Some structures are designed so they are not just beautiful creations of architecture, but also dynamic and changing entities. One of the ways to achieve this effect is by using light and color. Every night, they transform buildings like the ones you're about to see into unique and exceptionally beautiful structures. Have a look at some of my favorites, and click on the photos to see them after dark...
