McLaren Centre
PROJECT NAME: McLaren Technology Centre CLIENT: McLaren LOCATION: McLaren Technology Centre. Woking, Surrey, UK LIGHTING DESIGNER: Claude Engle PROJECT: Foster and Partners The depth and width of Targetti’s product programs were decisive factors in the decision to make it the project partner and sole supplier for the McLaren Technology Centre, “a reference model for XXI Century industrial architecture” according to Lord Norman Foster. Moreover Targetti, strictly working with McLaren, Foster and Partners and Claude Engle, undertook in-depth studies in the field of vision science and research on the interaction between natural and artificial light to develop technologically extreme solutions able to provide the ideal working environment. “The lighting system that Targetti has produced for the McLaren project is just about as good as a system can get”, Claude Engle said. “Targetti has worked hard to push the boundaries of technology to provide a range of beautiful, detailed and wholly functional lighting solutions that contribute to the architectural elegance of the building”, Ron Dennis, McLaren Group Chairman and CEO added.

Doha Airport
PROJECT NAME: Doha Airport LOCATION: Doha, Qatar LIGHTING DESIGNER: Paul Helms PROJECT: HOK The new Doha International Airport (DIA) is scheduled to open in 2010. Design and construction activities began in 2004 when Targetti was involved as a privileged partner for the lighting. It is a project of almost unimaginable dimensions - at opening day, the over 350,000 square metre passenger terminal facility will be the largest building in Doha, covering an area equivalent to 50 full size football pitches. Lighting designer Paul Helms of PHA Lighting Design turned to Targetti as the ideal partner for both developing and supplying the needed lighting fixtures and managing the complexity of the needs and problems that such a huge project would certainly bring with it, from the concept phase to the completion of the facility and beyond. Over 250 new lighting fixtures have been developed till now, for over 3000 hours of engineering work. The number of products Targetti will supply in the first phase of the project amount to 25,000.

CUSTOM
SOLUTIONS Starting from existent products new fixtures and even families of products can be developed to solve Mondial Projector for metal halide lamp
specific design requirements. The substitution of a component, the change of the colour of a fixture, a seemingly modest adaptation satisfying structural and/or aesthetic needs… are all “details” able
+/- 90°
to make the difference.

PROJECT NAME: Mondial Show CLIENT: Municipality of Volterra LOCATION: Palazzo dei Priori, Volterra, Italy LIGHTING DESIGNER: Antonella Militello PROJECT: Antonella Militello for Lattanzi S.r.l., Roma A paradigm of versatility of applications, that also guarantees visual comfort in every setting. This is Mondial Show, that Targetti developed for the specific expositive requirements of Palazzo dei Priori in Volterra, Italy. Mondial Show is a floor lamp combining an extractible and directional Mondial projector for metal halide lamps and four extractible and directional Mondial 50 for halogen aluminized or dichroic lamps. Mondial Show was specially produced with reactor and electronic transformer as well as a refined finishing colour of a suitable level for project needs. Furthermore, foreseeing the potential public interest, a base, ballasted to give greater product safety and security has been provided.

With interplay between colour and transparency, fashionable design and precision adjustable lighting, Etna was created for illuminating the large areas of Riccione Service Center. This suspension, in ice, blue and amber polycarbonate, contains three adjustable ARC projectors for discharge and AR111 halogen lamps. The precision optics offer high performance illumination design solutions, making it possible to obtain a multitude of lighting dĂŠcor effects. In the centre is a recessed CCT with electronic fluorescent lamp to be used as a night, emergency or pre-switching light while waiting for the discharge lamps to become fully operational.
Dark Up
PROJECT NAME: Dark Up CLIENT: Uffizi Gallery LOCATION: Florence, Italy LIGHTING DESIGNER: Piero Castiglioni and Massimo Iarussi PROJECT: Studio Castiglioni The criteria behind the new system proposed for lighting the artworks in the Uffizi Gallery are based on the effects of reflection of the vault which, as a result of the composition of the beams, is invested with a directional flux produced by the fixtures installed at the height of the cornice. A small lighting fixture was thus designed to be installed on the profile on which the paintings hang. Dark Up differs from normal indirect lighting appliances because it eliminates the pronounced overexposure of the upper portion of the cornice, thanks to the use of light sources with an integrated dichroic type reflector arranged in a continuous flow. This solution offers two main advantages from a visual perspective: the greater uniformity of the luminance between the wall, vaulted ceiling and floor; the removal of any reflection on the paintings’ surface from the visual field of the observer.

