Habitat Hotel – Alluring yet green!

James Clar, an interactive lighting designer, is currently working on scaled-down version of an L.E.D mesh structure that will eventually appear around the Habitat Hotel, near Barcelona. Working for experimental company Cloud9, Clar is using his expertise to build a working prototype for a model of the hotel, to be shown in New York.

It is a hotel with a light mesh that wraps the whole building. The light mesh has sensors that will read the daylight sun amplitude and then at night each node will give off color according to how much that node collected sun. Therefore, the mesh reflects the energy levels of each day; it will change over seasons and due to weather. It’s very nice since the mesh itself is raised off the building and forms its own see-through structure. Also, each node is self-contained with it’s own sensor and LEDs, there is no central computer controlling the whole structure.

Solar powered lighting will not only help cutting down the mammoth electricity bills of these hotels, but in return prove beneficial for the mother earth.
