Washington Air-Force Memorial

Located in Washington D.C., (USA), the masterpiece of the memorial will consists into three giant stainless steel spires (200 ft, 250ft, 300ft) that are illuminated with a soft gradiation of light.

A first phase of my work consisted into producing illustrations of various scenarios for the lighting concept of the spires.

The second phase was more technically oriented: lighting requirements called for the creation of a linear gragation of light that goes from 15fc at the base of the spire, to 5fc in the center to 15fc again at the top.

A complete aiming diagram was produced for the spires after having conducted precise lighting analysis studies performed with custom designed tools.
