“An exceptionally beautiful and graceful light sculpture spans the Kalix River. The bridge’s architecture and lighting are meticulously crafted with precision, like a graphic scalpel. During the design process, fixture selection, positions, light distributions, and brightness levels were painstakingly planned using a powerful game engine. The lighting design preserves the landscape’s natural and cultural values, enhancing recreational opportunities along the river after dark. The illumination of the Kalix Bridge is elegant, safe, and embodies the motto ‘less is more.'”
Those were the words from the Jury as this bridge in Kalix was awarded Svenska ljuspriset (Swedish Lighting Design Award) 2024.
