LIGHTING PROJECT OF THE RIGA STRADINŠ UNIVERSITY COMPLEX

Riga Stradinš University shines with new colors.

The Neonita.lv company wants to share the good news with you – the city has become brighter!

We are pleased to announce the completion of work on the lighting project for the Riga University complex. Stradiņa, Dzirciema iela 16, Rīgā.

The lighting project is intended to take a fresh look at the architect's original idea.

The complex according to the architectural design of Visvaldis Čikste was built in 1986 and put into operation on September 30, 1987. It includes three educational buildings, a library, an outpatient clinic, and an office building.

With the help of modern solutions in architectural lighting, to emphasize the work of the architect, to show others his key idea “in a new light” - this is the main task that Oleg Slosman, head of the Neonita.lv company, set himself when developing the concept of new lighting for the university.

By using the facade solution of the complex architect as the basis for the light matrix, it was possible to increase the depth of the perceived rhythm and volume in the dark.

Work on the project from idea to implementation took about three years. The successful implementation of the ideas required the development of lighting equipment with special optical properties, which was subsequently manufactured in Latvia and installed on the facades of the complex.

With the help of warm white lamps, arranged in the rhythm of the facade and shining towards each other, light is reflected from the numerous planes of the window openings of the complex and creates attractive light contrasts due to the structure of the facades.

Also, according to the wishes of the university, multi-color RGBW lamps were used on the bay windows of the three tallest buildings of the complex. These lamps are capable of washing the entire surface of bay windows with all possible shades of light, which allows you to create numerous lighting scenarios, including dynamic ones, for events and holidays.

The lighting system is controlled by a computer, which makes it easy to select the desired lighting scenario.

“In the process of testing the lighting of the complex, I paid attention to how numerous passers-by perceive what they see,” says Oleg Slosman. “It was nice to see people getting excited and discussing the innovations they were seeing. I am deeply grateful to my entire team and to all those who made this project possible, especially RSU as the mastermind and driving force behind this project.

I invite everyone to evaluate this type of work with space and share their impressions!”
