PLOT magazine issue #3
PLOT#3 delivers insight into ILLUMINATED ILLUSIONS – those realities, which can only be generated through light. We show how light installations influence the architectural space, present current research results of LED-ColourLab as well as a stage set doing without real actors, and dare a step into the virtual (brand) environments of 55DSL. Additionally, we bring light into the darkness at a fashion show of a special kind and illuminate the foundations of a successful illusion by means of the perception psychology in the essay by Prof. Felix A. Wichmann.

Lead by Asa Bruno, the new architectural department of Arad’s office played with new construction techniques and materials, notably an innovative coating for Cor-Ten steel.
