human centric lighting
activating the city space around it,” described Mahlberg. “In the cinema hall for the first time we used fibre optic
lighting combined with LED lights to achieve the design intent with continuous light dot lines on the walls and
the ceiling marking every seating row. This worked out
fine in the end, even though we had our doubts regarding the possible difference of the quality of light from these
different light sources. This is also the first project where white neon light tubes were used in the signage.
“One element was the colour of the light, normally
4000K is used as a standard but sometimes it gives a
rather pale and dull atmosphere, especially with wood involved. So, we did some testing and found out that
3000K or 3500K worked better in some circumstances.”
There were some custom made solutions throughout the
building made to accommodate the lighting fixtures, such as the bookshelves that were modified so the lighting fixtures could contribute to the overall lighting of the book heaven.
A hanging bubble made of ETFE (Ethylene
Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, a plastic construction
material) hangs in the southern entrance way and acts like a lantern guiding visitors in.
“Lighting brings clarity, warmth and readability to the
spaces and helps one to orientate through the building. The final result is fantastic and works very well with our initial ideas. There are still some adjustments to
be made in the lighting control, but we are very happy with the overall finish,” reflected Mahlberg. www.ala.fi
