The Star Performing Arts Centre & Star Vista-LEDinside

The Star Performing Arts Centre & Star Vista

The multipurpose complex features a 5000 seat auditorium above and a shopping mall below.

RGB floodlights wash the outer skin of the auditorium while 6km of Ø14mm side glow optical fibers highlight the curves in cool white.

The 5000 seat auditorium has a strategic composition of the warm lighting at floor levels against the blue / cool lighting in the ceiling.

Minimum lighting creates a comfortable contrast in the shopping mall.

The external corridors connecting through the retail and F&B are lit with glare-less downlights with linear spread lens.

The underside of the auditorium is brightly lit up to provide soft reflected lighting to the floors below.

Playful interactive lighting to the fountain in the plaza changes color at regular durations.

Energy efficient fluorescent and metal halide lamps are used for meeting the tight budget, while LEDs are extensively used for ease of maintenance and for achieving important lighting details.

Collaborated by architectural studio Aedas and lighting design studio Lighting Planners Associates Inc. (LPA), the futuristic complex, which located at the heart of Vista Exchange, Bouna Vista, Singapore, comprises of cultural, civic and retail purposes to provide citizen splendid experiences on entertainment and shopping. The center of this huge building is The Star Theater offering 5,000 plus seats for musical, drama and dancing performances. Out of the auditorium, it surrounds the retail space that spirals inwards and marks the entrance. This complex is basically designed in an ambition to challenge site topography as it combines – or blurs –the cultural and retail spaces in an open, outdoor amphitheater called “The Star Terrace.”
