WE-EF After Dark Product Parties

Highlights from the VIC & NSW After Dark Product Parties.

In 2018 WE-EF and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) launched the After Dark nation-wide competition, celebrating Australia’s best-lit landscape projects.

Expanding the competition’s reach and continuing the tradition started with the Black Book launches, WE-EF has again brought together lighting and architecture professionals in Melbourne and Sydney.

Under the theme Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent each event was headlined by a project presentation of an After Dark 2018 competition finalist. The market-leading FLC200 LED projector series, winner of the German Innovation Award 2018, showcased the latest optical innovations from WE-EF. The interactive display demonstrated how they could be used to illuminate various textures and surfaces.

My Future Street

A Video Summary of an Exceptional Project.

The Future Street Project took over the Alfred Street in Circular Quay, Sydney 12-15th October as part of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) 2017 Festival.

The Future Street was set up as a four-day activation, changing the way people used the street and educating them on the technologies of the future. It conceptually visualised how our streets of the future may look, and possibly will need to look in response to introduction of autonomous vehicles, smart city technology and urban landscape imperatives. The installation designed by Place Design Group included Complete Street, Green Street and Today Street and explored the possibilities of dedicating more space to people, cycling and public transport rather than cars to use. The unconventional design of the Future Street showed how innovative ideas around landscape, infrastructure and technology could make our cities, suburbs and towns more liveable, productive and sustainable.

During the Future Street WE-EF, one of the project contributors and the principal corporate partner of AILA, interviewed visitors on their opinions and feedback – the results are presented in a video summary, called My Future Street.

Adelaide Oval Development

Given the Adelaide Oval has enjoyed a proud history as one of Australia’s premier sporting and entertainment venues for more than 140 years, the team managing its $535 million redevelopment was aware that it needed to create a venue for the future.

Derek Broome, an Associate in Aurecon’s Adelaide office – the firm responsible for the lighting and electrical engineering services – described Adelaide Oval as “one of the most important buildings and pieces of social infrastructure in South Australia”.

Major construction works commenced in the first quarter of 2012 and finished in 2014. The project transformed the previous ageing venue into a state-of-the-art 53,500-seat stadium, with the effect of uniting the people of South Australia and creating vibrancy in the city of Adelaide.

The scope of this project means numerous WE-EF products were installed throughout the site to perform different functions. However, there are four that stand out relative to functionality and design: the DAC240 surface mounted exterior downlight; the VFL540 LED street and area lighting luminaire; the STO259 steplight; and the colour-changing FLC100 series LED/RGB luminaire.
