Ain Dubai - Durham Marenghi - Lighting Designer

Dubai has a new landmark and, in typical UAE fashion, it’s another record-breaker. Standing at a staggering 250m tall, Ain Dubai is the world’s largest and tallest observation wheel. Located on Bluewaters Island – a feat of engineering in its own right, having been built from reclaimed land off the coast of JBR – Ain Dubai opened its doors to the public to much fanfare on 21 October. The LED lighting schematic for the wheel was designed by Lumitect Ltd which was my Architectural lighting company at that time and took me three years to complete (content shown by others).
