Makassar Cathedral: Facade Lighting Design for Sacred Architecture
This video presents facade lighting design for Makassar Cathedral (Gereja Katedral Makassar), exploring the relationship between exterior illumination, architectural character, and the nighttime presence of a place of worship.
The cathedral provides a setting for considering how light can reveal architectural form and detail while respecting the identity of sacred architecture. Facade lighting offers an opportunity to create a welcoming presence and convey a sense of reverence through the building’s exterior expression.
For architects, lighting designers, consultants, church representatives, and facility teams, the video offers a reference for considering the relationship between facade lighting and the experience of a religious building after dark.
Part of the Herwin Gunawan Work video library, this entry connects with ALTA Integra’s human-centered approach to building performance, bringing architectural context, design intent, and human experience into the discussion of lighting design.
