Definition: Office building
Location: Dubai, UAE
Architect: Foster+Partners
.
My task: as a part of a project team I was involved in the graphic representation, lighting calculations and cost.
.
Description: the challenge of this project is the use of Green Building Rating System norms (LEED) in the lighting design proposal therefore accurate calculations and a particular selection of luminaires were necessary.
Due to the height of the sky scrapers in Dubai, the lighting concept is to give a taller appearance to the building through light.
.
2 beamers pointing to the sky make the building visible and easier to recognize in the skyline of Dubai. The 3-dimensional appearance of the building is enhanced as well accentuating the architectural features and the shape of the building itself.
