BUGA - Federal Garden Show, Potsdam

The German Federal Garden Show (BUGA) took place in 2001 at the 65 hectare-large Volkspark in Potsdam. The mast-mounted luminaires are laced through the landscape like a pearl necklace. The different heights of the lighting heads were made possible by the specially designed installation adapter.

    • Palace of Berlin – Humboldtforum

      Project

      The lighting design firm Lichtvision was commissioned to develop a concept to illuminate the facades of the Humboldt Forum. The result was an intentional lighting of the facades in terms of intensities of illumination and their distribution.
      The lighting design bathes the building in a uniform light. It accentuates the mighty presence of the Royal Palace in the heart of Berlin. The flat evenness of the light without much shadowing places priority on the building's three-dimensionality over its details so that it appears imposing and grand, especially from a distance. The height of the light points is necessary to avoid casting hard shadows and to create a uniform lighting.
      The designers' lighting specifications were based on standard luminaires. Their design then needed to be integrated into the light columns that also illuminated the exterior areas. KARDORFF was commissioned with achieving these two tasks by using one type of light column.
      First, the positions for the light columns were chosen by Kardorff Ingenieure to ensure that the entrances and views of the palace remained unobstructed. The desired light distribution at the defined positions had to be recalculated for the luminaires that can be used in Selux's LIF light column. The LIF light column was custom designed by Kardorff Ingenieure and has highly complex facade modules which can precisely aim individual LED using many separately adjustable deflective mirrors.
      This made it possible to achieve the same lighting effect even with another product and at other positions than Lichtvision had originally designed.
      As a result, the illumination of the square and the facade have been integrated into one luminaire.

    • Heilig-Geist-Passage

      Project

      Following the motto "light attracts people" the DomAquarée passage was shaped more friendly and inviting by installing large pendant luminaires. For additional extraordinary lighting effects cylindrical hanging lamps were designed. By using controllable LED rings inside different light scenarios are possible. These possibilities reach from atmospheric lighting with warm white light in the evening to dynamic, colored setups for special occasions.

    • Market Place Neubrandenburg

      Project

      The market place in Neubrandenburg has always formed the center of this “town of four gates” in the Mecklenburg lake district. The central element of the lighting design is formed by ten meter-high light poles which, in their deliberate proportions, respond to the generous size of the square. Through the light poles, a spatial arrangement was created that gives the square a formal composition.

    • Driving Attraction "Ausfahrt"

      Project

      The new driving attraction offers car buyers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new vehicle and all its technical assistance systems. An impressive construction in the form of a leaf covers the specially designed driving area. Volkswagen customers are advised and attended to in the adjacent service pavilion. The impressive structure was designed by Schlaich Bergermann und Partner from Berlin. Kardorff Ingenieure Lighting Design was responsible for the whole lighting concept.

    • Old Market Square Stralsund

      Project

      The existing wall luminaires on the old market place in Stralsund (townhouses and city hall) were optimized and supplemented. The facade of the city hall was lit with exactitude using projection spotlights (see the project “Stadthaus”) and the church brightened with floodlights.
