Two years ago, when the wind tower was first completed, the facility went viral in the city due to its unique design and nighttime beauty.
The wind tower is known as the Jasper Spiral. When lit up at night, its logo resembles a passionate night elf. During the day, it resembles a tranquil snail girl reading in a field.
The designer installed a lighting fixture on top of the wind tower. The lighting facility will emit a striking beam through the night and serve as a beacon for people far away.
Floodlights have been installed on both sides of the top lighting fixture to create a low-profile and strong background light, forming a visual contrast with the outer ribbon design.
The Muse Design Awards is an influential international design award, and its jury this year consists of renowned designers from 23 countries who are expected to honor distinguished designers in architecture, interior design, landscaping, and lighting.
