This lighting piece has such a great appeal. It almost acts as a part of the architecture... not just a fixture therein. The modularity of the parts allows for limitless shape possibilities. This could be a very powerful vehicle for concept if used in different ways throughout a design.
This artistic form of lighting exudes the definition of innovative. It creates such an urban appeal using such a normal clearly understood object in such an unusual way.
In this lighting solution, the interaction between the lit faces and the mirrored surfaces creates a bizarre sci-fi effect. the pattern on the wall is a much thinner "ghost" version of the ceiling plane. It is a very unique use of recesses and lighting to create a piece that invites the occupant to "explore" the forms visually.
I included this lighting sketch in my book because I really like the way that the architect represented the different candelas of the light fixtures. The daylight is also shown here. I tried to incorporate this style into my sketch series diagrams and such. I imagine a series of building sections such as this would be very effective at communicating a total lighting plan in elevation.

I think the power of this design is the use of small scale objects in a vast number. if you looked at a whole acre field of nothing but tennis balls or bottle caps, the power of those small objects becomes quite immense. This was quite successfully captured here, especially since the occupants are moving during their experience.
