An almost invisible lighting and information system in the Humboldt Forum brings architecture and content to life through LEDs, translucent concrete and changing wall images that adapt to different uses and times of day.
The wayfinding and information system is both clear and almost invisible. There are no distracting signs or frames. All that is visible is what counts: the information and the architecture of the building. The wall lights up! Light on, light off. Depending on the time of day or user requirements, the information on the walls and in the furniture disappears or changes. This is made possible by perforated acoustic panels and a special with LED panels behind them. The Humboldt Forum’s light signs form surfaces, images and ornaments that recall the past and make the future visible.
