Are the lights at night too big and bright across downtown Dallas? Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster and ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº's Jerome Weeks discussed the issue on Think at noon today on ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº-FM, 90.1.
Jerome about new lighting for a downtown landmark: The Bank of America Plaza became an icon because of its green, argon lighting. But in July that glowing outline of the 72-story-tall skyscraper went dark for a major renovation.
When the lights come back on, they’ll be noticeably different.
The Big Green Building will be a bit more "green" – that is, the lighting will be a little more environmentally friendly. LEDs are more efficient than old-style argon tubes, and they use less energy. Plus, they’re brighter.
There’ll be a re-lighting ceremony for the Bank of America building at dusk on Nov. 14.
