Museums and a library form the cultural highlights inside the Changzhou Culture Plaza. The six pavilions cantilever in large arcs and open a covered public space in their centre. A watercourse flowing through the 17-hectare site links the different areas.
Lichtvision realised the façade and landscape lighting. Originating from high poles around the complex, the façade lighting emphasises the visual unity of the 50-meter-high pavilions. The general lighting of the traffic routes was also realized with poles.
From the edges of the cantilevers, the public space between the buildings is lit. Linear underwater lighting illuminates the watercourse, while elements such as trees and sculptures are illuminated by recessed ground luminaires. Linear luminaires are also integrated into benches and handrails.
