Pergamon Museum

In 1997, a daylight and artificial lighting concept was developed for all the rooms with skylights in the Pergamon Museum. For the first time, a computer simulation of the daylight, including even the falling of shadows on the exhibits, was conducted.

Building Type:
Culture +
The effect of light was examined in visualizations that even included the detailed shadows cast by the reliefs.
Area:
Exhibition +
Entrance +
Staircase +
Lighting Technology:
Artificial Light +
The artificial lighting was designed to be entirely above the dust-proof ceiling. The intensity of the direct lighting is influenced by a differentiated density of the glass printing.
Daylight +
Through different degrees of diffusion in the glass roof, light components are directed in a targeted manner onto the Pergamon alter. This was investigated through computer animations which illustrated dynamic diurnal variations.
