Picture of the project 'Contour'
Year:1999-2001
Location:Herrnhut, new repository building for the archive of the Moravian Brethren
Planning:Furkert Architects and Engineers, Dresden
Photography:Mario Pfeifer
Light art consultation:Arend Zwicker
The new repository building was encased in Corten-panels and the contours were traced with light lines, which highlight the consequential, cuboidal shape, especially at night. In this case, optical fibers were used, that contrast the light solutions of the adjacent buildings, in particular the glass staircase.
