A group of Avant-garde light designers in Melbourne are about to take an apartment tower and transform it into a beautiful canvas that can tell you more about the weather than looking up at the sky . Thirty-five 'fins ' run up and down the 40-story structure that hold 250,000 diffused LED 's . Bruce Ramus , creative director of the project , said every half hour the building will communicate the next day 's weather forecast , while during the remaining time it will be like a 'light house ' communicating the 'feel ' of the weather through light . Scroll down for video . The building will communicate the next day 's weather forecast as well as reflecting the current 'feel ' of the weather . 250,000 LED bulbs are responsible for the flickering lights that can be programmed to look like rain or wind . 'Essentially , if the weather changes , so will the lights , ' he told Daily Mail Australia . After spending eight years living in Melbourne Mr Ramus said he noticed Melburnians had a peculiar obsession with the weather and thought it could be possible to 'bring light to a community ' in a way that articulates what it actually feels like to be there . During the day it will appear to be a normal building but as the sun goes down and the city is plunged into darkness , you will really see the effects of the lights . 'There 's a lot of movement available to this lighting system so if it ever gets windy down in the Docklands , the lights will move directionally with the wind . Every half hour , tomorrows weather forecast will wrap around the building . 'The movement isnt physical but the way we can program the lights means there will be a sense of gentle but apparent movement , ' he said . He explained that by experimenting with the lights programming he can take a cool blue and introduce a shadow that can make it appear as if the building is moving , as rain would . The light show will be based off weather data sent through by the Bureau of Meteorology . Do n't expect the building to look like the weather forecast app on your phone though as Mr Ramus wants the building to echo more than the temperature . 'It 's not necessarily about what the light does but how it makes you feel . ' 'We really want to explore how a cool change feels , or the breaking sun feels , ' he added . Visionary : Mr Ramus wants architecture to reflect nature and humanity instead of the static concrete jungle we see today . Mr Ramus said light is a language everyone can understand because we do n't understand it through our brains , but instead feel and understand it through our bodies . 'When you see a blue light , you might not be able to describe it but you get how it feels . Light is a language we do n't have to think about , ' he added . Mr Ramus said he wanted to bring a feeling of movement that 's engaging so buildings can start to relate to people and reflect humanity . 'You get it out there in nature all the time . There are subtle movements in trees or the ocean . Then when we go to cities , it is just static chunks of concrete and glass . I would prefer they reflect us and the natural elements we are from . ' The Lend Lease building is expected to be completed in early 2017 however Mr Ramus said , if all goes to plan , the lights should be up and running next year .
