In Praise of Light

3/31/2022

0 Comments

 
Here in Vancouver, BC, we are shaking off a cool, wet winter and embracing the light that spring brings us. Each year the sunshine reminds us just how important light is in our lives. As humans, we too feel solar-powered. 

Reviewing some Barrisol projects recently we found ourselves admiring two installations form the UK. We imagine, like us in Vancouver, BC, those in the UK must also hold light in high regard.​​

The project below features an impressive sculptural design, which includes Barrisol Lumiere fabric.​ Our compliments to PLP Architecture for this impressive installation. It is located at 22 Bishopsgate London, UK. ​​​​Watch the video here.

​​The following installation, by Stiff + Trevillion Architects, at 40 Bank Street, London UK, is a perfect example of how Barrisol can be implemented to create a skylight effect using backlit translucent Barrisol sheeting. ​​​​Watch the video here.

This is an excellent example of a create, and aesthetic, use of light.
Location: Brandhorst Museum - Germany.
"The Contemporary Art museum of Munich was inaugurated last May. Its architecture is based on a design and ecological concept. The architect Sauerbruch Hutton chose Barrisol Lumière® to light and enhance the exposed works of the XXth century among which the Andy Wahrol's famous paintings. Indeed, Barrisol Lumière® diffuses the light in a sweet and homogeneous way on the whole exhibition space. Furthermore, the Barrisol sheets are 100%, recyclable and are so perfectly adapted in this modern building turned to sustainable environment." - Courtesy of www.barrisol.ca.

Happy New Year!

2015 looks like it is going to be a busy year for the construction, architecture & design industry here in greater Vancouver, BC.

Whether you are working on a small project....
Picture
or a large one...
Picture
we can add some light to your space with custom translucent Barrisol ceilings...
Picture
To achieve even back lighting we recommend either florescent tubes (1 ft from the Barrisol ceiling membrane and 1 ft on center) or LEDs. When back lighting with LEDs the quantity and the spacing of the lights will need to be determined by the specific LEDs selected.
Picture
To view more photos of back lit ceilings please visit our Lighting Gallery.
