PROJECT / IN LUMINE TUO, UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS


to come to life, breathe, connect with each other, and communicate with the people in the city about the past and the present. After winning the commission, Speirs + Major proceeded to refine their ‘living light’ idea, addressing each individual element and looking at how the connections would work across the site. Originally the Dom Tower was connected to the west wing of the Dom Church by a small bridge, but in 1674 a tornado caused the unfinished west wing to collapse, and it was never reconstructed. The area that was cre- ated, separating the church and the tower is what is now known as the Dom Square. Keith Bradshaw and Mark Major, co-creators of the concept, explained: “A beautiful tension exists between the tower, which is viewed more as a secular being, belong- ing to everyone; while the church is the serene ecclesiastical being. We looked at the nature of each of these buildings, we reviewed their history and considered how light could make meaningful connections across the site and the wider city.” “The church is addressed with a passive, respectful design. Their own philosophy, ‘light comes from within’, is translated into a scheme where the outside faces are kept relatively dark, and the light glows through the stained glass windows and the internal faces of the buttresses, creating a lantern like effect. In fact, the name of the project alludes to the Latin saying ‘In lumine tuo videbimus lumen’ – ‘In your light we shall see the light’. The last thing we (and they) wanted was to create a lit ‘monument’. Conversely, the tower is the showpiece, the dynamic element, and the communicator. The lighting is dramatic, playing off the Gothic architecture, and is visible from many parts of the city. “


The lighting scheme relates the long history of Utrecht and forms part of a trail of permanent light installations in the historic centre. Proliad lighting using Xicato modules with Eldoled POWERdrive 562 drivers were used in the project.


The Dom Square is where the memories of the past are recalled. The gable wall where the west end of the Dom Church once stood is picked out, and a visual connection to the arch at the base of the tower is made with

Speirs+Major a développé une conception d’éclairage qui vu les principaux bâtiments d’Utrecht, le tour Dom, le Dom église et le Dom Square, comme les organismes vivants. L’idée de traiter ces bâtiments précieux comme entités


vivants, a été immédiatement attractif aux au- torités de la ville. L’affichage de l’éclairage est séquencé avec l’horloge de la tour Dom. Les trois éléments, le tour, l’église et le square com- mencent lentement à ‘respirer’ dans une unité, établissant une connection et créant une conver- sation entre les trois structures. Souvenirs ont représenté comme des éclats de lumière, appara- issent à monter la tour Dom, comme la séquence culmine juste avant de la frappe de l’heure avec un final dramatique, comme plusieurs des éclats de lumière sont libérées par le bruit de carillons. Avec une palette restreinte, de presque entière- ment LED fondant composants et un contrôle programme bien-peaufiné, le projet est énergie efficient et entretien amical, tout en étant re- haussant à regarder.
