Kunsthaus Graz Lighting Skin
Used as an interactive portion of the games, the opening and closing ceremonies in the 2012 London Olympic games used LED lighting panels, one at each seat, to display designs and messages across the stadium.
The BIX facade on the art museum reflects a trend in buildings to use the latest in technologies in facade design. A combination of acrylic panels and 930 lighting rings are used to display designs and images on the side of the building. In essence, each ring fuctions as a pixel in a large picture. Text and film are both projected on the facade.
The lighting was only temporary and is used in similar situations for music concerts and other shows.
The building is located in Berlin and was designed in 2003 by Peter Cook and Colin Fournier.
