The Al Wahda Arches Creating Immersive Public Art with Light The Al Wahda Arches receive a lighting makeover The Al Wahda Arches, also known as the 5/6 Arch, Qatar Arch, and Gateway Arch in Doha, Qatar, is the tallest monument in the country. In 2018, the structure was recognized with the ENR Global Best Project Award and again in 2020 with the prestigious International Design Award. The monumental pair of 20° inclined steel arches, spans the "5/6 interchange" of the Lusail expressway which connects West Bay with Lusail City. The structure consists of 54 large steel pieces, weighing over 9,000 tons, while the base of the arches are clad in Limra Limestone from Turkey. The $74 million project began in December 2013 and after partial completion was inaugurated along with the expressway for National Day celebrations in December 2017. Due to construction occurring during the 2017 Qatar blockade the arches have taken on a local cultural significance of resilience. Al Wahda Arch is intended to be viewed while in motion as an immersive public artwork. The monument, suspended viewing platform, and associated visitor center were commissioned by Ashghal, the public works authority, designed by German architect Erik Behrens for AECOM, engineering by Maffeis Engineering and constructed by Eversendai. This effect was achieved by using Color Kinetics luminaires to create a media screen that would provide entertaining and meaningful content. Lighting designers opted for a custom version of Color Kinetics Flex Compact RGB to complete the design. Over 1,700 strings with 60,000 individually controllable nodes were mounted inside customized node holders which were then attached to a secondary steel mesh support to create 3,000 sq m (32,300 sq ft) media façades. The nodes are positioned back-to-back with a pixel pitch of 300 mm (1 ft). This design ensures the two media façades are visible from each direction, even hundreds of feet away on the roadway surface. The project is controlled by Pharos and uses CM-150 CA gen2 for power and data. Color Kinetics luminaires were specifically chosen for this project due to their ability to withstand harsh environments. The reliability of the brand and wide range of global references were also considered when making the choice.

I-74 Bridge
After more than a decade of planning and collaboration, the I-74 Bridge, which spans the Mississippi River, has emerged as a striking beacon of civic pride and connectivity for the Quad Cities. Designed with signature double basket-handle arches, the bridge comes alive at night through a dynamic lighting design that features over 25 programmed scenes celebrating local events, holidays, and the changing seasons.
At the heart of the illumination strategy are Lumenpulse's Lumenbeam and Lumenfacade luminaires, selected for their precision optics, rugged performance, and architectural integration. Lumenbeam fixtures provide powerful uplight to emphasise the verticality and elegance of the arch structures, while Lumenfacade luminaires follow the graceful lines of the suspension cables and end beams, illuminating the arches from top to base. The result is a layered lighting composition that transforms the structure into a vibrant icon after dark.
Designed to endure Iowa's extreme weather, high floodplain conditions, and long-term use, the Lumenpulse system was specified with high durability, corrosion-resistant finishes, and minimized maintenance needs. Mounting solutions were engineered in coordination with the bridge's steel deck fabrication—ensuring seamless installation and future access for servicing.
Along the pedestrian path, the experience is enhanced with a glowing overlook and illuminated glass oculus, offering travellers a moment of calm amid the movement. The bridge's "Identity Element" columns creatively use reflective highway sign material to distribute light from a single Lumenbeam at each base, reinforcing a sense of storytelling through lighting.
Today, the I-74 Bridge stands as more than a means of crossing—it is a bold, illuminated expression of community, engineering, and design excellence.

FLANNELS Flagship store
The new FLANNELS flagship store in Leeds spans six floors and 6,500 m² of retail space, bringing together luxury fashion, interior design, beauty, and gastronomy under one roof. The listed façade combines traditional brickwork with Art Deco elements – creating an exciting interplay of old and new.
To accentuate the structure and depth of the historic masonry after dark, 163 meters of ADONIS were installed. This linear IP67-protected luminaire is ideally suited for long-term outdoor use and, thanks to its miniaturized design, allows for particularly precise and discreet integration into direct façade lighting. The selected color temperature of 3000 K specifically enhances the warm tones of the red brick and ensures a uniform, high-quality appearance of the façade at night. The lighting concept was complemented by RGB projectors from WE-EF and a fully addressable DMX control system.
