Historic Buildings Lighting — Jaffa Street Jerusalem
PRJ-025
HERO · HERITAGE · JERUSALEM, ISRAEL
§ Design note
  1. 01Urban Heritage Sequence. The lighting treats Jaffa Street as a continuous night-time route, connecting individual historic buildings into one coherent urban experience.
  2. 02Architectural Character. Each building receives a specific lighting approach according to its facade, material, ornament, historical role, and position along the street.
  3. 03City Identity. The project strengthens Jerusalem’s evening presence, highlighting heritage architecture as part of the public life, memory, and cultural identity of the city.
§ Technical notes
  1. 01Facade-Specific Lighting. Lighting solutions are adapted from building to building, emphasizing architectural details, facade rhythm, and historic features.
  2. 02Urban Infrastructure Integration. Fixtures are coordinated with building facades, light rail catenary poles, and municipal lighting infrastructure.
  3. 03Glare & Spill Control. Lighting is planned to support pedestrian visibility and heritage visibility while reducing unnecessary glare in the urban street environment.
  4. 04Public Coordination. The project requires coordination with municipal bodies, heritage stakeholders, private property owners, and public infrastructure operators.
