Many bridges have become outstanding monuments of architecture and engineering. Often, they are well visible and are visual dominants in the daytime. This impression can be preserved and enhanced in the evening using modern means and lighting techniques. In our time, the most important task is not to highlight a single object in isolation from others but to create a single light-colour environment of a fragment of the urban environment. Moscow is the largest metropolis with a fast pace of life.

Sometimes, city residents lack a sense of unity with nature and spiritual harmony. Therefore, when creating a light model, we connected bridges with natural formations, stones, minerals, crystals and caves. Thus, the interrelation of water-life-nature was based on the new light image.

water is life, life is nature

 

 

The general colour light distribution scheme reflects the change in colours and shades from the outskirts to the centre, from rich purples and turquoises through soothing warm hues to solemn, golden and even red hues in the heart of Moscow. The main emphasis is made on the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky and Kamenny bridges. Their lighting is like an extension of the Kremlin walls and towers, shimmering in gold and red colours like an opal, creating a single light environment in the centre of the capital.
