Solar street lights and other street light solutions using advanced solar technology

The EXPO which started from May 1 shows us the great development of the modern cities. All countries try to show their best to visitor all over the world. And Denmark is no exception. Martin Professional and the Centre for Advanced Visualization and Interaction (CAVI) at Aarhus University have designed, developed and installed the façade and auxiliary areas for the Danish Pavilion.

More than 3500 full-color LED lamps have been installed in holes in the Pavilion's perforated external walls. The lamps are controlled by day lighting and temperature sensors installed in the Pavilion, which combined with specially developed software create an animated look in interplay with the surroundings and architecture.

"By incorporating dynamic lighting as an integrated part of our surroundings we can vitalize the spaces around us and expand their possibilities so that in addition to being sites for profitable business they are communicative and interactive; in other words, living façades, which fascinate, inspire and inform," states Leif Orkelbog-Andresen, Martin's architectural segment market manager who has lived and breathed the project for over a year.

There are 25 other areas of the Danish Pavilion which are all illuminated and controlled individually with lighting supplied by Martin Professional, most notably Denmark's iconic The Little Mermaid, which was transported from Copenhagen and sits in the centre of the Pavilion's basin.

There are many other application areas with Martin lighting as well including a social bench, bike ramp, Mermaid Bar, shop, storytelling boxes and more. In fact, Martin has delivered virtually every bulb in the Pavilion.

BIG won a design competition for the Danish Pavilion by relying on its 'pragmatic utopian' design values - a balance between the playful and practical approaches to architecture. Experimenting with space without losing sight of the building as a solution to a real-world problem, the Danish Pavilion is an excellent example of sustainability increasing the quality of life and putting fun back into sustainable architecture in a socially, economically and environmentally responsible way.

The Pavilion is a spiral-shaped structure that curls the exhibition space in a double loop, with pedestrian and cycling lanes and a central harbour bath as the main features. A color-changing architecture that pulsates with life as art, the media facade gives a new form of expression and experience for the visitor as a communicative and interactive façade.

The beautiful lighting is very amazing look from the inner side. And we could enjoy a beautiful night bathing the colorful lighting from the LED lights.
