Link lighting management system allows the Bentley consultants to flexibly and easily individualise the space.”\r\n\r\nLouise, continues, “The lighting is a major factor in making the space so successful.

Such was the thought in Westerkappeln in North Rhine-Westphalia, and the town waited for the ‘right’ luminaire to refurbish their historic church square – the Emporium LED from TRILUX.\r\n\r\nIt now serves to showcase the town’s ‘front room’ of in the very best light. Patience on the constructor’s end was necessary – there was not only a wish for a special luminaire design, but also primarily one for future-proof LED technology. The managers took a liking to the design of the Emporium, at the time only available with conventional light sources.\r\n\r\n\"The Emporium took centre stage in the refurbishment project, however,\" explained lighting designer Hans-Georg Flick. No problem at all for the luminaire manufacturer –\r\n\r\nTRILUX engineers developed a special solution with the desired digital system. The faceted reflector in the luminaire head allows the light distribution to be optimally matched to the special architectural features of the church square and the Emporium’s Multi-Lens Technology also makes it especially flexible.\r\n\r\nIn the early morning hours, the luminaire\'s lighting intensity is reduced via power reduction, thus saving energy and cutting costs – a genuine environmental plus for the historic church square.\r\n\r\nThe site covers around 5,100m² and is laid out with red paving bricks and serves as the community’s ‘front room’. The annual funfair and traditional pumpkin festival take place on ground steeped in history – the church was constructed in the twelfth century.\r\n\r\n\"Illumination for heritage squares and buildings is a special matter, of course,\" stated Flick. Everything needs to be matched: \"The luminaires should not only highlight the complete building, but also individual materials such as the floor and sandstone of the church.\" \r\n\r\nShowcasing the heritage building was certainly a success, as reported by Mansour Rahmian, Deputy Chief of the Westerkappeln municipality. \"The Emporium was installed in addition to floodlights and ground luminaires to illuminate the church building and the effect is very impressive indeed.\" A combination of luminaires from five TRILUX outdoor product ranges was used to complete the refurbishment project. Not only was the centre-piece of the community illuminated, its walls were as well – Pareda recessed wall spots illuminate the sandstone passage and stairway leading from the church square towards the town centre.\r\n\r\nTRILUX is well-known in Westerkappeln, as street-lighting leading up to the church square had also been sourced from the luminaire specialists from Arnsberg. \"The lighting leads the way towards the church square – everything simply matches,\" said a pleased Hans-Georg Flick.\r\n\r\nA unique lighting solution for a historic environment – TRILUX once again proves its wide range of lighting expertise and underlines its brand message of ‘Simplify Your Light’, representing individual planning, optimum light and simple processing steps.\r\n\r\n\r\nConstruction authority: MUNICIPALITY OF WESTERKAPPELN\r\n\r\nProject data: Church square and stairway 5,100 m2\r\n\r\nLighting design: Flick Ingenieurgemeinschaft - Ibbenbüren, Germany\r\nWWW.ING-FLICK.DE\r\n\r\nTRILUX product series: Emporium LED, Lutera 200, Pareda, Lumena 400, 9831 LED-MLT', 'https://www.trilux.com/en/blog/church-square-westerkappeln-germany/', 'Trilux-CHURCH-SQUARE_small.jpg', 'Trilux CHURCH SQUARE', 'CHURCH SQUARE, WESTERKAPPELN, GERMANY', 'Project CHURCH SQUARE is located in WESTERKAPPELN, GERMANY.

