These facilities are commissioned to Kengo Kuma Associates, Architect together with Nihon Sekkei where ALG was asked to assist and enhance their architectural concept through lighting. Because of architects’ strong intension to utilize wood material as most visual building element, ALG proposed in lighting to be bold and to reveal whole space as in the traditional lantern through extensive use of upper lights. By doing so, we have created completely unique large-scale wood construction and proposed many new construction techniques. In the photo, you can see how Kuma’s dynamic architectural spaces has been revealed through lighting by ALG.
