阿布扎比大清真寺是一座非常特殊的建筑，特别重视光的象征意义。我们需要为建筑物创造出一个整体照明形象，包括室内和室外。我们的设计对城市具有里程碑意义，展现出文化深厚的意蕴及宗教内涵。伊斯兰历法基于28天的月运周期，因此月亮的圆缺周期成为了照明设计的灵感源泉及统一元素。就像月亮对潮汐的影响一样，我们希望月亮也以相同的方式影响着建筑。

这种想法源于满月给人们留下的诗意印象，随着月运周期的推移，几缕浮云缓缓飘落在圆月前，清真寺也随之变幻。满月时，建筑物笼罩于冷白色的光芒之中，光照映射出其表面的凹凸纹理，随着月亮在周期中渐亏，每两个晚上颜色都会发生变化，灯光逐渐变为蓝色，且愈来愈深。到了第十四个晚上，清真寺被映照在最深的蓝色灯光之中，这象征着黑暗——然而观众却永远无法察觉出建筑颜色的变化。

室内照明使复杂的建筑与室外保持一致，相得益彰。19,000个灯具创造出明亮的空间并突出建筑特色。灯具大多被隐藏起来，被融合至穹窿、壁龛、壁架中，musharabia (有雕刻的木格)背后也隐藏着很多光源，建筑本身看起来宛如自然发光。

The Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi is an extraordinary building that attributes particular symbolic importance to light. We were approached to produce an entire lit vision for the project, inside and out, and the result we delivered provides a huge landmark impact for the city, as well as deep cultural and religious sensitivity.

With the Islamic religious calendar based on the 28-day lunar cycle, we looked to the moon as our source of inspiration, and this became a unifying element in the lighting design. In much the same way as the moon in fl uences the tides, we wanted the moon to shape the experience of the building.

Starting with the poetic impression of a full moon with wisps of cloud moving across its face, as the lunar cycle progresses, so the building also alters in character. Fromthe textured cool white of the full moon, there is a subsequent shift in colour every two evenings, growing gradually bluer as the moon wanes. By the fourteenth evening, the mosque is lit in deepest blue to signify darkness - and yet the viewer is never able to perceive the building changing from one colour to the next.

Internally the lighting lends coherence to the complex architecture. Nineteen thousand luminaires are used to light the space and highlight the special individual features. These are mostly concealed, integrated into coves, niches, ledges and behind musharabia (carved wooden latticework) details, creating the impression that the building itself is glowing with natural luminance.
