How could lighting enhance the transition, between Enghavevej and The Railway City, for pedestrians and make it more discoverable while promoting the historical heritage?
The final design concept is divided into three main areas: Enghavevej node, the tunnel and Otto Bussesvej node.
The main lighting parameters taken into consideration were the color, height, density and distribution & direction of the light, which have been assigned to each of the luminaire type in accordance to the findings from the analysis, design framework and following design chapters. The Copenhagen Lighting Masterplan was the main source of inspiration for choosing the luminaire types.
