18 Degrees is delighted to be the specialist lighting designers for the Piercy&Co Supermodels exhibition, which opens on 25 November at Regent Quarter, Kings Cross. The carefully curated exhibition installs eight softly-lit, moving and animated models that offer a behind the scenes look into the architectural design process, set against the raw backdrop of the Jahn Court building.

“Celebrating the art of architectural model-making, and bringing its creations to life through movement, sound, scent and film, Piercy & Company aims to underline with this show the importance of engaging more senses than just vision (and in particular, still imagery), when exploring an architectural concept. Touch, hearing, smell, and various techniques addressed to seeing, such as mechanical automata, projection and specially designed light (composed by lighting studio 18 Degrees with lighting equipment courtesy of Reggiani), are all employed in an effort to draw the visitor into magical worlds of architectural thinking.”
