One of the things in architecture is that, generally, people are making forms and not spaces. People make space by making forms and then stick the lights in. It is rarely done in the way that light activates the space and makes it alive.

It is necessary to return to the point where the interplay of light and dark reveals forms, and in this way bring richness back into architectural space.

Yet the richness and depth of darkness has disappeared from our consciousness, and the subtle nuances that light and darkness engender, their spatial resonance - these are almost forgotten.

Today, when all is cast in

homogenous light, I am committed to pursuing the interrelationship of light and darkness. Light, whose beauty within darkness is as of jewels that one might cup in one's hands; light that, hollowing out darkness and piercing our bodies, blows life into place.

I gave myself an assignment: to draw a picture that demonstrates light. You say that the white piece of paper is the illustration; what else is there to do? But when I put a stroke of ink on the paper, I realized that the black was where the light was not, and then I could really make a drawing, because I could be discerning as to where the light was not, which was where I put the black. Then the picture became absolutely luminous.

Light and space are mutually dependent- one cannot exist without another. Light in a space is easily understood when seen as the colloquial paint brush, revealing and hiding elements in a space for comfort, productivity, safety, and an appropriate ambiance. In that way, lighting can be appropriately referred to as the art of revealment and concealment.� {

Given the urban nature of this project, it was critical to understand its context, and assimilate the local dynamics of usage patterns, circulation, and nighttime activities. In working with the architects, we decided to pursue an unconventional approach to this project, since the genre of such projects is usually We decided to make light levels our last check, and work on composing the elements of this project into a wholesome, evocative, and exciting night-time space that engenders and enables the community to link with each other. The results have been gratifying.

The lighting solution to this environment- combining highlighting the architectural massing with strong geometric lighting moves has elicited a very positive response from the community.

The lighting concept allows communities the ability to participate and learn about the importance of environmental quality and human impact on the space. We know that badly designed lighting can lead to glare and dark shadows that might promote rather than hinder criminal activity, and so we carefully fabricated our design for glare-free and subtle lighting. Transition places were well lit to increase a sense of safety and security in the community. It would increase economic and health opportunities in communities that until now were unsafe at night. 2

AWA approached the Brigade Gateway project in a manner that sought to create a paradigm shift in the lit environment. The lighting design used architectural focal points and a consistent visual fabric at night to create a distinct visual hierarchy. We aspired to create compositions that would guide the design process, from conception to completion of the project, rather than using foot candles or lux levels to dictate the design. The landscape lighting was designed to create a warm and open environment as a direct counterpoint to the perceptions that might be engendered from the programmatic requirements of the site.

( ? ? harmoniously with their surroundings. Examples of this include the streetlight design (below) which

manufactured custom bollard (below) which was created using local materials (granite). The use of the bollards to light the walkways provides illumination without the use of any overhead lighting. The combination of the bollards and the tree uplighting creates an evocative visual experience. The lighting for the complex creates a layered hierarchy to the site, establishing a sense of place and enabling

intuitive navigation for pedestrians moving through. The dramatic water feature serves as the central anchor to the site with the other buildings and spaces revolving around it. The creative lighting solutions developed by AWA keep each space fresh and unique, and enliven the public spaces in the evening.

G9 Precinct is a 215 acre site located at the juncture between the CBD to the west - a large scale extreme grid and tower environment; Phase 3 to the East - an informal, small scale residential environment; and the canal which permeates these places with water from the Gulf. Formed by the orthogonal grid of the streets, the massing of the west side of the G9 Precinct is formal in style and character. The east side of the precinct is informal and creates irregular open spaces that expand and contract as they move through the mass buildings. Water, a powerful element, feeds the landscape as well as erodes and transforms it. Situated in the formal

urban park, an informal fresh water source associated with it runs down the streets and the university quad to return to nature and the sea. This literal interaction of the informal and formal creates special amphitheater coves within the university block and the lovely landscapes of the moat streets.

