HOUSE OF THE WORLD’S CULTURES

Berlin, Germany
Artificial Lighting

Architect: FHW Architekten
Completion year: 2007
Images: Roland Wich

The House of the World’s Cultures is a conference and event centre from the 1950‘s. The aim was to bring out the best of the unique architecture and the materials used by an integrated lighting. The landscape was considered in the concept by a subtle accent and water feature lighting. Despite the use of modern technologies, the energy use of the old solution could be reduced by more than 65%.

SHOPPING MALL LILIENCARRÉ

Wiesbaden, Germany
Daylight & Artifical Lighting

Architect: ARGE Kramm & Strigl, Ortner & Ortner Baukunst
Completion year: 2007
Images: Stefan Müller

A skylight floods the mall with daylight while preventing direct sunlight from reaching the interior. A rhythm of diffuse light directed upward partitions the multi-storied interior as downlights brilliantly illuminate corridors and retail space. The play of light and shadow references the buildings architectural form and its materials. Exterior illumination utilises back lighting to emphasise architectural elements, creating a distinctive design that is also effective from afar.

SONY CENTER FORUM ROOF

Berlin, Germany
 Artificial Lighting

Architect: Murphy / Jahn
Artist: Yann Kersalé
Completion year: 2007
Images: Linus Lintner

The central forum of the Sony Center at the Potsdamer Platz, planned by Murphy & Jahn Architects, is traversed by a membrane steel construction. The technical implementation of the forum‘s roof lighting was newly developed. Spotlights light up the roof tangential at nighttime and colour changes within a defined colour space bring the membrane sails to light.

Revision in 2012 not by Lichtvision.

Interior Design Ceiling: Winkens Architekten
Completion year: 2006
Images: Roland Horn

The new Berlin Main Station serves a dual purpose, combining Europe’s largest and most modern rail transportation hub with the facilities of a major shopping center. The lighting design goals were to create a feeling of comfort and safety and to support visual clarity and orientation, with an overall emphasis on system efficiency and maintainability. The lighting of elliptical ceiling cutouts is combined with the functional, linear platform lighting to provide rhythm and structure to the space.
