German Maritime Museum

The central “light theme” of the architecture of the Bangert building and the exhibition of the Maritime Museum is daylight and its dynamic change over the course of the day.

One reason for this is the numerous vertical and horizontal openings in the architecture. Daylight can be experienced in all its facets. On the other hand, light at sea plays an important role as an essential component of the weather during navigation.
The change in light during the course of the day means a changing dynamic of the lighting dramaturgy with brighter and darker zones, but also with the deliberate use of infinitely variable white light control (color temperature). In combination with natural light, intelligent lighting control creates color temperature contrasts even during the day, which enhance the sensory experience and can strengthen the scenography to create a sense of identity.
