GUANGZHOU INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CENTER

Guangzhou, China 
Artificial Lighting

Architect: Wilkinson Eyre Architects
Completion year: 2010
Images: Jonathan Leijonhufvud

The IFC Guangzhou with a height of 487 m ranks amongst the highest buildings on earth. A solution for the presentation of the façade was developed with which you can see the characteristic, diagonal structure of the framework behind the glass façade even at night. Because the tower is mainly used for office and hospitality, the lighting needed to be easy to maintain from the outside and must not shine into the interior. The solution are integrated façade elements with LED that can illuminate the building dynamically and colourful. The standard setting though is monochrome and static light scenes to underline the architecture of the building.

BERTHOLD FURTMEYR EXHIBITION

Regensburg, Germany 
Artificial Lighting & Lighting Controls

Architect: Tillmann Wagner Architekten
Completion year: 2010

Miniaturist Berthold Furtmeyr’s main work in the context of book illustration was presented for the first time from November 2010 to February 2011 at the “Historisches Nationalmuseum” in Regensburg, Germany. The main concept of the exhibition design was to integrate the complementary nature of image and text in book painting within the exhibition space. Accentuation of the pieces of art while supporting the architectural design in an unobtrusive way has been a particular challenge in this low budget project.

The House of the World’s Cultures is a conference and event centre from the 1950‘s. The aim was to bring out the best of the unique architecture and the materials used by an integrated lighting. The landscape was considered in the concept by a subtle accent and water feature lighting. Despite the use of modern technologies, the energy use of the old solution could be reduced by more than 65%.
