"Originally, the client wanted simply to change the set of the daily news show from a studio-based set into a newsroom environment set," says Ali Wazani, managing director of Wazani & Associates, an architectural firm responsible for some of the region's top television studio designs.
"Most of today's TV stations, international events and productions base their design on a branding and identity brief. It is the exceptional image that we are all striving to achieve. EvenLED can easily brand large surfaces with dynamic moving backgrounds or generate geometric and non-geometric wall covering patterns - let's call it electronic dynamic wallpaper."
For the Future TV studio Wazani introduced a three-level atrium structure within the closed metal box structure. The ground level housed the main activities: studio and newsroom. The other two levels accommodated ancillary functions such as edit suits, archives and current affairs departments.
"Such a spatial organisation made the internal space feel like a small technological village," Wazani comments. "The materials used were basically steel and glass in different shades and textures. This choice of contemporary materials, coupled with precise LED light technology, enhanced our slick transparent design"
