Joost van Santen Light and Daylight Art in Architecture and Sculpture
Amersfoort Railway Station
A glass-applique window is installed at the south facade of the railway station. The sun projects this coloured ellipse onto the hall, moving with time of day and day of year. This moving 'Ellipse of Light' is the essence of the project.

Jan van Belkum architect of the station and Joost van Santen received together the 'Brunel Award' for the railway station in Hilversum the Netherlands for outstanding visual design in public railway transport
