Inspired by the concept of ‘the cornerstone,’ the Huanggang Port is a symmetrical architectural form that sits on an elevated landscaped base, embodying the literal definition and heralding the new port’s potential as the foundation of the greater bay area. The infrastructure lighting design complements this concept by emphasizing functionality and aesthetics, creating a safe and efficient environment for users.

The port’s interior design is inspired by Shenzhen’s emblem flower, the Bougainvillea. The elegant and intricate curves and detailing from the flower are adapted to create a distinctive interior roof motif that bolsters the vibrant Shenzhen spirit. The lighting design focuses on a bright and welcoming environment while creating daylight autonomy. Artificial lighting blends into the daylight design and focuses on architectural integration into the aesthetics of the flower concept while visually enhancing it further, ensuring a seamless approach to infrastructure lighting design throughout the space.

Ongoing

The renovation and extension of the “Pergamonmuseum” (PMU) is the final step in the completion of the Museum Island Berlin as a globally unique ensemble.
As a daylight museum, the PMU has an exceptional position in this context. The renovation occurs cautiously under full retention of the concept of Wiegand; according to strict historic preservation requirements and to high conservation demands in certain areas.
In these areas in particular, the lighting design takes into account the museum’s requirement to flexibly illuminate permanent and temporary exhibitions with adaptable spotlights. The large-scale use of LEDs is being intensively examined in the lighting design for the museum.
