Building and monument's lighting design in your city
I think the title self-describe what this thread is about.
I had this idea after discovering this "preview pic" of the new lighting scheme of the Sun Life building in Montreal, by Design CS. https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram...D.2" style=""> https://www.instagram.com/p/BNribiXD...esign.lighting |
Thank goodness, no green lights!

Testing for the illumination of Mount Royal for the 375th birthday celebrations of the city (I'm not kidding!)

I think Ottawa may beat any monument in the world in this category with the sound and lights show:

/\ It's meant to be a spectacle for the 375th celebrations, not something permanent. Like fireworks, if you will.

I've amended my post to reflect that. :D

Even the British refer to sound and light as "son et lumière" when speaking in English! |
I know Montreal has a lighting standard for its buildings to follow do any other cities ?

Almost nothing here - and what does exist tends to be simply flood lights at the base pointed up or temporary (i.e. rainbow flag on Confederation Building for Pride Week, elaborate Christmas displays on downtown bars, etc.).
Confederation Building (provincial Legislature) during Pride Week: http://i66.tinypic.com/sc8efc.jpg Colonial Building (former Parliament, currently being restored into a museum of our political history from 1583-1949; but on hold-ish due to our economy; anyhow, example of the flood lights thing). http://i64.tinypic.com/nygqps.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/346vuy1.jpg Oh, and one other. Pics are from when it was still U/C, but the St. John's Convention Centre does the rainbow thing at nights if there's anything on the go. Unlike Confederation Building above, the colours are always moving. http://i68.tinypic.com/34s2fso.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2eg7mep.jpg |

We do have a few fantastic exemples in Canada too, though: The CN tower is great, and so is the stadium in Vancouver. The illumination of Aura's crown in Toronto is also very nice.

In Hamilton there's a group that lights up popular waterfalls

As for monuments, just floodlights. Bowring Park is the best example and it has almost all of our most beloved statues, from the Peter Pan (cast from the same mold as London's) and the Fighting Newfoundlander, as well as the memorial to the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, a few Celtic crosses, etc.
