Theatre Royal
LED lighting is used to create an animated curtain of light within the portico of the Theatre Royal, both signalling the building's use and creating a dramatic threshold for theatre goers. Artist Simon Watkinson worked with Arup Engineers in developing the reflective PVC canopy set within the coffer space, which heightens the intensity of light.
