The Cairns Institute by Woods Bagot and RPA Architects
Woods Bagot in collaboration with RPA Architects have designed The Cairns Institute in Townsville, Australia.
Description
The Cairns Institute gives concrete expression to James Cook University’s aim to become one of the world’s leading research universities in the tropics. As a repository of regional knowledge and research capacity, the institute is perfectly positioned to make a significant contribution to the development of a sustainable quality of life for tropical communities.
The Woods Bagot design team, in collaboration with RPA Architects, designed a building that represents its place and its context in a new and exciting way. Attracting the best researchers was the central aim of the university, so it was crucial that the proposed building will create an environment that optimises the working experience so people love engaging with the building.
Intrinsic to the design is a celebration of the rainforest setting and enrichment of the place experience. An evolving landscape skin, a ‘trellis’, defines the building, offering aesthetics and sun control, while a variety of micro climate ecologies around the building have been created.
The design assists in minimising running costs for the university whilst contributing to the quality of the environment, in line with the university’s aspirations to achieve a sustainable outcome for the building.
Design: Woods Bagot and RPA Architects

Tangible Light – RIMA Lamp Allows You to Interact with Your Desk Lamp
Rima Lamp features minimalist and clean lines, slender shapes with exquisite materials. It’s a desk lamp that combines smart design and state-of-the art technology, inspired by the idea of tangible interaction. This concept lamp provides you with individual and flexible lighting, there’s no need for conventional on-off switch. You can adjust the position and dimension of the illuminated areas by moving 4 rings stringed to the 90cm long fixtures in horizontal direction.
To turn the LEDs on or off, simply move the ring, it’s as easy as drawing a curtain. This newly developed technology is based on LEDs connected in series which are controlled by a processor. There are optical sensors that detect the position of each ring, the smart processor will limit the power supply to the LEDs located between the 2 rings, in this way, only those LEDs are switched on.
Designer : Matthias Pinkert
You can gradually switch on the entire light by sliding the first ring to the right. When you adjust the second ring, slide it to the right as well, LEDs positioned behind that ring will be switched off. You can continue with the third ring with the same principle. Switching off can be done simply by moving those rings back to their starting position.
Another cool functionality allows you to adjust the light color and intensity as well as direction by rotating the second ring which mounted to basic ring. Rima Lamp uses energy-saving LED technology, therefore, its energy consumption doesn’t exceed 10 watts even when all LEDs are on.
