SUBTLETY AT ITS BEST——The Rookery in Chicago Receives Its First Facade Lighting Scheme

在过去的几年里，历史建筑的外立面照明几乎没有真正的发展。最主要的任务是定义建筑的细节，使建筑能在入夜后成为被欣赏和赞美的对象。细节越细，越难使用常规的光源和灯具来设计，灯具常常太大以至于不能很好地整合进立面的肌理中。获奖项目芝加哥Rookery大厦充分证明了当涉及到固态照明时，尺寸不是一个理由了，精确度也不再是一个问题。

The overriding task is to define the architectural details to enable the building to be viewed - and celebrated - after dark, The finer these details, the more difficult it became to light the facade using conventional light sources and luminaires the latter being too large and ungainly to integrate into the texture of the facade, Size is not an argument when it comes to solid state lighting, however, and precision is also no longer an issue, as the award-winning project The Rookery in Chicago more than adequateTy demonstrates,
