RGB LED Facade at Brand New National Lbrary in Belarus
In 2006, Minsk received a new architectural symbol – a brand new building to house the National Library of Belarus. The twenty-three storey library is designed in the form of a rhombicuboctahedron (diamond) and symbolizes the enormous value of knowledge that mankind has stored in books.
“The authors suggested hiding the light sources behind the glass to create an illusion of a giant color display,” continues Kramarenko. “A total of 4646 color-changing LED fixtures were installed all around the building, effectively creating a monitor with 25×25 meter sides and 62 meters in diameter.
“As a result, spectators are able to observe a fantastic show with incredible dynamic plots from hundreds of meters away. It is an extraordinary creative venue for lighting designers.”
