light settings change from daylight through to evening. Actual lighting conditions influ- ence the system in real-time via the light sensors installed around the pavilion. A blue sky, for example, produces a different set- ting than a cloudy day, so no matter what the weather the lighting is always perfectly adjusted to the surroundings. Key personnel are able to control individual settings for events outside normal operat- ing hours, test runs, fixture cleaning and other proactive maintenance. The lighting system is even employed outside opening hours as the pavilion’s cleaning personnel use it when they go about their work. For monitoring and immediate on-line support, the lighting system can be accessed from Martin’s headquarter office in Denmark through a secure network.
The use of LED technology – with its energy efficient credentials – was part of BIGs mission to prove that sustainable, environ- mentally conscience living need not be a
hardship.
“Sustainability is often misunderstood as the neo-protestant notion that ‘it has to hurt in order to do good’,” says BIG founder, Bjarke Ingels. “‘You’re not supposed to take long warm showers - because wasting all that water is not good for the environment’ or ‘you’re not supposed to fly on holidays - because air traffic is bad for the environ- ment’. Gradually we all get the feeling that sustainable life simply is less fun than normal life. If sustainable designs are to become competitive it cannot be for purely moral or political reasons - they have to be more attractive and desirable than the non-sustainable alternative. With the Danish Pavilion we have attempted to consolidate a handful of real experiences of how a sustainable city - such as Copenhagen - can in fact increase the quality of life.”
