The Cultural Centre Spira

Jönköping, Sweden

During the autumn, Kreativ Teknik completed a project together with Elektrobyrån and Signify at Cultural Centre Spira in Jönköping. The upper parts of the facade received a new lighting design and illumination and were programmed with beautiful scenarios.

 

Cultural Centre Spira is the heart of performing arts in Jönköping – a place where music, theatre, and dance meet. Since its inauguration on November 11, 2011, the house has been filled with life with around 800 concerts, performances, and events every year, arranged by Smålands Musik och Teater. The building was designed by architects Gert Wingårdh and Jonas Edblad and distinguishes itself with its glittering glass facade and undulating shape – a design that inspired the name Spira (Spire). The interior is adorned, among other things, by specially designed lamps by Ingegerd Råman and the artwork Soundflower by Milo Lavén, which welcomes visitors outside the entrance.

"From our side, it has been fantastically fun to get to know the entire team, and the job at Cultural Centre Spira went magically smoothly from start to finish. It's also great that we have already found more work where we have utilized your help, and there will surely be more!"

Customer challenge

Kreativ Teknik received a request from Elektrobyrån to assist with the design/planning, installation, and programming of a completely new lighting scheme for the two undulating upper sections of the building.

Solution

The solution

The light comes from 87 of Signify's linear Color Kinetics ColorGraze fixtures, which are mounted along the bottom edge of the facade. All fixtures have a unique address, which allows us to create movements and shifts in hue along the surface, which in turn makes the building look even more alive.

 

The entire installation is programmed with a DMX system and is controlled using a system from Interactive Technologies. Within this control system, the customer can easily choose between different pre-programmed scenarios from a local panel or via a remote connection.
