25.08.2006 as well as on 27/02/2008 I have a report on the Sheikh Zayed Mosque published. After over ten years of construction was one of the largest mosques in the world (a part of the environment other than work) recently completed the installation of outdoor lighting, and now shines in all its splendor and beauty.
As in a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights, the Great Mosque towers over Abu Dhabi, and is regarded as a new landmark of the city. It emphasizes the ornate architecture of the custom-made lighting.
The basic idea of this light was this: Just as the moon affects the tides, to the impressive exterior lighting, the the building fluent in white or blue light appears, the moon phases and thus be adapted to the Islamic calendar. The building at the full moon shines in pristine white, but with a structure of slowly drifting clouds. When the moon is decreasing in its 28-day cycle, the light equivalent to an increasing number of converts to blue to symbolize the growing darkness. On 14 Days, finally lit the mosque in the deepest blue.
This is done by means of a control system which controls the various lighting scenarios automatically according to the lunar object. And the projected clouds moving in the direction of Mecca, can in speed can be regulated.
all facades of the building, including the domes and minarets are illuminated by a total of 1200 Projectors headlights and realize the sensitive and intense illumination of every detail to perfection. In the pictures, the mosque at new moon and full moon is visible.
