Lighting Performance & Usage Context

Architectural Heritage Lighting

Project Description

The new Architectural Lighting Project transforms the park into a nighttime journey through its history. Lighting not only guides visitors along the pathways but also reveals the different historical layers of the site, highlighting its most significant landmarks. Different colour temperatures, from 1800 K to 3000 K, represent the various historical periods, with warmer tones identifying the oldest remains and cooler tones the more recent stages. A Bluetooth control system enables tour guides to activate different lighting scenes, making historical layers appear and disappear throughout the visit. Light becomes a storytelling tool, creating an immersive experience that helps visitors understand the site’s evolution without overlapping its different historical phases.
