Wang Museum is an architectural lighting scheme for a memorial hall dedicated to the Chinese writer Wang Zengqi, built in his hometown of Gaoyou. The lighting recreates the bright and gentle light environment described in his writing. A color temperature of 3000K helps the hall blend into the surrounding traditional historical district. Interior lighting emphasizes the walls, so the indoor light is also perceived from outside. Outdoor lighting shapes reflections on the water. Lamp slots and pipelines were set into the concrete in advance.
