A luminous fiber optic tube snakes along and follows the S-curve of the wall. The illuminator for the fiber optic is a color wheel, which runs all day. The colorful tube, which changes hues at 30-second intervals through the color spectrum from violet to yellow, keeps the space from becoming static. The illuminator for the fiber optic tube, seen here from the conference room, is a color wheel which changes hues at 30-second intervals through the color spectrum. It was our intent to create an interesting hierarchy of light, reinforcing more significant spaces with light.
Hallways are other instances of positive and negative space.
So, rather than trying to interject a lot of light into the hallways, the designers opted for light sconces mounted on wooden columns, which protrude slightly from the wall. After deciding upon the location for the lights, the architects and lighting consultants turned to detailing the sconces and determining how they would be attached to the columns. All agreed that they did not want to attach conduit to the columns. In the end, they decided to attach a piece of glass to the column and aim a light at it from the ceiling. Munson and Shook collaborated on the form of the fixtures, trying different samples and shapes of glass, methods of frosting and ways of aiming light at it.
