FORMER BANK ADDS NEW LIGHTING WITH EXTRA SHOT OF CARE STARBUCKS FLAGSHIP RESERVE STORE Tianjin, China

Innovation can lend a timeless quality to many things—coffee and architecture included. The new Starbucks flagship Reserve store in Tianjin, China, which has been lauded as thoughtfully bringing new life to a 100-year-old site, is a perfect example of this sentiment. “Beyond preserving the century old architecture in its fullest form, the Starbucks flagship store has also made creative use of its unique features,” said Luo Shuwei, famous historian and senior academic researcher from the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Starbucks partners have shown great passion and dedication to ensure that every design detail is in harmony with the original architectural style, to create a warm and welcoming ambience that is also filled with history.”

The 1921 building, designed by Shen Liyuan, is an iconic city landmark that originally housed a bank and the architecture reflects the scale and grandeur that was popular for these types of projects at that time. The lighting, designed by a team at WEGO Lighting Design Co., has been updated to highlight the preserved architectural features, while improving functionality and creating the right ambience for coffeehouse culture.

The high intensity floodlights that illuminated the Greek-style exterior were replaced with 2200K LED fixtures. Inside, lighting was carefully, and ingeniously, incorporated to avoid damaging the original architectural elements. Instead of relying on typical installation methods, some LED lighting was embedded into the glass dome and bronze tubes were used creatively to ensure that no nails were stuck into the imported ABOVE: Lighting was carefully incorporated to avoid damaging the original architectural elements; some LED lighting was embedded into the glass dome and bronze tubes were used to ensure no nails were used in the marble columns.

Fund Distributes $160,000 for 2021

“THE NUCKOLLS FUND AWARD IS AN IMPORTANT AND NEEDED KNOWLEDGE RESOURCE WITHIN THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY.”

The second largest annual number of grants and awards in its 32-year history has been distributed by The Nuckolls Fund for Lighting Education for 2021. Nine recipients received a total of $160,000, ranging from $5,000 to $30,000.

The Nuckolls Fund was established in 1988 and supports college-level lighting programs that enable students to learn and apply the fundamentals of lighting design, and to recognize the achievements of the late lighting designer and pioneer lighting educator, James L. Nuckolls.

How’s it Hanging?

Nuckolls Fund president Lee Waldron, FIALD, and president of Grenald Waldron Associates, recognized the generosity of the lighting community for the fund to continue financial support for the advancement of lighting education.“It has allowed a great number of schools to improve the ways they deal with new lighting technology, and the unique lighting requirements

One of those 2021 recipients was Morgan State University, the first Nuckolls Fund program participant from the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The school earned a $30,000 grant to pursue the topic, “Light in the Built Environment.”

“Morgan State University’s Graduate Architecture Program will be the first HBCU to develop a graduate level transdisciplinary lighting class. The proposers pointed out that while the 106 HBCUs make up 3% of America’s colleges and universities, they are responsible for 25% of all African American graduates in the

ARCHITECTURAL ILLUMINATION MATTERS

LIGHTING A MASTERWORK From its commanding view atop Fairmount on the Schuylkill River, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has been a symbol of the city’s cultural status and proud historical heritage since its completion in 1928. Its main physical drawback is that there are no open adjoining surfaces to adapt for expansion. With expansion possibilities limited, the decision was made to go beneath the sprawling landmark and simultaneously open previously hidden spaces to make room for more public and exhibit space. The $233-million Core Project was projected to open nearly 90,000 sq. ft. to public access.

For the project, an architectural firm headed

by Frank Gehry was selected, even though he is better known for his exuberant designs of above-ground museums, performance halls and other public structures. He is reported to have said, “I’m ready to take on the project,” when he accepted at the age of 77.

On the creative team Gehry assembled was the lighting design firm of L’Observatoire International, headed by Hervé Descottes, who had directed an impressive list of interior and

The firm’s scope for the Philadelphia Museum’s Core Project included the building façade and entrances, new and renovated public spaces, and circulation and exhibition spaces. While improvements were made throughout the museum, this article will focus on four major areas—the Vaulted Walkway, Williams Forum, Forum Gallery and Lenfest Hall.

Clad in a system of terracotta tiles invented by Catalan architect Rafael Guastavino in 1885, the self-supporting arches are comprised of a layer of tiles in a herringbone pattern set in Portland cement.

In the adjacent Forum Gallery, the downlight grid aligns with the space’s original columns, maintaining its classical symmetry. Anchored by a sculptural staircase, its curving lines are highlighted through carefully aimed downlighting. The stairs lead to the museum’s ground level, where areas once used for the museum’s offices and retail have been transformed into two wings of galleries as part of the Core Project.

