AKBANK CVLIVRE AND ARIS CENIRI_, ISIANBUL / III LIGHT FOR ART AND CULTURE Our lives are enriched by art. Through art we expand our horizons and enter new worlds. That is why buildings designed for art and culture are at the centre of public interest. The architecture and type of lighting used in these spaces have a far-reaching influence on their identity. In a museum space, daylight and artificial light are of fundamental importance because they guide people emotionally. The lighting makes it possible to illuminate all the facets of the artwork and to structure exhibitions. ARCHAEOLOGICAL...

The diversity of light Light in Art and Culture Use of daylight Intelligently used daylight makes first-class architecture stand out and enhances any building. Daylight is about more than just achieving a “feel-good” ambience, it can also help save energy by reducing the amount of artificial light used to a bare minimum. Besides excellent lighting quality, conservation aspects, in particular, must not be overlooked in buildings for art and culture. Intelligent lighting control systems are indispensable in this respect. They make it possible to precisely determine the amount and intensity of...

Creating accents In the case of lighting for art and culture, effective but gentle accent lighting which does not produce damaging UV/IR radiation is especially important. Thanks to their compact size, LED spotlights and fibre optic products allow pinpoint accent lighting and three-dimensional modelling – they can be placed closer to exhibits without disrupting the overall visual look and without producing damaging thermal radiation. Even fine details come to the fore, and shadows cast by details create an impression of three-dimensionality – excitement is guaranteed. Friedenstein Castle,...

Saving energy – an art in itself Wilhelm Hack Museum After its comprehensive renovation, the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen has turned into a paragon of energy efficiency. The museum’s energy costs have been slashed by as much as 70 %. Depending on lighting conditions and requirements, the lighting can now be controlled using scenarios; each luminaire can also be dimmed individually. This ensures optimal illumination of exhibits and also ensures that extremely old, precious objects are protected from heat and UV radiation. Ambient lighting is provided by wide-angle luminaires offering...

Intelligently linked-up daylight and artificial light Weishaupt Art Gallery Construction of the impressive new Weishaupt Art Gallery building marked the successful completion of the city centre redevelopment project. When it came to architectural choices, client Siegfried Weishaupt felt that it was important that art and not architecture remained the focus of attention. The whole city is delighted with the building. At the opening ceremony for the new building, the mayor of Ulm referred to it as “an auspicious occasion for the city”. A cross-section of the Weishaupt family’s collection is...
