La Condition Publique: Thread and Patchwork of Light

La Condition Publique: Thread and Patchwork of Light

La Condition Publique is crossed by an interior street, covered along its first section, open along the second, currently being developed. The lighting concept unfolds in two stages.

The first is a thread of light. Functional lighting follows the street and marks the rhythm of the roof structure. Deliberately offset, its layout breaks the long perspective: like a thread of stitching, the light runs across the building, linking and weaving the architecture together, guiding the eye and the walk through.

The second is a patchwork of light. Coloured touches appear here and there on the façades, the roof structure and the ground. They form a succession of looser, more event-driven fragments of light that shift the perception of the street according to its uses. Light becomes matter, colour and movement.
