1075 Peachtree, Atlanta


The lights and images become part of the body of the surface they inhabit. Does the light mold itself to the architectural forms or do the structures themselves arch into the light? An organic relationship, the urban environment is subtly activated to engage both employees and passersby. Moment Factory was invited by PHA Lighting Group to create an LCD media façade to serve as a continuous visual animation for their iconic location. Integrated into the architecture, the media façade creates an impression of the building as a living organism. The technology is hidden – it is the experience that engages the public. A framework of 5000 pixel RGB LED screens was built on the building’s façade. To avoid use of a matrix, the units are laid out in a quincunx form to make an asymmetrical whole. A prismatic Lexan used for projection warps the pixels to create an impression of 3D.

City of Dreams, Macau


The City of Dreams is a mega project realised by StandardVision in Macau – China. The whole light installation ist stretching like a giant canvas over four different buildings. Adrian Velicescu of StandardVision:” It´s hard enough to distribute the data to a large screen in a building, but when you start looking at multiple towers that are 500 meters away from each other, it became apparent that we needed to combine a number of new technologies in order to pull it off.”

Digital Architecture: Passages Trough Hinterlands


by: Ruairi Glynn and Sarah Shafiei

Digital Architecture: Passages Through Hinterlands is a collection of provocative projects from a young generation of digitally enabled designers. This publication oscillates between the analog and the digital, from concept to realisation, mapping processes as it explores the diverse digital paths that lead innovative spaces, poetic narratives and social interactions. The book covers a spectrum of London’s leading graduates and young practices, featuring projects from the Architectural Association, Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), University of Westminster and Royal College of Art, and case studies and interviews with architects including Amanda Levete Architects, Plasma Studio, JDS Architects, sixteen* (makers), Horhizon, marcosandmarjan, Mette Ramsgard Thomsen, Philip Beesley, David Greene, Samantha Hardingham, Usman Haque and Neil Spiller.

Trash Mirror by Daniel Rozin

Trash Mirror – 2001
500 pieces of variously colored trash collected from the streets of New York and artist’s pockets, motors, control electronics, concealed video camera, computer. Size – W 76″ x H 76″ x D 8″ (193cm ,193cm, 20cm) Though built 3 years after the Wooden Mirror, Trash mirror was conceived first, However the concept seemed too risky at the time so I decided to build the Wooden Mirror first. This piece suggests that we are reflected in what we discard. The piece celebrates the ability of computation to inflict order on even the messiest of substances – trash.

Klimahaus 8° Ost, Bremerhaven

Angeregt durch die geografische Lage und Adresse „Am Längengrad 8°“, wurde das Scheibenraster der Fassade als Netz aus Meridianen betrachtet. An deren Kreuzungspunkten fixierte LED-Lichtpunkte sollen Assoziationen wecken; ein Netz aus Licht als Referenz zum weltumspannenden Konzept des Klimahauses. Die Lichtplaner haben sich früh dafür entschieden, die gesamte Hülle mit Licht zu bespielen und das Innere des Gebäudes am Abend auszublenden.

Die sensationelle, freie Architekturform sollte durch Licht unterstützt und am Abend als Ganzes erfahrbar gemacht werden. Darüber hinaus war es den Planern wichtig, eine ästhetisch langlebige Inszenierung umzusetzen; ein Grund warum das Licht der LED einfach weiß und nicht farbig leuchtet.
Neben dem Anspruch, die Architektur durch Licht erfahrbar zu machen, wurde zunächst der Begriff der „Medienfassade“ hinterfragt. Zu viele dieser Installationen leuchten zum Selbstzweck und nehmen selten Bezug auf das Projekt an oder in dem sie sich befinden. Darüber hinaus sollte das Objekt
relativ dezent in den abendlichen Kontext eingefügt werden.

Für das Klimahaus wurden vier Animationen gestaltet und programmiert: Eine statische Einstellung der glimmenden Lichtpunkte wurde für die allabendliche Inszenierung des Projektes eingerichtet. Diese Einstellung prägt die abendliche Identität des Klimahauses. Eingebettet in die Havenwelten erscheint es als futuristisches Objekt, das neugierig macht.

1980 LED-Punkte, bestückt mit jeweils 2 Stück kaltweißen Hochleistungs-LEDs, wurden speziell für das Projekt angefertigt und direkt hinter den Fassadenscheiben montiert. Die LEDs überziehen die gesamte Fassade und Teilbereiche der Dachfläche. Die Punkte sind über eine DMX-Steuerleitung, eine entsprechende Software undeinen Computer einzeln ansteuerbar. Der Gesamtanschlusswert der Fassadeninszenierung beträgt lediglich 2,6KW; bezogen auf eine Gesamt-Fassadenfläche von ca. 7.700 qm sind das ca. 0,33 W / qm: eine außerordentlich positive Energiebilanz für ein Projekt dieser Größenordnung. Die LED-Beleuchtung trägt, neben den Pollerleuchten auf der Umgebungsfläche, auch zur Außenbeleuchtung bei.

Green Ray, Lisabon

Designed to celebrate the thematic “Green Ray” party, organized by our client LuxFrágil with the collaboration of Patrick Goor, this light installation is simultaneously an intensely physical and artistic experience for the invited guests. Our design, using green lasers and mirrors producing totally analog visual effects, consists of two light sculptures: a green ray of light apparently perforating the building and a big outdoor light tapestry whose appearance changes according to the movement of the guests that become co-creators and yet challenged to take part of this collaborative experience.
