Summary

Along with the renovation of the Planetarium and the Science Hall, we designed the building's 60m-long approach as a "Lighting Milky Way." We also designed a "Lighting Wall" in the open space between the building and the parking lot. The colors of the lightings on the Milky Way and the Wall change according to seasons and times.
We planned to light up the Toyota Industry Culture center, the Toyota Ohashi Bridge, the Toyota Stadium, and the Toyota-shi Station simultaneously with blue lights on the hour every hour, which form the central axis of Toyota city.
