Brown Center at Maryland Institute College of Art

On a hill overlooking Baltimore, this new 61,000 SF modernist facility is home to MICA’s digital arts department.  The building’s all-glass exterior, covered in a dot matrix fritting, lends itself to multiple lighting effects.  TLP’s design makes the glass alternately opaque or transparent.  Working closely with the architects and their in-house lighting designer, TLP lighted the building site, glass facades, interior atrium, galleries; and designed architectural and performance lighting systems for the 550-seat auditorium.  The Brown Center’s crystalline nighttime image is a major presence overlooking the city, a building that has become a prominent icon.
