Last June, we shared a photo of the Rochester (NY) Airport Entry Canopy under construction and referred to the bit of lighting bling to be installed. Last night, the December weather in Rochester may have been icy to the fingers and toes but the eyes can now warm up to the canopy awash in color.  Diane McNabb Rodriguez joins firm to extend service reach.

About Hartranft Lighting Design. Now with more than 100 years’ collective experience and 1000+ projects inform our approach to responsible lighting design solutions, Hartranft Lighting Design applies specialized expertise to help architects, developers and owners realize their vision of commercial, institutional, and mixed-use spaces. Hartranft Lighting Design is a woman-owned business (WBE) with offices in Charlotte, Boston and Washington, DC. Charlotte Douglas International Airport just opened its new 230,000 sq ft expansion to Terminal A, adding nine new gates and lots of technological updates. The dynamic architectural volume is lighted with double stripes of direct view LED strips that curve along with the ceiling, accentuating the building's form when inside, and creating a strong visual from the outside. Video walls (by Los Angeles artist Refik Anadol) in the new terminal and the new connector tie to exterior color changing fins along the exterior face of the connector and flush mounted color changing strips on the interior columns. The lighting is programmed to coordinate with the digital imagery of the walls - imagery that abstractly visualizes simple data such as arrivals, departures and baggage handling in a spectacular way.    Updated 6/25/2018 The Rochester Airport Entry Canopy has come out of its design cocoon and is unfolding its “wings” at blazing speed! The main structure is more that 50% installed, and the fabric cover is not far behind. Some of the roadway lighting is now installed, and it won’t be long before this new gateway to the airport will be awash in color and just a bit of lighting bling.   |
