INTRODUCTION

SCOPE
This document sets out the lighting strategy and explores lighting solutions
for the proposed green wall on the south facade of the New Bridge building at
Blackfriars, London. The key objective of the lighting scheme is to generate
visual interest by incorporating vertical and grazing lighting elements along the
green wall to enhance the facing elevation as an identifiable landmark.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The main lighting objectives for this report are as follows:
• CREATE A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT - Designing a green wall
lighting environment for visual enjoyment.
• PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SPECTACLE - Aid in the creation of
eye catching feature lighting.
• ENHANCE THE LANDSCAPE AT A HUMAN SCALE - Incorporating a
concept that highlights architectural features with a human-led view.
• LIMIT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT - Using a sustainable approach by
installing lighting controls to limit overall energy use.