Foho
PROJECT NAME: Windsor Factory Shop CLIENT: Windsor Factory LOCATION: Metzingen, Germany Lighting Designer: Raiser Lopes Project: Raiser Lopes The architects in charge of the shop’s interior design were commissioned to design something unique and capable of underlining the exclusiveness of the brand. They responded by presenting furnishings for gentlemen’s fashion primarily in black, while the ambience for ladies’ fashions was designed in white for contrast. The use of Foho projectors painted in black and white faithfully follows this stylistic solution, aimed at creating a compound made of homogeneous elements where the only object playing the role of an eye-catcher comes in the form of a seemingly hovering cash desk.

Stainless Steel bracket
PROJECT NAME: Foho Omero CLIENT: SACMI LOCATION: SACMI Headquarters, Imola (Bologna), Italy LIGHTING DESIGNER: STP - Studio di Architettura Piancastelli PROJECT: STP - Studio di Architettura Piancastelli
80°
The idea behind Omero is to increase the versatility of the direct and indirect light Foho Pro, in order to offer a variety of directional options with wall and ceiling installation. The steel mechanical arm combines the natural with the artificial to control the various movements - raising, moving nearer, rotating, directing, positioning… - drawing inspiration from the human arm, from a circular concept of rotation, from a need for simplicity (the Latin word “mero” means “simple”). The arm has a U-shaped profile to allow for the further instalment of other halogen projectors from the Foho family.

Gimble
PROJECT NAME: Gimble CLIENT: McLaren LOCATION: McLaren Technology Centre. Woking, Surrey, UK LIGHTING DESIGNER: Claude Engle PROJECT: Foster and Partners The Gimble projectors created for the McLaren Technology Centre were designed for wall and ceiling mounting inside the Centre’s skylights, providing accent lighting for objects and work surfaces. This system is capable of realizing additional direct illumination, integrating natural and artificial light. The horizontal structure of the fixture, which recalls the shape of a F1 chassis, has been conceived in order to permit installation within the opening in ceiling vaults. It houses two adjustable projectors with gyroscopic movement, fitted with discharge lamps that offer a brilliant light with excellent colour rendering.

Stainless Steel Mounting Plate
PROJECT NAME: Dunkerque CLIENT: City of Dunkerque LOCATION: Dunkerque, France LIGHTING DESIGNER: Emmanuel Clair for Light Cibles The lighting design for Place du Casino, facing the Kursaal, in Malo-les-Bains was realized by Emmanuel Clair, winner of the contest the City of Dunkerque launched in 2003. The decision was to accompany pedestrians with 47 luminous columns designed in collaboration with Targetti just for this application. Each column, that becomes slowly brighter as the day fades, is composed of a module of Icare Compact with 5째 light beam angle, and a tube made of opaline polycarbonate with satin finish. Instead of inundating the square with light, this solution allowed to create a playful atmosphere, without shadows or contrasts.

Garonne
Stainless steel
Polycarbonate cylinder
PROJECT NAME: Garonne CLIENT: City of Toulouse LOCATION: Garonne River, Toulouse, France LIGHTING DESIGNER: Roger Narboni for Concepto The evocative project of a line of light connecting the two banks of Garonne river was realized thanks to special lighting equipment developed by Roger Narboni working jointly with Targetti. The 247-metre track of light is created by a discontinuous row of 265 identical lights 80 cm long, set into a concrete construction built on site to follow the line of the existing causeway. Given the requirements for low voltage electricity passing through an underwater construction, LED technology was the obvious choice but in this instance the diodes were used to produce high-output optical conduction, a system that is particularly unusual and innovative. Each device includes a translucent bar with lateral emission and an aluminium reflector. It is lit at the ends by two 1W cyan LEDs that produce very intense light. The LEDs are long-lasting, with a life of more than 50,000 hours. The transformers are 200 metres away. If any faults or breakdowns occur at a later date, the disposable lighting equipment can be removed and replaced with identical equipment without any need for further work on the concrete construction.

