"Tower light, tower bright, will you guide my way tonight?" A three-building project under way in Baku, Azerbaijan, gives a new twist to a familiar lyric and a new look to the Caspian Sea city's skyline.
The Baku night sky first brightened on May 13, when the team flicked the switch on the thousands of red, green and blue LED lights on the nine facades of the three buildings, named the Baku Flame Towers. The lighting system, in the shape of a raging fire, is interlinked and controlled by one source, according to Hill International, the project management consultant.
