Top left LEC Lyon Bordeaux fixtures create a constellation of light on the terrace deck of the J4 building. Above left A series of ramps between the UHPFC skin and museum wall provides mounting for the artistic lighting. Lighting for the ramps is concealed within the underside of the ramp above. Above right The skin covers the south and west sides of the building and forms an overhang above the north and east façades.
architect stipulated that no fixtures be visi- ble during daylight hours, so each piece was customised with location-specific brackets and precisely calculated optics to direct light exactly as it was needed to create an accurate visual result.
The wide lens and anodised, waterproof construction of the Le Havre allowed it to be placed externally between the glass outer wall of the museum and the UHPFC façade. AIK had previously used the fixture for The Wave, their illumination of the sea wall that protects the city of Le Havre. As Technical Manager at Atelier AIK, Fabienne Maman explains this past experience was key in their selection for Marseille. “We came onto this project very late through the 1% Artistique procedure and the works on site had already started,” he says. “Although Rudy Ricciotti was very attentive and responsive to our needs, we had some catching up with delivering the work on time. Failure was just not an option. We preferred to take no risks at all and there- fore decided to work with LEC.” A pedestrian walkway runs between the glass wall and UHPFC façade, providing ac- cess to the museum’s roof terrace and from there the ‘floating’ footbridge that links with Fort St Jean. These ramps provided
a mounting point for the two-colour blue/ green Le Havre spotlights.
There is no outer skin on the north and east facades, but the UHPFC meshwork is present as an overhanging section of roof, jutting out at the top of the building. These are also illuminated by Le Havre fixtures. To complete the scheme, the decking of J4’s roof terrace is inset with a constel- lation of blue stars, inground Bordeaux fixtures, again from LEC Lyon. French lighting design practice 8’18” was tasked with ensuring the artistic lighting was successfully adapted and integrated with any functional exterior and interior lighting. This included providing pedestrian lighting for the ramps up to the roof. Under regulations, these are classed as external walkways and as such must meet a require- ment of 20 lux. In order to achieve this without disrupting Kersalé’s scheme, lumi- naires were installed into the underside of the ramp directly above, or into the UHPFC roof structure in the case of the top ramp. Working with the manufacturer, they devel- oped a special louver system to minimise spill and glare when viewed at a distance from both inside and outside the museum. 8’18” was involved on the MuCEM project from its early development stages in 2003,
