Natural and electric lighting design by Lam Partners helps bring this 10-meter (~33-ft) tall, aluminum artwork on a tech campus in Mountain View, CA, to life.
1) At night, LEDs cast warm-white light on the structure and through folds and perforations in the artwork’s shell.
2) Uplighting accentuates The Orb’s curved form, allowing it to appear as a “coral reef in static movement.”
3) During brighter hours, sunlight filters through the perforations to create an interplay of light and shadow on the ground of the open-air pavilion.
