About Nantong Window Munus Primarium: Illuminatio Architectonica

Fenestra Nantongensis est illuminationis architectonicae consilium pro aedificio culturali cum bibliotheca, centro culturali et tabulariis. Illuminatio conceptum aedificii de avibus et mari sequitur. Lampades lineares intra parietem aulaeum plicatum ex aluminio perforato collocantur, ita ut lux per aperturas pennarum similes transeat. Lucernae subterraneae cum temperatura coloris 3000K parietem interiorem aurantium et laquear illustrant. Positiones et anguli lampadum ita computantur ut nulla superficies lucernae ab intus vel foris videatur. Systema regiminis DMX512 mutationem dynamicam frontis permittit.
