Underlining selected architectural elements of base, body and crown is the fundamental premise of the exterior lighting design. At the base of the building, long, organic lines running in the underside of the projecting 2nd floor are turned into a distinctive feature light element. In fact, these lines and their profiles have become a local visual reference and also part of the logo of this project. The façade of the 2nd floor consists of a series of windows. As a subtle element, only the windowsills are accentuated.

The one-story precast concrete façade elements of the upper floors are emphasized by mini uplights. These follow the rhythm of the architectural design and underline the dynamic nature of all 3 facades. Lastly, the crown is softly illuminated from below.

The initial harbour facilities of Shanghai were located in the area of the new south bund at the Huang Pu River, the southern extension of the world-famous “Bund“. The concept of the “wave promenade“ incorporates the historically-developed linking routes between Shanghai‘s old town and the historic harbour. Like a wave, the promenade undulates along a more than two-kilometre long stretch of river, punctuated by differently-designed green islands, as well as terraced gardens—a place of peace and contemplation.

The centre of the wave promenade is formed by the Dongjiadu crossroads hub with its spacious square and its amphitheatre-like stepped seating facility. In the darkness, the stairway facility has reserved lighting with LED lights in the undercut of the seating steps. Glare is minimized in order to allow as many open viewing perspectives as possible and to spectacularly highlight the wave promenade by night.

The new Olympic Sports Centre in Suzhou comprises three stadiums and a commercial tower on a 421,040 m² plot size. The landmark-like buildings are connected by a rich landscape. Light is a key element to the success of the iconic appearance of the complex.
The architecture is carefully lit, allowing the stadiums to visually standout on top of the terraced landscape podiums. Light engages with the architectural design of the unifying roof shapes and smooth lamella facades. It underlines the dynamic of the stadiums while the connecting landscape forms the visually dimmed and more varying foundation of the composition.
