The Avalokiteśvara altar | A lighting project at Buddhist Holy Land | Mount Putuo, Zhejiang, China

Описание: Watch here the case study we prepared for you on the altar dedicated to Avalokiteśvara, the Buddhist deity of compassion in China. We interviewed for you the Director of Shanghai Alt Lighting Design Studio, Jianping Wang, on the concept his team developed for this project.

The lighting design team was inspired by a verse in the twenty- fifth chapter of Lotus Sutra, one of the most important sacred texts of Buddhism, in which Buddha is described as the light that eradicates darkness and lights up the world: "Being pure, whose splendour is immaculate, whose knowledge is free of darkness, you shine like the sun, radiant, like a flash of fire, you spread your splendour throughout the world in the course of your flight".

The work was particularly complex due to the variety and vastness of the rooms and different decorative materials. The lighting project had to create a solemn atmosphere and guarantee a perfect assimilation between the luminaires, the architectural structure and the sculpted elements to achieve an end result of balanced beauty.
