Overture Center For The Arts
Madison, WI
Color, light and architecture converge at Overture Center for the Arts, where a central multi-story rotunda glows by day and by night. Its octagonal glass dome draws daylight into the majestic space, while another form of light takes over after dusk – intelligent solid-state illumination from Color Kinetics.

Designed by Cline Bettridge Bernstein, the lighting concept called for four tiers of cove lighting to encircle the rotunda’s balconies, forming concentric rings of illumination. The desire for programmable color and color-changing effects, coupled with the difficult-to-access location, led the design team to choose iColor Cove®, which allows for customizable color without the maintenance requirements of conventional lighting methods. In addition, its controllability allowed for the desired interaction of color with the plaster form of the rotunda’s walls.   Learn more...
