Lighting designer's notes by Colin Ball, associate lighting designer, BDP

摘要

Erect Architecture's proposal seeks to recreate an image of London that has been lost over the past few decades of 'over-engineering' our night-time environment. This is a fairly recent phenomenon - don't forget the Greenwich Observatory was still in operation until 1957. Our proposal is to use readily available, addressable LED screen technologies from stage shows that can treat each 'oil lamp' as an individual pixel. This system can be suspended from an elegant catenary cable system with slim matt black columns positioned within the tree groups. All junction boxes, cabling and connections can then be hidden within the column infrastructure.
