HUMBOLDT FORUM

Berlin, Germany
Daylight & Artificial Lighting

Architect: Franco Stella Projektgemeinschaft
Completion year: 2021
Images: Florian Selig

The Humboldt Forum in Berlin is regarded as Germany’s most significant cultural construction project in the coming decades. With the collection of the “Staatliche Museen zu Berlin” (SMB) moving from Berlin-Dahlem, the building’s main part will function as a museum. The lighting design for museums, particularly the daylight illumination in this historical context, has been adapted to meet today’s strict conservation requirements and structural demands. This involved extensive studies on glazing, solar arrangements, and glare protection systems. The art is primarily staged through lighting emitters that ensure minimal energy entry, aligning with modern conservation standards.

HUMBOLDT ACADEMY

Berlin, Germany
Artificial Lighting

Architect: Holzer Kobler Architekturen
Completion year: 2021
Images: Florian Selig

The lighting planning for the Humboldt Academy in the Humboldt Forum follows a holistic design approach that defines an independent design language with efficient, dimmable design elements. Basic design premises are the flexibility of the use of space, the dialogue between architectural and human scale and the consideration of on-site elements in the lighting concept. The room is defined by its dynamic configuration options and the interplay of light and material. The lights are provided in dimmable LED quality, with a colour temperature of 3000K and a colour rendering index of 80 for general lighting.
