The World Trade Center is situated within the Brigade Gateway project, located at Rajaji-nagar-Malleswaram Junction in North Banga-lore, India and designed by HOK, New York. The masterplan for this 44-acre complex, as well as the design for the building. The WTC at Brigade Gateway is the tallest commercial building in Bangalore and is the first fully privately-owned installation of a WTC in India. Bangalore is responsible for a large portion of Indias software exports and other public-sector heavy industries and is proud to see its growth manifest in this new building.
A layered approach was used to develop the lighting on the site in order to create a visual hierarchy. The World Trade Center building is the fulcrum of the site, where the light concentrates and shimmers. The light skips over the rooftops of residences and public pools, as itemanates from the WTC. The lighting scheme is crucial in establishing a sense of place and enabling intuitive navigation throughout the expansive 44-acre site. The dramatic forms of the buildings are highlighted, and public spaces are given special emphasis through the lighting masterplan. The central plaza is surrounded by commercial spaces and incorporates dramatic water features. From the WTC itself to the surrounding facilities, creative solutions keep each space fresh and unique and enliven public spaces in the evening. The WTC lighting scheme accents the architectural form by rendering edges in the light. Vertical edges reach skyward with points of light tracing the buildings soaring perspective from the ground-up. The crown receives a rhythm of linear lights to create a special accent, and the signage is brightly illuminated to read from a distance.
