RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Site administration was an important step in the realization of the entire project. The lighting fixtures recommended to the customer included detailed information such as beam angles, wattage and color temperature, installation details...
CHALLENGE: A multilateral communication was necessary to ensure that the lighting design would match the new contemporary Chinese architectural design.
Indeed, the original architectural design would have exposed the lighting fixtures. After discussing with the architect, the roof design was altered as to hide the lighting fixture and at the same time highlight the details of the newly created cove.
