Check out the new LED light strip on the side of the Hyatt Regency hotel at the Bethesda Metro Center. I like it. A rare example of the kind of design touches we were seeing initially in the redevelopment of downtown Bethesda (i.e. the Newlands Building right behind this, light sculpture on Bethesda Crescent building, LED lights on Upstairs at Bethesda Row facade), before things went off-track.
The new trend of dark rooftops and few lighting accents needs to end. Tysons is cleaning our clock not only in the number of jobs and major corporate headquarters, but also design-wise, and in the nighttime skyline department.
Just move to Virginia already, you Confederate shill, and pay your own damned living expenses.
ReplyDeleteSeven photos of a single light system? Just use the GIF (Photo #2), preferably a better centered version, discard the other six, and note the different colors in your text.
ReplyDeleteSince you mentioned nighttime lighting in Tysons, how is the nightlife there?
ReplyDeleteWow those lights are so tacky. Like 80s neon glow lights.
ReplyDeleteIt's like you took one of those neon under-car light kits that are so popular with illegals for their rice rockets, and put it on the side of a building.
ReplyDeleteWow this lighting design is terrible! Think of all the lighting design of the past this reminds you of and are glad we are past.
ReplyDeleteOmg so ugly!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's ugly, I mean the unrenovated Hyatt looked worse!
ReplyDeleteThe Leland Street neighbors will have that shut down soon.
ReplyDeleteThese lights are so distasteful! Seems stuck in the 80s!
ReplyDeleteEw, who would like those neon lights?
ReplyDeleteOr someone stuck in the past.
ReplyDeleteSeriously these lights are in such poor taste!!!!
