The world’s tallest self-supporting standing lightingstructures at the height of 634m, the Tokyo Skytree’s lighting is inspired by Mount Fuji retaining snow on its crest and
its gradual blend into the earth. Two lighting themes based on Tokyo’s aesthetic spirits
“Iki” (sophisticated & dynamic) and “Miyabi” (gracefulness) appear alternately every night.
“Internally lighting a project of this scale and form factor is a challenge that was overcome by the designers of this project,” one judge stated. “With so many building facades being lit in a way that might become dated or passé, this design appears to be subtle yet stunning at the same time.”
The design team focused on Japanese-style design and minimizing power consumption by applying light and shadow and using “Wa (Japanese) color” of blue and purple. All light sources are LED.
