Futuristic Lighting in Public Spaces

The Dutch New Media Center is Light Years Ahead

Scandavian design just kills. Check out this new media plaza designed by the Dutch Architetural firm Liong Lie Architects. Eight rooms play with different light techniques and placement to create space and drama. Three forms of light, including moving light in two tunnels, make the transition to the plaza magical. Interactive projected lights on the floor change colors for day and night.
