Architects designed an absorbing exhibit experience under the theme “intelligence for life” to raise awareness of sustainable living and business practices.
All interior and audiovisual supports created a highly complex and suggesting technological space, full of meaning, in which lighting design was key.
Integrating and designing the installation of lighting into a state-of-the-art architectural solution was an exciting prospect, as was achieving balanced visual effects to suit the exhibition space. This is a prime example of how lighting design complements great architectural challenges.
