Facade, Landscape and Indoor Lighting
A lighting design that focuses on all the elements of the architecture of Qatar University, the design elevated the overall look of the facades. a lighting volume for an architectural void highlighted the entrance of the university, by carefully filling voids with downlights, and lighting the three pillars holding the extruded element, the focus shifted towards the main façade.
The slim narrow openings were emphasized with frame lights to contour their slim shape.
The interior lighting for the university depended on achieving two main goals: an aesthetical value and following international standards.
The main corridor, with a ceiling that reflects the flooring pattern, was lit with two color temperatures. Creating a dynamic movement and depth to the space.
The lighting was closely studied to maintain appropriate lux level depending on the activity of each room.
