Chengdu Donganhu Sports Park, as the main venue of the coming FISU World University Games, features one stadium and three sports halls. The three sports hall buildings and interiors are designed by GMP Architects. The ensemble comprises a group of buildings around a central plaza, consisting of a sports hall with 18,000 seats, a multifunctional hall for culture, leisure, and popular sports, as well as an indoor pool complex with two 50-meter swimming pools.

The sports park will serve as public sports facilities, open for the public for leisure and purposes after the games finish in 2022. Lichtvision has been appointed as lead lighting design consultant, responsible for the overall architecture, interior and landscape design in this project.

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 design 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.

COVESTRO HEADQUARTERS

Leverkusen, Germany
Artificial Lighting

Client: Covestro
Architect: HENN
Interior Designer: Kinzo
Completion year: 2021
Images: Covestro

The Covestro headquarters form the core of the new corporate campus. The open floor plan enables flexible collaborative work. For this purpose, Kinzo designed colourful and inviting spaces. Lounge areas surround the work areas for over 700 employees. The central air space with a big skylight is the architectural focal point.
The surrounding light lines accentuate the geometric shape of the air space. Downlights illuminate the circulation areas and combine the colourful theme worlds of Kinzo with their own decorative lighting solutions. The entire lighting design was created as a BIM process with visualization and collision checking, quantity and cost determination and the creation of plan sets.
