MERIT AWARD PROJECT: HOTEL ENCANTO, ACAPULCO, MEXICO LIGHTING DESIGN: LIGHTEAM
Hotel Encanto is demonstrative of light and architecture working together at the same time with the same tools.
“Coloured light can be overstated, too simple, or chaotic, but not in the hands of this skilled design team,” commented one judge on the Hotel Encanto design. “The daytime and nighttime experiences at this hotel are both remarkable—light and view are brought inside in a way that shows off the bold architectural geometries. Nighttime colour creates the art on the walls and serenely balances a dark sky.”
MERIT AWARD
PROJECT: MUNICIPAL THEATER OF ZAFRA, BADAJOZ, SPAIN LIGHTING DESIGN: ENRIQUE KRAHE ARQUITECTOS/ARCHITECTEN Theatres have traditionally restricted and moderated the effect of natural light in favor of sophisticated lighting controls. However, at the Theater of Zafra, natural light supple- ments electric lighting, reinforcing the playful nature of the facility and creating a calm atmosphere to ready visitors for a performance.
“The lighting is simple, playful and very theatrical in keeping with the theme,” one IALD awards judge commented.
MERIT AWARD PROJECT: NIKKEI HEAD OFFICE, TOKYO, JAPAN LIGHTING DESIGN: SIRIUS LIGHTING OFFICE The Nikkei Head Office building project in Tokyo needed to visually convey its status as one of the most important newspaper publishing companies in Japan. The building’s entrance lobby, called Space N.I.O., features a media wall floating inside the two-story atrium, inspired by paper from a rotary press.
“The lighting design craftsmanship is very skillful, down to the small details of align- ment,” commented one awards judge. “The sculptural band of illumination is dynamically beautiful and a technical challenge that appears effortless.”
MERIT AWARD
PROJECT: SCIENCE STORMS AT THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY, CHICAGO, USA LIGHTING DESIGN: FOCUS LIGHTING
The project at the Museum, which is a space for science enthusiasts of all ages to enjoy hands-on learning with interactive exhibits, asked the question: ‘Can light inspire young minds?’ Based on the designs Focus Lighting created, it’s easy to see how people, espe- cially children, can become enraptured by the physics and beauty of light. “Lighting designers became enthralled as children looking at the pictures of this project,” shared one judge. “Prisms, subtractive colour mixing, lens effects, particles or waves? We got downright dizzy imagining ourselves in this playground. The design team has master- fully applied their skills as technicians of light in this theatrical and artistic project.”
MERIT AWARD PROJECT: DEE AND CHARLES WYLY THEATRE, DALLAS, USA LIGHTING DESIGN: TILLOTSON DESIGN ASSOCIATES The Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre redefines the traditional form of a theater by vertically stacking the support spaces, allowing the performance hall to be totally enclosed by a transparent curtain wall. The raw interior spaces expose the building’s structure and the inner workings of the theatre equipment, with light fixtures supporting this aesthetic in their pure, simple forms.
“The lighting design choices make this project,” one judge praised. “Light fixtures in the lobby and stairs give it distinctive shape and flow, while unconventional lighting of the catwalks as ambient house lighting highlights an otherwise unobserved space.”
