FACADES
"bright LED"
designer's own words: all-you-can-think is an architectural design proposal for a cultural centre. prefabricated acryl elements with built-in LEDs are implanted in the in-situ concrete walls. these elements give the walls a perforated appearance by transmitting daylight during daytime. illuminating LEDs cast in the units emit light so the façade works as a high-resolution media façade during the night.

FACADES
"integration of a low resolution light- and media facade"
In addition the panels carrying the bowls come in three different types differing in the average size and number of the bowls molded into their surface.
GRC (glass fibre reinforced cement) surface shows a system of irregular shaped indentations of varying density and size. Those “bowls” are individually lit and become “pixels” of a large display system.
Each bowl appears to be unique in shape and size. Also the distribution of the bowls appears to be irregular. Only the distribution density stays consistent.
Technically each bowl is lit indirectly by lateral light sources (compact fluorescent lights), which light up the bowl’s bottom and side surfaces. The grayscale system based on fluorescent light will allow the display of moving images at a rate of 20 frames per second.

The surfaces of the bowls are milled to focus the light reflection in a horizontal direction limiting light pollution and energy consumption.

FACADE SYSTEMS_MATERIALS
- The "boxes" holding the exhibition halls don't require natural daylight so can be made out of a compact material as concrete. Then this concrete wall could be covered in aluminum sheets that could be lit from the back. So it would appear as there were no massive concrete wall behind it
Other Options
“concrete skin”
Product description: fibreC, which is also known as and has won international architectural awards - is a concrete panel reinforced with glassfibres which combines the advantages of concrete and glassfibres in one product: it is as solid, mouldable and durable as concrete, but thanks to the glassfibres also thin-walled, fireproof and light-weight. Like a skin of concrete, it allows the construction of slim elements with a tensile strength. The extremely thin concrete slabs contribute to the new language of shapes.
