The Showcase Partnership is a non-profit organization supported by commercial trade, government agencies and art investment. Founded in 2003. The company is focused on promoting the development of various theaters and exhibition halls on the east side of the Montreal City Center. Until the establishment of the partnership, although each functional site is very close, there is an ambiguous relationship. In order to create a unified and unified character for urban space and to bring it new vitality, the city of Montreal held an interdisciplinary competition in 2005, calling on all parties to make suggestions to help create a cohesive “brand†image. There were five participating groups, and the winner was the concept co-conceived by Integral Ruedi Baur and Integral Jean Beaudoin. They use lighting to illuminate the entire area, making it a common thread throughout the whole, with a tortuous bright band of light along the contours of each field and the streets between them.
While lighting is a major component of this design philosophy, designers have taken other steps to complement it, from permanent installations like signage, signage and graphics systems to art or technical equipment. Temporary facilities, these elements are combined in the overall design to form rhythm and rhythm.
Of the five groups participating, only Axel Morgenthaler is a lighting designer. Although he was not originally a member of the Bauer and Baudan design groups, he was added to the winning team when lighting was identified as one of the key elements of the final project design. His expertise clearly helps the successful implementation of the design concept.
Mogenter is from Switzerland and is currently the chief designer of the lighting design company Photonic Dreams. He has a deep research on dance and theatre lighting design. He has actively participated in art community activities in his early years and has organized collective exhibitions in collaboration with painters and sculptors. His interests range from furniture and industrial design to graphic design. But his favorite art is lighting, whether it is stage lighting design, urban environmental lighting design, or just lighting as a work of art. Of course, his enthusiasm for lighting has also appeared in front of people with his design works. As a recipient of numerous local and international drama, dance, multimedia, art and urban lighting design awards, he is responsible for the lighting design of many high-profile projects, especially in the city he calls “homeâ€.
