Impulse Installation Brings “Urban Play” to Montreal

Our sister lighting publication recently gave a Commendable Achievement in the Exhibition Lighting & Temporary Installations of its annual AL Light & Architecture Design Awards to Impulse, an installation in Montreal from Lateral Office with lighting design from CS Design. Writes editorial intern Ayda Ayoubi: “The interactive project, set up on the Place des Festivals, sought to create a space for ‘urban play.’ The seesaws (designed in two lengths: 18 feet and 24 feet) are made of a clear polycarbonate tube, a light diffuser, and an aluminum extrusion profile in which LED strips and speakers are fitted. The seesaws were programmed to react to motion generated by a person, and then respond by emitting sound and light.” Read the full story at Architectural Lighting.
