An energy saving Anolis LED lighting scheme designed by Petr Kolmačka has been installed to highlight the famous City Hall Tower in Ostrava, the third largest city in the Czech Republic and the administrative hub of the Moravian-Silesian region.
The city has a strong commercial heritage based on the heavy industries that grew up around its high quality black coal deposits, discovered in the late 18th century. More recently it has launched a big initiative to clean up the environment and control the many years of accumulated pollution, reinventing itself as the ‘City of Colours’, highlighting its equally rich history as a centre of innovation, creativity and education (as a major university city).
The city’s first civic lighting scheme is part of the process of helping to create a new cultural identity for Ostrava, including a high profile annual arts festival and four leading theatres. Clearly there is plenty of imagination and inspirational thinking for the future with the current local government.
