VW Konzernforum

The VW Autostadt in Wolfsburg is located directly on the Mittellandkanal and parallel to the inter-city express rail line Berlin - Hanover. Based on an artist’s design, Kardorff Ingenieure came up with the technical solution. A drawn curtain of
light opens the way to the entrance and allows for a view into the Autostadt.

    • Gläserne Manufaktur Dresden

      Project

      In Dresden, VW constructs its vehicles in a completely different way: in a production site made of glass visible to all. The light behind the transparent facades puts the production process on stage. Reflectors shine warm-toned, glare-free light
      directly on the high-quality industrial workplaces with studio character and, at the same time, avoid any exterior light emission to protect the adjacent nature park. The light follows the route of the vehicles until handover to the customers. Stage lighting for performances and cultural events complements this
      extraordinary presentation of the automobile.

      Project

      The newest models of the BMW Group are designed at the Research and Innovation Center. Project groups with up to 100 employees work together in flexible, two-storey open rooms. Natural and artificial light interplay optimally in all areas of
      the building. Its external appearance at night has also been taken into account. The desk lamps specially designed for all of the workstations underscore the corporate design.
