Embraced in Recycled Steel is an architectural lighting design for an office building in Yamaguchi, Japan. Billet-shaped seamless LED fixtures are embedded within steel louvers, creating a rhythm of light across the recycled steel surfaces. Lighting patterns inspired by barcodes and QR codes are placed through the interior and shift in appearance as people move. A control system adjusts brightness in response to daylight conditions. The design highlights the texture of recycled steel while providing comfortable illumination for daily work.
