llumination Physics was commissioned to help bring to life the first wave of HSBC’S 150th anniversary celebration – the digital makeover of its headquarters at 1 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong. The building makeover is a permanent feature and comes to life every evening between 6.30pm and 11.00pm as well as participating in the nightly world-renowned 'A Symphony of Lights’.
Illumination Physics was commissioned to help bring to life the first wave of HSBC’S 150th anniversary celebration – the digital makeover of its headquarters at 1 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong. The building makeover is a permanent feature and comes to life every evening between 6.30pm and 11.00pm as well as participating in the nightly world-renowned 'A Symphony of Lights’.
Illumination Physics designed three massive media walls that were seamlessly integrated into the glass façades between the refuge floors. These walls range from 880 square metres to 1,100 square metres and consist of 2,652 of illumination Physics’ custom made ‘X-Wall’ media strips which utilize a total of 217,464 RGB LED’s. The three media walls can be used to create one composite image or three separate scenes.
The lighting of this extraordinary building has always accentuated its main feature – the ‘Exoskeleton’. This is comprised of two ‘ladder’ trusses which extend the full height of the building. Suspended from the ladders are the horizontal and diagonal brace elements of the exoskeleton. A decision was made to use RGBW fixtures with composite lenses which allowed for a distinct improvement in colour variety and colour mixing capability. The IP Wash 48 was used for the grazing of the main members of the exoskeleton. The IP Wash 24 was utilized with a composite for the Ladder Truss, enabling the accurate lighting of the underside of each rung of the ladder without spill.
Three new light fixtures were designed and manufactured by Illumination Physics specifically for this project.
