Location: Shenzhen, Guangdong - China + Improvements to various Shenzhen Metro stations called for the installation of several underpasses. Lightweight steel bridges were designed for the foot and cycle paths running perpendicular to the tracks, complimented by architectural and landscape design. The architectural wall installation is made of plastic composites based on resin and glass fibers with a lightened core that is in constant interplay with the LED lighting system at the base that changes the color tone. The result is a unique form which constantly changes faces during the day and time of year. Apart from its surprising appearance, the new skin material was chosen for its properties that are suitable for this type of intervention: It is lightweight, easy to install, chemical and mechanical resistance. In addition, LED lighting presents a significant energy savings compared to traditional lighting methods.
