Each series of two columns support an autonomous system of alternating photovoltaic panels and a system of plates with bright colored LEDs.<\/p>\n<p>Glowing from light blue to deep red, the LED panels serve the city as a warning mechanism for flood risk and prevention. Ranging from normal risk to heightened risk to evacuation due to imminent threat, Light Guard helps to keep the citizens of Copenhagen safe from rising sea levels.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/LightGuard3.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"Light Guard\" width=\"500\" height=\"348\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3840\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The installation takes advantage of the area in front of the design site while preserving the site itself as a space for various events.
