LIGHTING DESIGN
INTRODUCTION
5.1 General Lighting Philosophy
The Lighting design approach for Kuwait Medical City will aim to emphasize the character of the landscape by creating elegant and
comforting mood.
Developed and inspired by landscape shapes and forms, lighting design language will be coherent with landscape elements.
Lighting throughout will aim to comply with or exceed current legislation and design guides. All Lamp sources will be LED only to
provide long-life, easy to maintain lighting solutions.
The primary aims can be summarized as follows:
• Deliver high-quality and efficient lighting, which creates an attractive and safe environment for users.
• Create an attractive and vibrant scheme that supports and reflects good quality design principles.
• Illuminate both vertical and horizontal surfaces appropriate to the specific tasks taking place, supplying users with a
comfortable operational environment.
• To provide a robust design both in terms of construction i.e. Vandalism protection and environmental conditions, but also the
design itself needs to remain ‘current’.
• Provide a cost-effective, sustainable, and energy-efficient system, in terms of initial capital costs and continuing operational
use.
• Selecting lamp types for their efficacy, colour rendition, and longevity to provide an efficient lighting solution with a
predictable maintenance regime.
• Utilize lamp types appropriate for the character, and function of each facade while retaining a coherent, rationalized
illumination system in terms of lighting effect, lamp types and equipment installed.
• Design maintainability in mind. Location of light fittings can be accessed easily on-site for future maintenance.

INTRODUCTION
5.2 Lighting Design

Narrative
The Kuwait Medical City streetscape design is intended to
provide a welcoming and lively experience for both residents
and visitors. The landscape design aims to create an attractive
environment that promotes a distinctive identity while
prioritizing accessibility and circulation.
The lighting design for Kuwait Medical City embodies

pleasantness, wellness, and uniqueness, with a crafted
approach that creates an immersive atmosphere conducive
to serene and peaceful experiences. The lighting scheme
seeks to establish visual harmony throughout the city while
also highlighting the hierarchy between different streetscape
typologies. By juxtaposing intensely lit primary roadways
with calmer and more enjoyable secondary and collecting
roadways, the lighting design creates a dramatic experience
that allows people to explore different moods within the same
environment.
The lighting scheme plays with pockets of light, brightness,

and intensity to evoke emotions of comfort, joy, and well-being
throughout the space. This is achieved through careful interplay
between brightness and contrast and symmetrical repetition
of lighting principles. To ensure that pedestrian walkways and
cycling paths are not over-lit or obtrusive, low-output, low-glare
luminaires are strategically positioned, and carefully selected
optics are used to avoid light spills and provide targeted
lighting along the streetscapes and pathways.

A graphic representation is provided to showcase the different types

of trees utilized in each road category. As shown in the illustration,
primary and secondary roads (typology 01 and 02) have a wider
selection of trees, while collective roads (typology 03 and 04) lack any
canopy or palm trees. To minimize the quantity of required light
sources, a selective lighting method will be utilized. Jasmine Tree Singapore Plumeria

LIGHTING DESIGN STRATEGY
5.10 Heat Map
Kuwait Medical City's ROW streetscape is illuminated with a

strategic approach, designed to prioritize road typologies
based on their hierarchy. The primary roads, being the most
significant, boast an increased number of illuminated
streetscape elements such as trees, palms, and benches.
For optimal safety and orientation, intersections and pedestrian

crossings will have the highest perceived illumination, with all
streetscape elements in their close proximity illuminated
accordingly.
In contrast, secondary roads have a more subdued and gentle

illumination level, with fewer streetscape elements such as trees
being illuminated. Collective roads, on the other hand, will be
illuminated with lower intensity than other road types, with
borrowed illumination from streetlights providing the general
ambient illumination in the area.
As for the cycling paths, they are consistently illuminated

throughout the entire site, ensuring adequate and secure
ambient illumination levels for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

5.11 Streetscape Lighting Characteristics
A visual presentation which highlights the diverse lighting principles applied in each streetscape
typology. The graphic illustrates that primary roads (typology 01) adopt a broader range of lighting
principles, enhancing the perceived level of illumination in the area.
Secondary roads have a more subdued atmosphere, owing to the employment of reduced illumination
principles. In contrast, collective roads rely mainly on street pole lights and bike track poles to provide
illumination.

5.12 Illumination Strategy
PALM TREES AT PRIMARY ROADWAY (TYPOLOGY 01)

Palm Trees will be accentuated with 2 numbers of spike-mount
projectors with narrow beam optic, complimenting its distinctive
shape.
TREE AT INTERSECTIONS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSING

To ensure safety and aesthetics, rows of trees located at major
intersections will be illuminated with two spike-mounted
projectors. Similarly, two projectors will be used to highlight trees
near pedestrian crossings along primary and secondary roads,
emphasizing these crucial areas.