(882, 'STC001', 242, 'Royal Holloway', 'University of London in Egham, UK', 'Individual and secure campus lighting\r\n\r\n\r\nRoyal Holloway is a college of the University of London in Egham, about 20 miles from the center of London. The college has three faculties, 18 academic departments and around 9,000 students from more than 100 countries. Since March 2018 the excellent academic reputation of the college has been complemented by a brilliant innovative motion-controlled outdoor campus lighting system. CITY-LIGHT PLUS LED streetlights from SITECO and TVILIGHT CitySense Plus sensors together provide greater safety, greater security and optimum energy efficiency – entirely wireless with no complex and costly data cabling between the individual lights. \r\n\r\nStudents, lecturers and college staff are often on campus at Royal Holloway until late into the evening. One of the defining features of the extensive park-like site with its lecture halls, canteen and student accommodation is its tree-lined paths. Bright and reliable outdoor lighting ensures optimum illumination of these paths and therefore the necessary levels of safety and security. Equipping the CITY-LIGHT PLUS LED luminaires from SITECO with TVILIGHT CitySense Plus motion sensors was a quick and simple way to provide an efficient demand-led lighting control solution. The motion sensors help the college reduce its energy requirements in off-peak times. A positive side-effect is that the low light levels reduce light pollution, which is beneficial for nature.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe perfect balance between energy savings and security\r\n\r\nInnovative CITY-LIGHT PLUS LED mast lights from SITECO have been installed in almost all areas of the campus. The first luminaires to be fitted with CitySense Plus sensors were the ones in the park, along the road and along the footpaths in front of the main buildings. The central TVILIGHT gateway controls up to 200 light points. TVILIGHT lighting control is set so that the LED luminaires are switched on at twilight at 10 percent light output. When movement and presence are detected the lighting is faded up to between 50 percent and 100 percent depending on the location. The two adjacent luminaires are also automatically faded up. If no new movement is detected the light output of these luminaires is returned to the predefined minimum level after a hold time of 30 seconds.\r\n\r\n\r\nOther benefits of wireless lighting control with TVILIGHT\r\n\r\nLuminaire control using data cables to be laid at the campus would have been extremely complex and costly. Wireless lighting control is therefore the ideal solution, particularly for renovating old installations. What’s more, all the luminaires are linked in a mesh network thanks to the TVILIGHT lighting control system, which means that all the light points communicate not only with the gateway but also notify their neighboring luminaires whenever they detect movement. The motion sensor can therefore immediately switch on other luminaires in the wireless network. This system architecture enables the lights to be activated much faster than is the case with other wireless systems in which communication among the light points always has to go through a gateway. The entire lighting system is configured and managed via TVILIGHT CityManager software. The motion sensors, the dimming profiles of the luminaires (e.g. dimming level and dimming duration) and the way in which individual luminaires respond to the motion sensors are all defined in the software. Users can adjust all the settings via this web application and maintain an overview on a smartphone, tablet or PC.\r\n\r\n\r\nIndustry-leading motion sensor for street lighting: CitySense Plus from TVILIGHT\r\n\r\nThe reliable CitySense Plus sensor has been developed for tough outdoor applications and for demand-led adaptive lighting. It adapts the brightness of the luminaires to the presence of pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles in a freely definable response profile, and reliably filters out interference from small animals, swaying tree branches and the like.\r\n\r\nThe LED luminaires in the CITY-LIGHT family take the form of classic lantern-shaped outdoor luminaires for street and park lighting but with a new contemporary look. The result is a modular luminaire that is easy to install, has an elegant transparent appearance and features efficient LED technology. The modular design ensures that the luminaire can be easily upgraded with subsequent LED generations. Glare-free directional light is achieved thanks to a precisely matched combination of LED arrays, 3-zone facet reflectors and a clear luminaire cover. The LED module has a symmetrical wide-beam, asymmetrical wide beam or extremely wide-beam light distribution pattern and is available in color temperatures of 3000 K (warm white) or 4000 K (neutral white).\r\n\r\n\r\nLight becomes even more intelligent: SITECO and TVILIGHT\r\n\r\nThe partnership between SITECO and TVILIGHT provides the basis for energy-saving park and street lighting with smart connected light.

The arena is located on the city’s major sports and event site Rocklunda. The arena is one of Sweden’s most modern indoor bandy arena with unique possibilities. The stadium has a capacity of 9000 spectators, and among other events a competition for selecting the Swedish contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest has been held at the arena. There are outdoor and indoor arenas for sports, leisure, fairs, exhibitions, concerts, conferences and more. The outdoor area covers 100 000 square meters. Planning the lighting for such an environment involves many challenges. Creating the lighting with SITECO LS160 LED and the control system Encelium, has improved the light level, reduced energy consumption and reduced the number of luminaires compared to the conventional T5 fluorescent luminaires that was installed in ABB Arena Syd ten years ago.\r\n\r\n\r\nLED technology instead of fluorescent lamps\r\n\r\nThe fluorescent luminaires that creates lighting for the game area in ABB Arena Syd have been replaced with new luminaires with LED technology, which is both energy efficient and reliable. The pace of the technology development in the lighting industry has increased massively since the old fluorescent luminaires that was installed ten years ago. The new luminaires are much more effective than the conventional T5 fluorescent luminaires, which means that with fewer luminaires, it is possible to reach a higher vertical and horizontal illuminance that allows TV broadcasting in the arena. The number of luminaires have been reduced from 480 luminaires to 273(!), and still it is possible to achieve 25 % higher light output.\r\n\r\n\r\nEncelium control system\r\n\r\nIn conjunction with the change of the lighting system, SITECO control system Encelium was also installed to optimize energy consumptions. “With the new control system we have now an overview of our facilities, how much energy we are saving every month and how long the luminaires have been lit. This facilitates our maintenance at the arena,” says Björn Sandvall, Technical Manager at Rocklunda Fastigheter AB, which runs the facilities at Rocklunda. A motion sensor was placed over the ice that detects when the ice is not being used and dims down the lighting and finally turns it off after a while to reduce energy consumption.\r\n\r\n\r\nSaving\r\n\r\nThe energy consumption for lighting have been reduced by over 70 %(!), in kilowatt hours the saving exceeds 600,000 kWh, which is equivalent to one year’s electricity consumption in 22 electric heated villas. The energy saving LED luminaires LS160 from SITECO is a ball impact resistant high bay luminaries that provides 25 000 lumens and is rated IP65 with a lifetime of 70 000 hours (L70/B50). \"The energy saving was an important factor in the decision for carry out the change of the luminaires, achieving a 70 % energy saving while increasing the illuminance to meet the requirements for TV broadcasting is of course positive,\" says Björn.

