Course: Outdoor Space
When light opens up pathways, the museum becomes part of the night. It guides visitors, showcases façades, sculptures, and entrances, while remaining considerate of nature and the night sky. The result is outdoor lighting that provides orientation, creates atmosphere, and makes culture visible.
Outdoor lighting makes museums legible at night: it guides visitors along pathways, across squares, and over façades, stages sculptures, reliefs, and architecture with precision, and strengthens the cultural brand.
Dark-sky-compliant lighting design with robust, well-shielded luminaires for path lighting, striking façade lighting, and lighting accents on artworks in the open air ensures a high degree of visual comfort and prevents light pollution.

Overall concept and differentiated lighting
Lighting design for museum pathways, entrances, and Dark Sky areas provides orientation and atmosphere while respecting nature in outdoor spaces.
Staging the façade means staging the architecture
Façade lighting stages the building, its materiality, its nocturnal impact, and its branding. It provides orientation, points the way to the event, and has a striking effect from afar.
Art in open spaces
Illuminating art outdoors. Sculptures, wall-mounted art, and spectral quality ensure a reliable effect at night.
