An Evoque Convertible could be found outside the Central Saint Martins building in Granary Square, King’s Cross last week. As its roof was lowered for the first time, a light projection representing the glow of the summer sun appeared on the exterior of the iconic building.
Twenty projectors were used to create the bright light, which covered an area the size of approximately 10 tennis courts. The projection offered a combined brightness of 400,000 lumens, the equivalent of 40,000 candles.
The reveal also incorporated Granary Square’s water feature, which comprises 1,080 fountain jets and 4,320 individual low energy LEDs. Each jet is individually controlled and lit using a giant pixel map that is designed to invoke the mood of the changing seasons.

The unveiling of the Evoque Convertible marks the start of a new partnership between Land Rover and the Born Summit of Creativity, an event that is set to take place in Courchevel, France in March 2016.
Land Rover and Born, a crowdfunding business aimed at celebrating up-and-coming creative talent, will release a series of short films in the lead up to the event. Each will focus on established creative leaders and look at how they are encouraging emerging creative talent.
The new model was officially unveiled when a video of the event was released yesterday (8 November). The car will be available for purchase in spring 2016.