FROM 12 DISPARATE LIGHTING CONTROLS TO A SINGLE SOLUTION LAMBEAU FIELD Green Bay, Wisc.

Challenge: In operation since 1957, Lambeau Field is one of the most legendary and longstanding sporting venues in the United States.

The stadium underwent a significant renovation in 2001 and has added several upgrades and expansions since then. As a result of these two decades of changes, there were over 12 disparate lighting control systems from different manufacturers that were not fully integrated.

This sparked the search for a single technology provider that could unify and standardize solutions into one ecosystem.

Solution: Lambeau Field transitioned the vast majority of lighting in the stadium to Crestron,

STADIUM MANAGEMENT: The Crestron installation is a cohesive lighting automation system that

allows stadium management to easily upgrade lighting preferences and closely monitor and control energy expenditures for the facility.

which now controls concourses, suites, club seats, event spaces, parking lots and façade lighting from a single platform. The stadium also implemented robust information security standards that Crestron built into the makeup of its solutions using Active Directory Credential Management, which integrates the authentication on a Crestron device with the stadium’s enterprise-wide IT infrastructure. Through this monitoring, facilities personnel can proactively keep track of their system instead of having to react to situations, ensuring that on gameday, they know the system will work as intended.

“The decision to standardize on Crestron was an easy one,” said Anne Larson, facilities office coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. “It was evident that it could handle every aspect of the project, including meeting required IT security standards using Active Directory. We now have one vendor and one system that is easy to use and update.”• 

HOTEL GARAGE ADDS LIGHTING FOR SECURITY + SAFETY AC HOTEL SOUTHPARK Charlotte, N.C.

Challenge: The AC Hotel SouthPark was purposefully designed to deliver a sophisticated, comfortable, European-inspired environment and the design team intended to carry this aesthetic all the way into the new parking structure. Unfortunately, creating a comfortable, safe, code-compliant parking garage depends upon identifying a lighting fixture that can deliver the right amount of light into the right location, while preventing it from spilling into unwanted areas. The project also demanded that the luminaires have a certain level of aesthetic sensibility, so that the first impression guests had of the property would align correctly with the intended experience of the brand.

years. The extensive use of glass on the façade offers incredible views of IJ harbor and the historic Amsterdam Center City. While the spectacular building was able to be enjoyed by passersby during the day, it went relatively unnoticed at night, until now.

Solution: The PTA now has a state-of-the-art nighttime lighting system that features 172 Dyna Drum SO Color luminaires from Acclaim Lighting.

The Dyna Drum SO Color is a high output, outdoor rated LED flood fixture with a wired digital communication network. The fixture features spectrum technology to offer more usable colors, including pastels, dedicated whites and dynamic white options, all in the same system. In addition, it has an adjustable yoke, on-board digital display, and a 100-277VAC internal power supply.

Wireless-Enabled Fixtures Several Luminis luminaires are now enabled with the nLight AIR wireless lighting controls platform, which allows the fixtures to communicate wirelessly with other nLight enabled devices such as dimmers, switches, and occupancy sensors. Whether a project calls for the more modern Hollowcore high-bay fixture, general illumination from contemporary Aramis or Prisma fixtures, or exterior Bellevue lighting fixtures for landscape or streets, the lighting design will be dramatically simplified when built upon the nLight wireless lighting control platform.  Visit www.luminis.com or Circle 231.

A Dazzling Aida High-power lighting and digital content reinvigorate classic opera.

First performed in 1871, the story of Aida is considered by many to be timeless, but even classics can benefit from a reimagined mode of storytelling. This point is perfectly illustrated by Opera Australia’s critically acclaimed digital production of none other than Aida, which incorporates integrated digital technologies to transport the audience in a whole new way.

Opera Australia describes the digital set as, “Ten towering digital screens that create everchanging floor-to-ceiling set pieces. Immersive digital video design ranges from rich symbolism to vivid landscapes.” The five pairs of programmable UniView Tekken LED screens featured in the performance are 30-ft. high and 6.5-ft. wide.

They glide around the stage on tracks and can rotate 540 degrees. Video images are delivered by 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors from Brompton.

The use of digital screens as a significant production element presented some unique challenges to lighting designer John Rayment.

“Screens are light emitting. Therefore, I am constantly adjusting the lighting to balance, as content changes,” he explains.

In the core rig, Rayment installed a combination of Martin Encore CLD Performance (× 67) and Martin Encore CLD Wash (× 24), equipped with a 460W LED light engine, generating a luminous output of 39,400 lm. The Ayrton Wildsun S25 (× 9) is a major single source wash instrument, which can output up to 60,000 lm, via 217 × 600 lm RGBW sources per lantern, with a zoom range of 10 degrees to 60 degrees. All lanterns have a range of color temperature capacity up to 6000K.•
