Each of the 748 “pixels”, as they appear from a distance, has two LED lights behind it. The Rundle Lantern was originally designed to be a lantern for this part of town, hence its name. It's an ever-changing, always moving painting, changing city landscapes indefinitely. **Implications** - Consumers are no longer interested in the size of buildings alone -- there must be another feature that draws them in. This pattern of [light-filled structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybank-light-show) fuses the possibilities that future technologies provide with light aesthetics. Businesses can use this tendency to computerize or gadget-ize items to make them fresh for consumers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Light-filled Structures:** The use of light aesthetics in architecture and design is becoming a key trend, as consumers seek unique and visually appealing features in buildings. - **Interactive Art Installations:** Creating interactive art installations, such as the Rundle Lantern, that engage and entertain audiences is a growing trend in the art and entertainment industry. - **Integration of Technology in Design:** The integration of future technologies, like LED lights, into building design is a trend that combines functionality and aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** The architecture and design industry can leverage the trend of light-filled structures to create visually stunning and immersive experiences for clients. - **Art and Entertainment:** The art and entertainment industry has opportunities to create unique and engaging experiences through interactive installations like the Rundle Lantern. - **Technology:** The use of technology, such as LED lights, in building design presents opportunities for innovation and collaboration between the technology and construction industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bakery Converted Art Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lantern.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [OLED Display Lantern Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rn-lantern.md) - [Neon Illustation-Donned Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1.md) - [Kinetic Interaction Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transmutation-observatory.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Pointy Paper Lantern Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-lantern-pavilion.md) - [Interactive Public Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion.md)
