FRANCIS UPRITCHARD HERE COMES EVERYBODY
Completed
The entry foyer to the new Sydney Modern Project features an undulating transparent skylight with customer seating areas and giant-like sculptures created by Francis Upritchard - a New Zealand contemporary artist based in London.
​
The grid arrangement of the columns allowed for services to be reticulated to the light fittings. Already selected were the house lights that provided a general lighting level to the floor. What was missing in all of this was the gallery lighting and the challenge was to find something that would meet SAANAs aesthetic / visual requirements (as there were already a number of other services there) as well as the performance we were after to light these sculptures in the way we wanted given these limitations.
​
Using the architects Rhino model, we were able to test a number of suitable external projectors / flood lights, including some that had framing options and present the 3D visualisations to show the lighting concepts and possibilities.
