Mercedes Platz is a new address for concerts, cinema and entertainment and has the highest screen density in Berlin. Screens on facades and media steles can be controlled in a coordinated way and empower a unique open-air media experience. We planned the interplay between all lighting elements on the square and the adjacent facades.

Bebelplatz is one of Berlin’s most important urban squares on the main boulevard Unter den Linden. Framed by historical buildings, such as the State Opera, Cathedral of St. Hedwig, and the Humboldt University, the square is defined at nightfall by
the uniformly lit facades. For this project, we developed a light pole which unites all the necessary modules into one very minimized form.

The developed system for the lighting fixture "ModulLum" offers a variable lighting tool for the illumination of facades, urban squares and streets. The serial product “ModulLum” is the result of the light master plan for the historic district of
Berlin Mitte.

The lighting concept underpins the spatial proportions of the square. The luminaires outline its polygonal shape, showcasing the fountain, the world clock, and the entrances to the underground train.

In 1997, we developed a lighting system for a Litfass pillar that received a patent. Only in 2010 was it possible to begin serial production after advertising systems had improved in terms of quality and increased in price. A 70W, central metal vapor
lamp homogenously lights the placard surfaces.