August 2023 Page 75
LARGE CANOPY TREES
Spike-mounted projectors with wide beam optics will be employed

to illuminate the large canopy trees situated along primary and
secondary roads. To minimize the number of required tree
projectors, each pair of trees will be illuminated using a twin
adjustable projector, which emphasizes the tree canopies, as
demonstrated in the illustration.
To ensure the light sources are not obstructed by surrounding

shrubbery, the projector will be mounted on a 600 mm spike.
BENCH LIGHTING
Concrete benches along the primary road, emitting a soft
illumination from a linear light concealed at the low level of bench
skirting.

Page 76 August 2023
MAIN IDENTITY SIGNAGE
The main Identity signage is positioned at the entrance to the

medical city and is accentuated by in-ground recessed linear
uplights. Tha light source will appear brightest at the lower section
of the signage wall and gradually tapers off, drawing attention to
the backlit logo at the center.
This strategic arrangement ensure both its visibility and serves to

emphasize the importance of the entrance signage.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING CONSIDERATION
Light pollution / obtrusive light, can create serious physiological

and ecological problems. Inclusive these:
• Sky glow: The brightening of the night sky above our towns
and cities. This is typically found in cites and areas with
excess facade lighting.
• Glare: The uncomfortable brightness of a light source in

contrast to the background. Glare is typically produced by
direct light sources without a diffused element.
• Light trespass: The spilling of light beyond the boundary of

the property on which the light source is located.
• Light ingress: The passage of light into buildings from an

external source(s).
Obtrusive light is a nuisance to both humans and wildlife, it is a

waste of energy and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
The problems of unnecessary, obtrusive light can and should
be reduced or eliminated at the design stage. During the
design phase of a lighting installation, Nulty will always consider
the following measures to reduce the occurrence of obtrusive
light:

INTRODUCTION
6.2 Wayfinding Principles

The primary purpose for any wayfinding system is to not only move users from one
location to another but further to do so in a relaxed and most importantly an
intuitive manner. A variety of tools can be used to accomplish this goal.
Once this core requirement, along with accessibility regulations and human factors
are addressed, the signage family can be designed with the cultural and
environmental settings in mind. Effective design must adhere to a set of principles
that are based on human experiences, and not merely simple forms of graphic
design.
By applying the below set of principles throughout the project, the end result will
be clear, effective communication, that provides information when users need it,
and enhances the overall visitor experience through an intuitive manner.

6.7 Strategic Summary
Without an effective strategy the design risks becomes nothing
more than decoration, which can often leaving users confused
or disoriented. However by applying various strategies that can
be overlaid on the signage or architecture and work in harmony
with each other, the desired outcome of efficient, usable and
welcoming spaces can be achieved. Below is a series of
strategies that will be incorporated into the design.

6.8 Zoning Strategy
Establishing a hierarchy of areas aids in creating a user-friendly
wayfinding system that enables users by providing only
necessary levels of information as required to give confidence
and avoid confusion.
The proposed wayfinding zoning is based on the land-use

proposed in the masterplan and hence will correspond to the
environmental experience of users.

6.11 Destination
Hierarchy
Determining the messaging and hierarchies for all key
wayfinding types, the following diagrams illustrate the
destination and navigation hierarchies within the masterplan.
These are of key importance in wayfinding as they will provide
us with key data to be used in our development.
These can establish the following:

• The key types of wayfinding elements needed for each
network type.
• Defines the user paths and flow which are used for user
journeys and for placement of key wayfinding elements.
• Establishes wayfinding messages for future message
schedules e.g. street names, and destinations.

DESIGN CONCEPT
6.17 Letter Height Vs Viewing Distance
When designing signage, it is important to consider the optimal viewing distance for the intended This ensures that the text is legible and easy to read from the intended viewing distance. It is
audience. As a general rule of thumb, the letter height on a sign should be at least 25mm for every 15m of also important to take into account factors such as the lighting conditions, design aesthetics,
viewing distance. For example, if a sign is meant to be viewed from a distance of 7.5 meters, the minimum vehicle speed and any obstructions that may affect visibility.
letter height should be 25mm.
Basic Formula - Perfect Vision - 25mm = 15m of viewing distance
However, the above is based on ideal conditions and assumes the viewer has 20/20 vision. Therefore to Adjusted Formula - Visually Impaired - 25mm = 7.5m of viewing distance.
consider all users, we use a ratio of 25mm for every 7.5m of viewing distance.