In this open plan work space that sits high atop Midtown Manhattan, the design embraces natural light diffused through translucent glass panels that stand as subtle reminders of the mission and vision of the company. The open plan represents a major transition from a previously enclosed office environment. The design then became the engine for exploring opportunities for greater comfort and communication in the daily business lives of the trading groups and administration. Marner Architecture was looking for luminaires with a minimal, peaceful look for clean ceilings and a natural light feeling throughout.\r\n\r\nWhen it came time to spec lighting for the ITOCHU office, the team at Kugler Ning Lighting Design knew Stream veiled ambient would be stunning in the space, but recognized that photography doesn’t fully do the product justice. It needs to be experienced. They knew it would be critical for the decision makers to see this new breakthrough in person.\r\n\r\nStream 4˝ veiled ambient chosen for its clean aesthetic. With no lens or seams, Stream’s effect is more like natural cove lighting in ITOCHU’s open office environment. The soft, wide distribution of light allowed for 14´ spacing on center instead of the typical 10´ spacing. In combination with oversized ceiling tiles, the wider spacing and seamless nature of Stream veiled ambient enhanced the “natural light” effect. This couldn’t have been achieved with traditional LED linear lighting since frosted lenses typically have very poor distribution and max/min light ratios, requiring tight spacing criteria (1.0 vs veiled ambient’s 1.35). Additionally, traditional LED linear doesn’t effectively illuminate ceilings or walls, creating a cave-like effect. In contrast, at well over 100 lumens per watt, Stream 4˝ veiled ambient can be spaced further apart for a cleaner look and more uniform light.\r\n\r\nFor Ashley Muench of Kugler Ning Lighting Design, part of the ITOCHU team, it was all about aesthetics.\r\n\r\nMax Nishikage, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, ITOCHU, works in an all-glass office perched in the midst of the company’s open plan design.

(887, 'ERC014', 62, 'Fabege AB', 'Stockholm, Sweden', 'Flexible working in Swedish Modern office locations with LED light from ERCO\r\n\r\n\r\nScandinavia is seen as a pioneer for good work culture—flat hierarchies, a strong team philosophy and family life considerations are taken for granted, and statistics repeatedly ascribe workers from the Nordic countries higher productivity with less stress. With \"work away from work\", Fabege, one of Sweden\'s largest property companies, has developed an office concept that goes far beyond the desktop edge of current office and work models. Work is spatially detached from the company office, a new idea that reveals benefits for the individual and for social coexistence. Three office locations, spread across Stockholm, were created—and equipped with ERCO Jilly downlights for track.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe principle of \"work away from work\"\r\n\r\nAnyone who has ever driven through Stockholm in the rush hour knows that its centre, as in almost any of the world\'s big cities, resembles the eye of a needle. Travelling to the office or to a business appointment becomes pure stop-and-go stress. Fabege counters this phenomenon with its concept of \"work away from work\", or WAW for short. The office comes to the employee. At three locations in Stockholm, Fabege offers its own employees and all tenants of its properties a free co-working office infrastructure.\r\n\r\nAll sites have good public transport connections and are a maximum of five kilometres from the city centre. As a consequence the car is often replaced by train or cycle—a relief for the individual, the traffic and the environment. \"We aimed to develop a concept that does justice to people as employees and in their roles as mums and dads,\" explained Klaus Hansen Vikström, Executive Vice President of Fabege. Each user can select the location that is closer to his or her home or kindergarten. With the Fabege app they can also easily book into their WAW location and reserve meeting rooms. The interior architecture and design are reminiscent of cosy cafés, combined with modern work areas. The interior, colours and flexibly adjustable light with high visual comfort create pleasant and inspiring surroundings.