Galaxy Park, Tianjin
 
Tianjin is the third largest city in China, located on the Hai He river to the southwest of Beijing it has a long, often turbulent history, as major port city and trading centre.

Full Moon Tower in Galaxy Park was a gift from the people of Japan to the City of Tianjin. The park, which is an extremely popular destination at all times of day, is well used by local residents to practice such diverse activities as T'ai Chi, Chinese Opera or to fly elaborate kites. At the centre of the park is Full Moon Tower, this 52 metre high tower sits within a reflection pool facing the new municipal museum. Built in 2003 the tower was originally lit with white cold cathode, following a review by the Tianjin City Image and Environmental Commission a decision was made to improve the night image of the park and to change the tower's lighting.

Beijing Teon Scenik Technologies asked Vancouver based TIR Systems to propose a new design that could be animated, dynamic and help the city realise their night time vision of the park.

Ptarmigan was appointed by TIR to design, supply, install and programme the control system as well as commission the fixtures.

In 2006 Ptarmigan Consulting was named, along with Darren Luce and Teon Scenik, as recipients of the Paul Waterbury Award for Outdoor Lighting Design by the judges of the International Illumination Design Awards. These prestigious awards are organised by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
