Do you know what produces those colors behind the windows to the right?

On this image you can only see artificial light, there isn't any window in there.. The lighting scheme is similar to the ones you can see in [link] and [link] . The architecture behind this project is Rem Koolhaas, and you can get more information about it here [link] . This building is integrated in the structures created when (O)Porto, my hometown, was the european capital of culture in 2001.

Okay, I wasn't quite sure, but those other images help to show exactly what's behind those panes. Still very pleasant to see.

Yep, though it would certainly be alot cooler if it used natural light, though alot harder to control aswell. Also, it wouldn't have anything near that intensity at night, for instance, and that's when the lighting in the building shines. The cool thing about it is that on some weekends, they have an event called Clubbing, where the whole building turns into a huge disco, with alot of concerts, djs, vjs, etc etc.. Kind of cool, if you consider that it's regular musical program is dominated by classical music and some jazz.

That's true, you wouldn't be able to rely on natural lighting at night. It sounds like that building undergoes transformations from day to night and musical genres as well. Have you ever been there on one of those weekends?

Of course! And it's a wild world!
