ILLUMINATION AWARD FOR OUTDOOR LIGHTING DESIGN
Award of Excellence

WILSHIRE GRAND CENTER, Los Angeles

Designers: Joshua VanBlankenship, Brian Parisi, Derek Warrick – StandardVision, Chip Israel, Andrew Powell, Panitkwan (Arex) Soontharuch – Lighting Design Alliance

A prominent figure on the Los Angeles skyline, the Wilshire Grand Center uses lighting to accentuate three of the building's key architectural features: the courtyard, the spine and the crown. The courtyard display consists of a dynamic high-resolution media platform set behind unitized façade panels, allowing for 70% transparency inside with bespoke mullion integration. The complexity of the building's spine required a modular fixture design capable of 220 distinct length variations. Pre-installation of more than 13,000 ft of fixtures and of cables in panels helped mitigate costly exterior installation. Along with the accent fixtures, integrated media displays are synchronized across the façade to help define the architectural volumes of the building's spine and crown. The oval-shaped crown serves as a platform to broadcast tenant logos and identification, as well as synchronized lighting programs.
