FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HIGH-TECH BRINGS BUILDING FACADES INTO THE 21ST CENTURY Finnish Vitrulux Oy. unveils new technology set to to make self-illuminated facades common place

A new blend of art and technology used to light glass-facade buildings is transforming city’s night looks. Over the last year two new buildings in St-Petersburg, Russia have come to life — housing offices by day, and dazzling imagination by night. The buildings’ facades are a mix of glass windows and light-emitting panels which at night cover faces of the buildings with vivid images and rich textures.

Thanks to recent advances in technology and design, self-illuminating facade systems have finally become practical both in terms of longevity and environmental friendliness. This new patented technology delivers a lighting solution compatible with modern construction technologies and minimal construction overhead. Vitrulux Oy., the Finnish company responsible for the two installations in St-Petersburg, has recently launched a website (www.vitrulux.com) which showcases these projects and provides technical background information.

Vitrulux Oy specializes in design and installation of complex and high-tech façade lighting systems for buildings and other urban structures. Our company builds on serious innovative decisions.

Private home with new interior design, Sweden

Our friend and talented Finnish photographer Uzi Varon launched his personal exhibition SUOMALAISIA on 07.08.08 at gallery of the International Cultural Centre Caisa in Helsinki.

The photographs Uzi showing this time, has been taken in frame of the book project in same name, organised by Finnish publisher of educational books Lasten Keskus and that will planned to be published on this fall.

The book tells stories of immigrants that come to live in Finland from various countries, their thoughts about difficulties they meet in their home countries and about their integration into the Finnish community.

Photographs are taken with one strict conception in mind: each person is depicted with background which he decided to represent his home country, in his national clothes and in clothes he usually wear in his everyday life in Finland.

Exhibition: Uzi Varon Wed 6.8.2008 , 10.00 - Thu 28.8.2008 , 18.00
