    Pulrose Power Station, Isle of Man, UK
    Jonathan Speirs, Iain Ruxton, Sandra Downie & Carrie Donahue Bremner: Speirs and Major Associates, UK

    The newly built gas turbine power station is flanked by a sports centre and major road, which called for lighting to help create a more aesthetic presence. In response, exterior colour-changing luminaires light the flu stack to complement the turbine hall. Internally white lights make the mesh translucent. These lights are programmed to create chases of movement up and around the stack. The completed scheme runs every evening creating a striking nighttime landmark.