Bilbao
PROJECT NAME: Metro de Bilbao CLIENT: City of Bilbao LOCATION: Bilbao, Spain LIGHTING DESIGNER: Norman Foster PROJECT: Foster and Partners, in collaboration with Susaeta ProLighting The creativity of Norman Foster is the driving force behind the project for the two new stations of the second Bilbao Metro line. Foster’s idea was to create a continuous line extending from Metro entrance, where natural light filters through a shell-shaped glass dome, all the way to the tracks, where the citizens waiting for the train can witness a true “explosion” of light. Along the corridors several suspended fixtures in the shape of flattened cylinders with grooved polycarbonate screens provide direct illumination and are equipped with emergency systems. In the station there are two distinct areas, each characterized by different illumination: the transit zone, where the fixtures for direct and indirect lighting always work at 100% capacity, and the platform area, where an automatic dimmer system boosts light emission to 100% when a train is in transit and dims it back to 50% where there is no train on the tracks.

PROJECT NAME: Multi Store CLIENT: Guess LOCATION: Florence, Italy LIGHTING DESIGNER: Daniel Bernard Project: NO STOP Studio
Halogen lamps
In order to satisfy the requirements of the designer who wanted a minimum impact flexible system for both indirect and direct lighting, Targetti developed Multi Store, based on the idea of a track provided with adjustable compact spots. Multi Store is a series of suspended modules that can be installed singularly or assembled into a system, by means of two special accessories for straight and 90째 junctions. The body of modules is in extruded anodized aluminium and plate in transparent metacrylate with serigraphy.

PROJECT NAME: Esplanade CLIENT: Ministry of Information, Communications & The Arts LOCATION: Singapore LIGHTING DESIGNER: Louis Clair for Light Cibles PROJECT: DP Architects / Michael Wilford and Partners DIA is the most original range of projectors for urban, architectural and residential landscaping featuring compact fluorescent, halogen and Led lamps. DIA Led Singapore is a special version of DIA Led that Targetti developed for the dome of the Esplanade in Singapore in close collaboration with the lighting designer Louis Clair. The challenge was to realize a projector that, besides having the characteristics of high luminosity and resistance to extreme weather conditions as the standard product, could be oriented in order to see light from all angles in the same way.

MULTIFUNCTION
SOLUTIONS Targetti’s range of competences includes the ability to develop products that integrate lighting
Light fluorescent lamp
Asymmetric reflector
together with different specific functions as, for instance, air conditioning systems or video surveillance systems. Sophisticated lighting control technologies and systems providing a perfect integration between natural and artificial light are expressions of this ability as well.
Air conditioning
Airlight
PROJECT NAME: Airlight CLIENT: Tetrapak Carton Ambient LOCATION: Modena, Italy LIGHTING DESIGNER: Stefano Trombini PROJECT: Studio Trombini S.r.l. A suspended ceiling is like a skin behind which installations are hidden and has both an aesthetic and technical function. After carefully evaluating the untidy appearance of the suspended ceilings currently found in offices, shops and homes, the designer decided to free them from all these functions and to combine everything together in order to form a single continuous opening/system/luminaire. The idea was to establish a dialogue between the architectural and air conditioning/ electrical system plans, in order to have a single, effective solution. An integrated multifunctional system was thus created, combining air conditioning and lighting in a single appliance. Its name is Airlight and it is a lighting fixture with inlets and outlets for the delivery and recovery of conditioned air, electrically supplied tracks to house spotlight, communication areas, areas for positioning loudspeakers, and rollers for blackout curtains.

PROJECT NAME: Paragon CLIENT: McLaren LOCATION: McLaren Technology Centre. Woking, Surrey, UK LIGHTING DESIGNER: Claude Engle PROJECT: Foster and Partners Paragon is the unique solution that Targetti developed for the McLaren Technology Centre strictly working with McLaren, Foster and Partners and the American lighting designer Claude Engle. The goal was to obtain a perfect integration between natural and artificial light to provide the ideal working environment. Ultra low brightness lighting with an indirect diffuse component permitted to win this challenge. To allow natural light to bath this extraordinary building - including the ground floor - daylight comes in through the ceiling and the first floor apertures “streets” that are about six metres wide. It reaches all the way down where it is mixed with artificial light from special, double emission, fluorescent suspensions that run along lengths of 10 metres - without any visible breaks - in the production facilities adjacent to the “streets”.

MAKlite
Fluorescent RGB lamps
Asymmetric reflector PROJECT NAME: MAKlite CLIENT: Mak Museum LOCATION: Mak Museum. Wien, Austria LIGHTING DESIGNER: James Turrell MAKlite, a permanent installation by the American artist James Turrell, gives the Mak Museum a new dimension of visibility. The extraordinary technology for the project was developed and produced by Targetti in cooperation with the Department of Electronics, School of Engineering of the University of Florence. It is an innovative system of fluorescent fixtures using colour changing RGB technology. Thanks to a sophisticated operating program that controls a potentially unlimited number of devices without the need for any electrical connection, the system varies the intensity and dominant colour of the light. Designed to be recessed within the spaces between windows of the building on the Ringstrasse, MAKlite has been provided with a software that allows the coordination of 114 lighting elements.

