BAUHAUS MUSEUM DESSAU

Dessau, Germany
Artificial Lighting

Client: Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau 
Architect: addenda architects
Completion year: 2019

The lighting design creates a serial, industrial, flexible linear basic structure in the area of the ceiling with a classic lighting strip system, which allows for intake of a wide variety of lighting components as well as electrical components. The minimization of the stylistic devices of lighting technology puts emphasis on the space and forms the stage for the manifold use of the newly created Bauhaus space. The general light works with the democratic-diffused light. The exhibition design in the collection area works in the staged light-directed light.

The ground floor with the temporary exhibition aims at opening up technically and spatially. The staging of art gives the viewer space to classify the object in a local context. The visual relationship with the city and the park is integrated into the presentation. The Bauhaus is not just building and art history but is calibrated in the now.

LIT Awards 2021: Honorable Mention

Architect: kadawittfeldarchitektur
Exhibition Design: Holzer Kobler Architekturen
Completion year: 2015

Located in a scenic park on the hillside of a vineyard close to the city centre of Kassel, the new exhibition building blends gently into the landscape. The building intensifies the characteristic atmosphere of this UNESCO-world heritage site by becoming a walkable sculpture and resonating the topography of the site.
The purpose is to engage the visitors with the exhibition through giving space to intellectual and emotional nuances, reflecting the complexity of the German language and honouring their distinguished fairy tale collection of the Brothers Grimm. The lighting softly enhances the shape of the architecture and immerses the surrounding in a marvellous ambiance, all while echoing its inner structure and gently bringing the invaluable substance of Germany’s heritage to life.

The new fashion exhibition is to be entered through a tunnel which allows the adaptation of the visitor’s eye on the 50lx conservation level. The large-scaled cabinets with their impressive glass front and the uniform-coloured surfaces are designed for the optimised presentation of the fashion mannequins. The lighting elements are hidden well and defining the space in a perfect manner.
The lighting components are a linear and diffuse wall wash and backlight luminaire, a linear and indirect cove lighting for the inscriptions and a ceiling channel with a row of adjustable fibre optic spots as the main exhibit illumination element. All lighting components guarantee a very good colour rendering with a CRI over 90.
