ORANGE FLOWER KIOSKS, St. Petersburg, Russia
Getting back to the idea of how urban landscapes are changed by spilled light. Here's one of numerous flower shops, belonging to the Orange chain in St. Petersburg. They use a opaque acryllic ceiling with warm fluo tubes as well as some high pressure sodium spotlights (one of the best imaginable light sources for lighting up plants and flowers). Panoramic windows let a passer-by feel the jungle and rain-forest atmosphere from inside. Light produces life and pours it out on the streets.
... also it's location in a park, surrounded by tree's adds to a surreal feeling of a greenhouse where some of the plants escaped when they craved for more space.
