Monumen Nasional was built as memorial place of Indonesia’s heroism for freedom. In time, the place uniquely become a recreational space for local community. Design challenge was to develop lighting concept that serves both purposes, as well as how to elaborate the relatively plain tower without distracting it with unnecessary light element. Thus, lighting scenarios are introduced:
- White clean appearance to emphasize the architecture form while creating a solemn yet grace ambiance. This scene serves the ‘memorial’ purpose, performed during weekdays.
- Colours, graphics, and dynamic lighting scenes to serve the ‘recreational’ purpose, performed during weekends, when regularly crowded.
The project received Award of Merit in 2005 from International Association of Lighting Designers.
