Watha T. Daniel - Shaw Neighborhood Library from Architectural Rechord
Today's ArchiPic is the Shaw Neighborhood Library in Washington D.C, and is listed under Architectural Record's "Lighting" tab. With its illuminating glow, the library stands out like a beacon on Rhode Island Avenue. The architects partnered with a lighting firm called MCLA to make their building unique from all the others in Washington. To complete their goal, they brought in a lighting design called the T5. "...they developed an electric lighting system based primarily on the T5 linear fluorescent with a 3500-Kelvin color temperature—the lamp preferred by the client for energy and maintenance efficiency," mentions Architectural Record.