Heron
PROJECT NAME: Heron PROJECT: Studio Lepreti The design of Heron is original and new, its shape goes beyond the traditional lamp-post structure: a single dynamic and sinuous, almost natural line connects lamp-post and light fixture without interruptions. Heron has been planned by Studio Lepreti, which won with this project the first prize of Neri Award, an international competition for urban décor designers. Video camera application with “secure light” technology inside the Heron fixture is a great added value, providing the first real integration between lighting fixture, video-surveillance and safety. An open and easy software, “secure light” system enables a wide variety of data recording, safely connected, through a local or wide area network, in real-time or delayed, acting from a remote location.

Artificial Sky
PROJECT NAME: Artificial Sky LOCATION: Environment Park, Turin, italy PROJECT: Turin Polytechnic The heart of the Environment Park, a photometric and technical lighting laboratory realized by the Faculty of Architecture at Turin Polytechnic, is its Artificial Sky, an enormous physical model of the heavens for the simulation of natural light. Polytechnic turned to Targetti’s Research and Development Department, certain it would find experts ready to take on new challenges and increasingly complex lighting problems. A “vault segment” artificial sky has been created consisting of a sun simulator fitted with 25 circular-shaped appliances containing artificial light sources and arranged, starting from the centre of the hemisphere, according to the angular coordinates established by the discretion model of the heavens. The system is completed by a structure for supporting and moving the model, a control unit, a photometric data acquisition system and a laboratory for creating the models. The completion of this complex lighting system also required solutions to various technical problems, including the need for particular photometric behaviour and a considerable lamp flux, the large size of the individual appliance (700 mm diameter), thermal problems and the necessary precise mechanical fastening.
27
Sky Light Simulator
PROJECT NAME: Sky Light Simulator LOCATION: Turin’s Caselle Airport, Italy PROJECT: Alenia Aeronautica The Sky Light Simulator is an instrument that reproduces in-flight natural light conditions on the ground for testing aircraft lighting systems. It consists of a huge metal dome large enough to contain the nose and cockpit of a mid-size plane. From a remote control station, a test technician can adjust the luminance of each of the 79 luminous panels that cover the internal face of the hemisphere and which, together with another 112 reflecting panels, make up the sky. But a sky is not a sky without a sun, and the worthy interpreter of this crucial role is a 12 kW projector that can generate up to 150,000 lux in the center of the hemisphere. Assembled on a mechanical arm, the “sun” can be positioned anywhere with respect to the cockpit and thus reproduces all worst-case natural light scenarios. Clouds are actually a greater threat than sunlight to the legibility of the symbols on head-up displays, but the Sky Light Simulator can check this too, thanks to a panel set frontally with respect to the pilot that reflects light from two projectors to reproduce the annoying sky light conditions created by a dense cloud layer.

Cenacolo
PROJECT NAME: Cenacolo [Last Supper, by Leonardo da Vinci] CLIENT: Soprintendenza dei Beni Artistici di Milano, Ministero Italiano dei Beni Culturali LOCATION: Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan, Italy PROJECT: Istituto Elettrotecnico Nazionale Galileo Ferraris, Turin, Italy Targetti has been asked to design a luminaire capable of optimizing the results of the complex restoration that involved one of the most loved works of art in the entire world - the Last Supper. What immediately transpired was that the last stages of the restoration had been carried out under the conditions of daylight as available in the XVI century. The simulation was obtained with a model of a luminaire made up of fluorescent tubes which is not available today. Therefore, a new system has been developed compatible with the lighting used during the stages of restoration that would have had a particularly high level of colour rendering. On the basis of the above, 30 luminaires equipped with 36W fluorescent tubes were chosen. Targetti succeeded in realizing three different prototypes of luminaires able to exalt the chromatic values of the masterpiece by Leonardo with a light that would not “warm� the surrounding. Another goal fully reached was that of having been able to hide, as much as possible, the light sources from the public eye. The luminaires were installed on the inside of two low base frames and these acted as banisters to hold back the visitors. The goal was to provide specific lighting characterized by a strong gradient of luminous intensity with a concentration of light limited only to the paintings on the walls.