\r\n\r\n\r\nModern office lighting instead of a carpet of light\r\n\r\n\"A good place to work should entice and inspire the creative side of people,\" attested Joaquim de Abreu, lighting designer at the WAW locations. Being a native Swede he has always had a special relationship to light. \"I grew up with the nordic light and I\'ve seen in what unique ways light can emphasise details. Daylight forms the basis of every lighting concept. Then I add artificial light where needed,\" he explained. \r\n\r\nThe lighting concept in the WAW locations moves away from traditional design approaches in offices. \"I wanted to avoid carpets of light at all costs,\" said Joaquim de Abreu, meaning areas with identical quantities of light. \"We\'ve created a dramatic lighting setting with strong accentuation. We subdivide the room area into different zones and use light only as strongly as needed. The light adapts to the intended environment,\" he continued. This called for a flexible track infrastructure and luminaires with high visual comfort and intuitive control. In addition to ERCO spotlights and pendant luminaires, he also specified Jilly as the downlight for track. All luminaires can be controlled wirelessly via Casambi Bluetooth and a smartphone or tablet app. \"It\'s the simplest way to programme light scenes. The application is intuitive, and that makes the installation much more flexible than a normal control system,\" said the lighting designer.\r\n\r\n\r\nOne corporate lighting concept for three locations\r\n\r\nEach WAW site has its own character. WAW Arenastaden in the north of Stockholm is a loft-like office on two levels. It offers space for concentrated work and cosy discussions around a fireplace. The Inner City location is in the city centre and approximately 450 metres away from the main railway station. The lounge ambience is the ideal backdrop for a get-together, business meetings or creative brainstorming with colleagues. WAW Hammarby Sjöstadt, located in the south of Stockholm, is housed in a historic building with light in its DNA: the Luma factory manufactured incandescent lamps from the 1930s to the 1970s. People now work there below ERCO light with state of the art LED technology. This largest location offers space for single or group work as well as open lounge areas.\r\n\r\nThe \'downlights for track\' concept won over both the lighting designer and the client. Thanks to Jilly from ERCO, flexible, standard-compliant and efficient office workplace lighting was created. Viewed over the entire area, modern office lighting was created compliant to standards. Installed above long conference tables and individual workstations, the downlight scores points with high visual comfort. \"I was on the lookout for a good, attractive task light that offers ideal glare protection. Jilly brings together all the qualities that I think are important. The design is magical and the performance outstanding,\" said de Abreu. The complete room concept remains flexible. If the layout of the furniture changes, the luminaires can be repositioned to another position in the track without tools.\r\n\r\nFrom functional workplace illumination to accent lighting – the quality of light remains at the same high level. At the WAW Inner City location, innovative Parscan zoom spotlights crisply highlight small seating areas from their surroundings. The light distribution can be adjusted smoothly from spot (15°) to wide flood (65°) in an instant. \"I waited a long time for a product like this. I can create exactly the atmosphere I want,\" explained Joaquim de Abreu. With Jilly pendant luminaires from ERCO and a window in the ceiling, he celebrates the highly effective combination of daylight and artificial light in the transparently glazed conference room.\r\n\r\nQuintessence Pinhole spotlights set eye-catching accents in small telephone booths at the WAW Inner City site. \"They\'ve got a great design and generate a narrow light beam. From the outside you can hardly see the small light aperture. There\'s something magical about that,\" said de Abreu. The striking columns in the locations are vertically illuminated with Gimbal spotlights; the grazing light effectively accentuates the wood grain on the concrete surface. The ERCO LED lighting tools, all in black, are not only light sources but also design elements that blend seamlessly into the architecture.\r\n\r\nAmong other factors, the innate quality of the luminaires and the light was decisive for the cooperation with ERCO. \"In my opinion, ERCO currently has the best products on the market,\" said Joaquim de Abreu. It was also the quality that impressed the client, Klaus Hansen Vikström. \"Joaquim showed me the room situation in direct comparison: with luminaires from ERCO and from other manufacturers. The differences were striking—the atmosphere was completely different. It convinced me immediately.\"\r\n\r\n\r\nClient: Fabege AB, www.fabege.se/en\r\n\r\nInterior design: ABREU Design Studio www.abreu.se / EgnellAllard Inredningsarkitektur www.egnellallard.se / Söder Design AB\r\n\r\nElectrical planning: Stockholms Eltjänst Lundén AB www.stockholmseltjanst.se / Elbolaget LMJ AB www.elbolagetlmj.se / Lundek Elkonsult AB www.lundek.se / Elarkitektur AB www.elarkitektur.se\r\n\r\nLighting design: ABREU Design Studio AB, www.abreu.se\r\n\r\nPhotography: Gavriil Papadiotis, London\r\n\r\nWebsite: www.fabege.se/en', 'https://www.erco.com/projects/work/fabege-work-away-from-work-7045/en_us/', 'ERCO-Fabege-AB_small.jpg', 'ERCO Fabege AB', 'Fabege AB, Stockholm, Sweden', 'Project Fabege AB is located in Stockholm, Sweden.

