Commercial Acrylic Apps.

The Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin has a facade of acrylic panelling that allows light to penetrate the interior during the day for a natural illumination and at night the lights glow from the inside. Photo credit: Retinal Fetish

Here is a nice application of acrylic in a commercial facade. Stunning for the colour and we all know the instantly recognisable brand here. Photo credit: Sou

Plastics

11.30.2010 | |


We have seen so many interesting uses of plastics in materials class. Here are a few applications I caught with my own camera (sorry bad lighting, mostly these were taken incognito!)
This is an interesting application of acrylic rods; they are placed in this mirrored large scale lettering and lighted from the inside. The effect is great signage with high impact. The letters fill the entire facade of this window. (Store is LIME in Place Versailles Mall.)
This is an interesting acrylic/lighting combination that are installed throughout the mall at Place Versaileles. It was hard to get a good photo of it but it is quite an eye-catching application. I am new to this area so I am not sure if this is actually a "pre-update" item since the neon look doesn't really carry well in all the areas of the mall. In fact sometimes it just seems completely out of place.
More plastic applications for lighted signage (also Place Versailles mall.)

DIVA! The shocking pink says a LOT!
