With new buildings and condominiums popping up every single day, standing out among the plethora of structures can be challenging, which is why these neon architectural designs are using illumination to make a greater visual impression.
While neon lights are often used to accentuate restaurants or local retailers, these buildings are taking neon lights to a whole new level by showcasing it on a much grander scale. A great way to add a fun and eye-catching allure to a traditional building, especially at night, these neon architectural designs are sure to stop people in their tracks with their use of blindingly bold colors.
From neon housing pavilions to electric pedestrian overpasses, these eye-catching architectural designs are showcasing the kinds of abstract techniques that designers are using to enhance ordinary structures with more appeal.