29.5-day lunar cycle. Gradations of light would have to be achieved by way of a complex switching system involving multiple layers of light. In mirroring the lunar cycle, we developed a separate lighting scene for each phase of the moon’s illumination, including the full, gibbous, half, crescent, and new moons. In our scheme, the new phase is not represented by complete darkness, but instead emits a subtle glow suggestive of the dim

eclipse. For two days observers will see this glow,

illuminate the bridge cables. The lighting of the bridge

arch returns with the appearance of the crescent moon, ?

for Islam. After this point, the arch light alternately accumulates and dissipates in sync with the rest of the moon’s phases.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Our concept for this Dubai Bridge Fifth Crossing competition is drawn from the symbol of the falcon and " € order to create a successful lighting design solution, the bridge was divided into distinct elements that are individually highlighted (akin to creating chords or notes in a symphony), and then combined to form a composition or symphony. The various lighting elements that we have determined, and their relationship to the physical body and movements of the falcon, are = ‚` | ‡ eye, spine, wingspan, roadway, underbelly (“panel�

of the falcon), and the diving arc of the bridge arch (“stooping� gesture of the hunting falcon.) The elements are divided into those which are stable and those which are mutable. The stable elements, such as the ribcage and spine, are brightly and continuously lit to suggest their strength and constancy. In contrast, the mutable elements, including the feathered “wing� cables and soft “panel� underbelly of the bridge are illuminated with less intensity, and more of a fading or gradient effect. To highlight the falcon’s sails, we have illuminated the inner cables of the bridge from their bases halfway up each cable, so that there

is a “feathering� effect of the wings’ upper ends. The ribcage is represented by the outer layer of cables, and strength of the bird’s torso. We have accented the eye of the falcon, the area where the two bridge arches intersect, with a glowing, internally lit ring of locallymined gold onyx.

The lighting design, besides responding to functional and maintenance requirements, augments the three visual personalities of the station – the passenger experience, the far view of the station, and the visual experience for the drivers on the adjoining highways. AWA developed a dramatic yet respectful lighting scheme for the Green Line Station that would attract both travelers and visitors. A monochromatic wash of light sweeps though the terminal as a train arrives and departs. When a train is not in the station, the exterior shell emits a white glow; a gradation of colored light pushes through the station gradually as the train arrives

and trails out as the train departs. The concept for the lighting scheme comes from the pumping motion of a piston in the steam engines.

This showcase private art gallery is located on the estate of a private residence. In working closely with both the architects and the owner, we were able to create a space which is visually stimulating, highly user friendly, and functional throughout the space’s varying needs. The core concept of the Gallery and landscape is that events or moments occur predictably and unpredictably through changes in the variables of the project. These changes can be contextual changes such as color, texture, and density of the landscape. The building actually changed in form and tectonics in

The lighting system used in D Gallery was an automated system that can be programmed to shift over periods ranging from seconds to 16 days. The system is topology free (not tied to rooms or other spaces), with about 50 control nodes. All of these elements have been provided so that the gallery space can be programmed to respond to natural shifts in the color, texture, and density of the adjoining landscape.

The terne-coated copper roof was a creative solution developed by John Shields, principal at Point B Design. The striking angular metal roof seems perfectly suited to the building’s purpose of showcasing the owner’s collection of minimalist paintings. The lighting on the underside of the roof was achieved by % ? * entry. The effect captured the roof’s crescendo near the entrance, and the complexity of its facets in the night, without relying upon harsh exterior lighting that would disrupt the gentle illumination of the night landscape.

The building’s frame is composed of custom-made weathering steel structures. The unique qualities of the weathering effect would result in the frames changing from “blaze orange� to a darker brown depending on the lighting. The architect explained how the steel will oxidize and weather naturally, adding new dimensions

Millions of lives are lost annually in Africa to malaria, a disease easily preventable by nighttime use of a simple mosquito net. This event and installation was intended to be the spark in fueling this push to provide assistance to the United Nations, raise global awareness, and directly save lives with fundraising from a global audience. The UNF approached AWA Lighting Designers to craft this installation and design the nets to be used and mass produced in Korea in order to make a great push to produce and move the nets to Africa. This great

challenge is a continuing effort to devote AWA’s creative skills toward generating awareness and solutions for social activism. The focal design content and form of the installation is inspired by an African village. It positions participants within “a night in Africa,” where a small village unites to engage in its rich local community. Attendees wander through a “village” composed of individual homes represented by a net sculpture, and gather around the illuminated central “hearth” of the installation. The nets are partnered with the medium

of light to create an illuminated, sculptural work of art. The nets are translated into a sculptural form and integrated into a simple architectural structure representative of the individual family huts in the African village. Key “personalities,� such as the “cocoon� and the protective “shield,� are represented in lights to communicate the sentiment towards the %

use of the nets, as well as beautiful scenes from Africa. This visual display not only communicates the large-scale life-saving power of the nets, but also the

individualized and unique feelings towards the nets felt by individuals in the villages using them. The emotional response and experience that this installation offers will drive a deeper motivation to act and donate among this great cause.

