Lighting up a newly reconstructed forum in contrast-rich appearance
The walking path connects different sections of the Forum
Utrecht central station is the busiets and the most important station of the country. Not only the station itself got completely renovated, the surrounding area is being reconstructed too. Group A redesigned several parts of the area. The landscape required updated lighting, therefore we designed the light plan.
Instead of a uniformly, and boring, lit environment, the area has a contrast-rich appearance. This makes it sparkling in between the tall buildings that form the so-called Forum. The light plan also includes the new large bicycle parking and Mineurslaan transport route for buses, departing from the bust terminal underneath the train station.
Light calculations were performed to select the most suitable fixture and visualize light effect of the custom hand railings.
