This is a fantastic video directed by Luke Shepard highlighting architecture across Europe. The project is called Nightvision and it "aims to inspire appreciation for these man-made landmarks".
What I particularly like about it though is that every single one of these landmarks use light and shadow in different and really quite innovative ways.
There's up lighting and down lighting, cool and warm lighting and really careful placement to get shadows to work in just the way the artists intended.
There is a lot that can be taken from this video that is applicable to home or commercial lighting schemes, in particular, I found it interesting to note that as a general rule the cool lighting schemes tended to be used for the more modern architecture whereas warmer lighting tones were popular for the more traditional/historical pieces.
If nothing else this is a beautiful video to watch and the music really adds something to it.