Considered to be Kashmir’s holiest Muslim shrine, Hazratbal Shrine contains a relic believed by Muslims to be a hair of the Prophet Muhammad. It is situated on Dal Lake in the municipality of Srinagar. It was originally built by Sadiq Khan, the Subedar of Mughal Emperor Shahjahan as a Palace with a garden in 1623, but was later converted into a prayer house in 1634 as ordered by Emperor Shahjahan. AWA’s intent with this project is to provide a lighting solution that highlights the natural beauty of the shrine’s architecture, as well as the connection between the visual and the physical approach to the

The large dome of the shrine will be illuminated as the primary focal point of the design, and its massing will be highlighted so as to create a monument to the city of Srinagar. The arched openings located along each façade will be grazed with light, and the texture of the screens between the openings will be lit from within, making the building appear to be glowing from within, while highlighting the texture of the ornate screens.

The mosque sits in the center of axis to Mecca as well as the center of the new axis of the site in relation to the rest of the city. The mosque sits atop a calm body of water creating “The Pearl in the Water�. The “Pearl in the Sky� at the apex of Al Faisaliyah II tower structure was a major inspiration for our lighting concept. The other source of inspiration for the lighting concept is taken from the idea of water being the source of creation of life on earth in Islamic Scriptures and history, and the way the mosque sits on this body of water, creating the “Pearl in the Water�. Both of these aspects, which are tightly centered on the axis

\ Concept: AWA designed the lighting for the Brigade Gateway complex by establishing focal points and a distinct visual hierarchy across the site, rather than using foot candles and lux levels to dictate the design.

PRINCIPAL’S INTERVIEW

Tell us about yourself. I was a wild kid in architecture school. No focus, but loads of energy. Thankfully, I found my calling fairly early when I fell in love with lighting. I have always wanted to design lit spaces which are not only culturally sensitive but aweinspiring. What is your design philosophy? I perceive light as a plastic medium, a medium with a certain volume, a medium with a certain porosity which % \

€ that ambient light, while the other type creates boundaries € \ be sculpted and colored for art, and then diagnosed and modulated for functional requirements. Tell us about the projects you have worked on recently in India as well as abroad. One of the most interesting projects is Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Bridge, Dubai. This bridge connects Bur Dubai to Deira. At 201 meter height, it is the largest single arch span bridge in the world. The concept for lighting of the Dubai Sixth Crossing Bridge is derived from the € sighting of the crescent moon as a basis for measuring time, and on the Lunar Cycle. One of our most exciting projects includes Tote in Mumbai. While designing the lighting here, I had numerous design discussions with the architects and while looking for an inspirational benchmark, we found

And that was it – I had a hook. Once the vision was clear, we had the creative courage to carry it thought the

\ design. We have also designed Blue Frog in Mumbai. I was shown the initial elevation and I saw the whole nodal ? whole space together. We’ve also worked on Medi City in Gurgaon, which is a holistic health center. I wanted to create an uplifting and happy space far removed from how we generally see hospitals. When did you decide that you eventually wanted to be a designer? I guess I was always looking at things differently. Growing up in India, there is always the peer pressure of getting a “good percentage� and then going to the IIT’s. However, I was fortunate that my parents never forced to do so. So when I got into design school, it took me a few years of

I guess they did not take me seriously. I don’t blame them because there were no synergies with most of them. I was looking for inspirations and stimulations from unconventional sources- pretty much anywhere I could Who is your inspiration? I am inspired by many things: Nature, seeing sunrises from an airplane 40,000 feet up in the air, musicians that stir the chords of your soul, chefs that cook with an internalized understanding of taste and ingredients, walking urban environments at night, and understanding how people from different cultures see light. As for people, James Turrell is a very inspiring light artist. And then there are two of my professors- Mark Rea and Russ Leslie at the Lighting Research Center who have always inspired me to do and be better.

Full Interview by "Society Interiors" June 2010

How do you approach a new design? When I create something for a new project, I am always looking to augment the vision of the architect and owner. Very often, they give us substantial freedom to put in our creativity, and that is a huge responsibility; with responsibility comes accountability. All projects for us are a new challenge to push ourselves creatively and to think out-of-the-box. I like to do challenging jobs and take part in projects that will bring me to an elevated level in lighting design. What do you have to say to the next generation, particularly for those hoping to follow in your footsteps? Stay true to yourself, stay honest to your passion and develop an honest work ethic. Five minutes with Abhay Wadhwa means‌ If I weren’t talking to you right now I would be‌. I would either be enjoying an inspirational, interactive ª

cooking a gourmet meal for friends, which is an unwinding experience; or traveling to some remote place to nourish my creative juices. The most surprising thing that happened to me was ‌.
