"Craiglinn Underpass, Cumbernauld, Scotland"
“The design demonstrates a great way to take city spaces and turn them into
21st Century places as the colourful lighting transitions completely
transform the atmosphere throughout the day. The LED lighting changes
include orange hues for early sunset, pink hues for late sunset, purple
hues for twilight, and blue hues for the duration of the night and the
stunning environment is completed with starlight effects and a 'river'
of light that is projected onto the ground.” Inhabitat
"North Lanarkshire Council commissioned Bigg Design and Zero-Waste Design to deliver an exciting project that saw the
regeneration of an underpass in Cumbernauld with stunning lighting and
mural designs.
"Working with local school pupils and engaging with members of the community, we
developed a design that transforms the experience of using the
underpass (previously a dark, intimidating area subject to vandalism)
into an inspiring, unique journey that feels bright, airy and welcoming.
"Murals on the underpass walls celebrate scenes from the local landscape of
Cumbernauld and include a mixture of people, parks, wildlife, and
architecture, whilst the LED lighting slowly changes hue over the course
of the night to symbolise the colourful lighting transitions from day
to night to day. A large group of pupils were involved in the creation
of the mural, which has enabled them to have a sense of ownership of the
space that they pass on their daily journey to school.
