Award for The Point


BDP won the Lighting for Leisure category at this year’s Lighting Design Awards for its installation at The Point, the 1,000 seat events venue at Lancashire County Cricket Club. The judges said the project was not


only beautifully detailed and realised, but offered the client a flexible facility that will generate revenue in the future. BDP provided exterior lighting to the


façade, concourse area and stand, as well as internal lighting to the front of house areas including entrance, event space, bars, circulation areas and facilities.


The lighting showcases the bold and


strong graphic identity for the new events venue, and the re-born cricket ground as a whole. The architectural design of the scheme shifts the events space from a typical cocoon within the bowels of the stadium and floats it dramatically over the new spectator seating, creating shelter, unimpeded spatial flexibility and views over the Old Trafford pitch.

AS PART of a £1.3m refurbishment project, APM Design was given a brief to illuminate the St Ann’s House Manchester lift lobby with distinctive contemporary fittings. Bump pendants from Chelsom were specified featuring clear individual glass lenses bonded into laser cut metalwork which is finished in polished chrome. Each pendant is fitted with eight 42W


halogen lamps to create the maximum level of sparkle through the clear polished glass domes. Removable chrome mesh top


diffusers cover the body of the fitting to prevent the ingress of dust and insects and the strainer wires are adjustable during installation to accommodate individual drop requirements. Engineers KJ Tait were responsible for the lighting installation which brings a touch of glamour to the project, which overlooks St Ann’s Square in Manchester city centre.

THE Institution of Lighting Professionals has joined forces with the Association of Chief Police Officers Secured by Design to produce a new publication called Lighting Against Crime, aimed at crime reduction professionals. Secured by Design is a police initiative


to encourage the building industry to adopt crime prevention measures in the design of developments to assist in reducing the opportunity for crime and the fear of crime, creating a safer and more secure environment. Owned by the Association of Chief Police Officers, it has the support of the Home Office Crime Reduction and Community Safety Group and the Department for Communities and Local Government. The new publication, targeted at

architects, builders, planners and police officers, aims to provide readers with a basic understanding of external lighting systems and the recommended levels of


illumination used to combat crime, the fear of crime and antisocial behaviour. The free download will equip the intended audience with the knowledge and understanding of the importance of light with reference to reducing crime. The document, written by Peter Kane, crime prevention design advisor for the Metropolitan Police, touches upon topics such as good lighting, lighting distribution, colour of light, light pollution and energy efficiency; enabling those who are using light to make the public safer gain an understanding of measures to reduce criminal opportunities. He says:“Targeted lighting improvements


have been proven to reduce crime and the fear of crime and if design partners can discuss lighting values using a common language, they will find it easier to provide a higher quality of night time environment.”
