TECHNOLOGY / LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL, LAS VEGAS, USA
MERIT AWARD PROJECT: CHANDLER CITY HALL EXTERIOR, CHANDLER, AZ USA LIGHTING DESIGN: SMITHGROUP Drawing on the dichotomy of Chandler’s ranching history and high tech future, lighting sought to establish the building’s nighttime presence, encourage public interaction with the building and inner courtyard, and convey the city’s “transparent” message. “‘Trans- parency’ exemplified,” one judge stated. “Civic illumination raises the human spirit and conviction that democracy works.”
MERIT AWARD
PROJECT: HARROW SCHOOL CHAPEL, HARROW, UK LIGHTING DESIGN: DPA LIGHTING DESIGN
The clients initially declined use of original chandeliers in any new design based on how poorly the existing ones performed, and to prevent any visual intrusion the chandeliers might provide to the interior. However, it became apparent that multi-task chandeliers would form the best basis for the new scheme. “Lighting creates a harmonious overall composition, highlighting the key features of the chapel,” one judge said of the project. “The flexibility of the lighting system allows for changes of mood and character. Simply beautiful.”
MERIT AWARD PROJECT: HATOYA 3 BLDG, TOKYO, JAPAN LIGHTING DESIGN: FORLIGHTS
The delicate white steel fin irregularly divides the façade with glass, creating lit areas and a bustling atmosphere for the station near this building. The designers attempted to produce a lively but elegant environment by using colorful signage and introducing sections of ivy-covered wall to introduce a sense of calm in the busy city. The building was envisioned as a lantern, shedding a continuous genteel light on its surroundings. “The lighting solution forms an integral part of the façade and creates a subtle effect without overdramatising the simple structure,” one judge praised.
MERIT AWARD PROJECT: MARTIN LUTHER KING JR MEMORIAL, WASHINGTON, DC USA
LIGHTING DESIGN: DAVID MINTZ, FIALD, AND RANDY BURKETT LIGHTING DESIGN The memorial consists of four major elements – forecourt, Mountain of Despair, inscription wall and Stone of Hope. The lighting design articulates these elements, while the balance of the site relies on interreflected light for visitor circulation and ambiance.
“The skillful placement and specification of light fixtures creates a dramatic but realistic por- trait,” one judge commented of the memorial.
MERIT AWARD PROJECT: ST REGIS OSAKA, OSAKA, JAPAN LIGHTING DESIGN: LIGHTING PLANNERS ASSOCIATES The architectural and interior design concept of St. Regis Osaka comes from the beauty blos- somed during the Azuchi-Momoyama Period just before the Edo Period in Japan. The zen form of thought ‘Wabi Sabi’ or the serene sense of Japanese beauty, is combined with a little glamour to complete the design concept. Fittingly, the lighting design is based on the keywords of ‘seren- ity + shadows + hospitality’. “Masterfully illuminated throughout, the lighting emphasises the important while creating pleasant ambient illumination,” one judge commented.
MERIT AWARD
PROJECT: YOTEL NEW YORK, NY USA LIGHTING DESIGN: FOCUS LIGHTING

“Lighting is in sync with the design concept behind the Yotel and becomes a visual expres- sion of the brand,” one judge stated.
