Synopsis

The two authors belong to one of the most renowned offices for daylight and artificial light planning in the German-speaking countries. Amongst their best known lighting projects are the Museums Quarter in Vienna, the ship-building hall in Zurich, the art gallery in Graz and the gas containers in Simmering. Their integrated lighting concepts are derived primarily from the architecture whilst taking into consideration the functional requirements. The development of individual light fittings is also an essential part of creating a successful dialogue between architecture and lighting: minimalist and highly expressive forms with a great degree of technical expertise are characteristic of their light designs. Illustrated throughout, the lighting projects are presented thematically with reference to reduction, presentation, variability, dynamism, representation and experimentation. The particular feature of each lighting concept are highlighted and documented using floor plans, light plans, technical details and light designs.