Marco Vismara & Arch. Andrea Viganò. A completely new building of 9,000 square meters, based on the architectural project of the local firm Qalaqproeqt, has been added to the historical part of the hotel – almost 4,000 square meters – built in the Eighties and kept in its original conditions. The building, recently renewed, includes 121 rooms – 83 of them are new – and a Royal Suite, on five floors. The new Ambassadori Hotel contains also a Spa, an Italian restaurant and a Casino in the basement. The newly completed building is a fine and elegant five-star hotel, where Made in Italy has a starring role. D73 proposed an eclectic style: a classic and elegant theme with some contemporaneous points; here, the main topic is the custom made attention for the project. Specific attention has also been paid to the details, especially for the elements created by the Italian workforce who worked there and whose works was well integrated with the local artisans in a cultural dialogue between Italy and Georgia. An example of this is the wide use of wrought iron that frames the stairs and all the windows facing the central hall; wrought iron has also been used for the external façades: it is a typical Georgian element which has been combined with precious marbles, elegant textiles, important decoration, valuable wood, crystals, soft leathers. Everything has been looked after from the artisans who have made a tailor-made work for Ambassadori. Ambassadori Hotel is the most prestigious touristic place in the whole Georgian capital: this is due to the new building and also to the noteworthy location where it stands, in the heart of the old city just in front of the massive Presidential Palace, overlooking Kura river and Shavteli Street, the old central road of Tbilisi, full of restaurants and nice places.', 'http://www.patriziavolpato.it/portfolio/hotel-ambassador-tbilisi-georgia/?lang=en', 'Patrizia-Volpato-Hotel-Ambassador_small.jpg', 'Patrizia Volpato Hotel Ambassador', 'Hotel Ambassador, Tbilisi Georgia', 'Project Hotel Ambassador is located in Tbilisi Georgia.

The planimetric and volumetric layout, featuring first and foremost a modular core, rises up monolithic over the landscape, lightened by the sunshades at various angles and essential architectural lighting by Linea Light Group. \r\n\r\nThis brings out the vocation and passion of EXUP in every detail of the new building, representing the corporate mission perfectly.\r\n\r\n\r\nLIGHTNESS AND DEPTH IN ARCHITECTURAL VOLUME\r\n\r\nTo best highlight the EXUP design, Linea Light Group sets up the lighting primarily outdoors. There are two applications: on the building and on the surrounding lawn area. The selection of technical products followed the purpose of the building naturally, creating a dialogue between the structure and the surrounding environment.\r\n\r\nDescribing the façade of the building first of all, we find lighting provided by various Linea Light Group products. Spectacularly defining the large windows, Vedette is applied with the optics facing downward. A minimal-design sconce with contained volume, it creates interesting light play with a visual impact intended to highlight the geometries of the external openings. A resin body and powerLed optics make it the ideal outdoor product. Continuing on toward the entrance, we see Portik, an essential-design light fixture that bathes the entrance in even and soft lighting, thanks to the reflector with F.O.L.™ filters system. Also on the outside, we find Orma, small in size but high performance in terms of lighting output. Boasting technical features that make this uplight a unique must-have for the outdoors, its major benefits include physical resistance, a high grade of protection and outstanding light emission control, thanks to the dedicated accessories. Particularly important in giving the entrance and outdoor green area character was the use of Dirigo and Peak Maxi L. A linear element with balanced and indirect emission, Dirigo guides the visitor toward the building entrance, integrating perfectly with the surrounding environment. As a corollary element, in order to create uniform light paths coordinated with the outdoor spaces, Peak Maxi L was positioned. This lamp post provides a convenient source of light at the surrounding perimeter and the parking area, outlining the entire area around EXUP.\r\n\r\n\r\nProject: EXUP S.r.l.\r\n\r\nPhoto: F16 Studio - Giuseppe Saluzzi', 'https://www.linealight.com/en-gb/case-histories/exup/240', 'Linea-Light-EXUP_small.jpg', 'Linea Light EXUP', 'EXUP, Umbertide, Perugia, Italy', 'Project EXUP is located in Umbertide, Perugia, Italy.
