At the Pavilion entrance, the Theatre features
a dynamic lighting scheme achieved with high-performance LED fixtures capable
of delivering customizable scenes in both white and coloured light. Digitally
controlled via Casambi, the system adapts seamlessly to the Pavilion’s events
and narrative moments, turning architecture into a performance in itself.
To light up the façade of the arena-shaped theatre, 19
units of Capital 100 RGB+W 4000K fixtures with custom ultra-wide optics create
vibrant, programmable effects - from the Italian flag to rainbow hues and
multicoloured transitions. Complementing the scenography, 20 Capital 100 B
fixtures in 3000K white light, installed in the portico, highlight the
theatre’s red wall through variations in light intensity. This play of
monochromatic lighting, with its pulsating effect, brings the center of the
pavilion to life, enhancing the architectural volumes and creating refined
contrasts between light and shadow.
On the rooftop, the Italian Garden comes to
life through a carefully choreographed lighting design. 50 spotlights and 800 metres
of linear LED strips illuminate the vegetation, walking paths, and art
installations, creating an immersive atmosphere visible even from Expo’s iconic
circular Ring. 300 metres of custom Top Bend LED strips enhance the curves of
the garden, while 500 meters of Side Bend LED strips, both in 3000K white
light, illuminate the Quercus
phillyreoides hedge, accentuating the sinuous beauty of the labyrinth. The small trees on the rooftop are highlighted by a
series of 3000K Moon Wall fixtures, all DALI-controlled to ensure maximum
flexibility and the ability to create various lighting scenarios, adapting the
illumination to the Pavilion’s needs.
The overall illumination reflects the concept of the
Italian Pavilion, transforming it into a true attraction that shines in vibrant
colour hues and soft white shades, perfectly aligned with the spirit of
innovation and sustainability that animates Osaka 2025.
The Expo will run until mid-October, offering
countless opportunities to witness this impressive installation evolve and to
share new moments, insights, and images as the Pavilion’s story continues to
unfold.
