Nantong Window

Nantong Window is an architectural lighting design for a cultural complex with a library, a cultural centre and archives. The lighting follows the building concept of birds and sea. Linear luminaires are placed inside the folded perforated aluminium curtain wall, so the light passes through the feather-like openings.

Luminaire positions and angles are calculated so that no lamp surface is visible from inside or outside. A DMX512 control system allows dynamic change of the facade.
