2018 - Kuwait City, Kuwait.
The prestigious Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural is dominating the Seaside of the Kuwaiti capital and gathers its National Theater as well as the National Archives and various other functions in a compound of 4 buildings .
The building is finished and opened to the public but the lighting has not been seriously studied and incorporated to the design of this important public building. While the building fails to satnd out at night, its environment remains dark and unattractive, while the only special feature of lighting is an overly glary blue illumination of the window frames.
I have been developing a scheme transposing the specific architectural aspects of this building in the night time, revealing forms and patterns through animated illumination.
The Solution had to fit with the existing structure as well as remain inexpensive.
Actual Night View, dark, glary, unfocused.
