    LED Architecture

    Check this shit out:

    Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are reinventing the look and feel of skylines, bridges, facades and other architectural surfaces around the globe. The light bulb is being unscrewed by energy-efficient LEDs that are both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. The $10.2 billion industry is growing to provide new design options for architects and planners.

    This Barcelona office, designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel, brings color 142 meters into city skyline. A total of 4,500 L3 RGB lights were installed to illuminate the 32 floors of offices in the Agbar tower. The lighting system, which contains 4,500 L3 RGB lights, is controlled from a single computer.

          Über!
          Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

              LED's are all the rage these days.

              They're currently marching to take over the Christmas light market. They were everywhere last holiday season, and I imagine we'll see even more of them this year.

                Makes sense.....they are cheaper, last longer, use less power, etc. etc. etc.

                Can't go wrong....

                  I'm a sucker for cyberpunk. I'm having wet dreams with female replicants built for pleasure just by looking at that building.

                  How weird is THAT?
