| Zumtobel to illuminate BMW Museum  Zumtobel, a brand of the Austrian Zumtobel Group, has won a major over EUR 1.5 million order to supply the lighting solution for the new BMW Museum in Munich. The Zumtobel Group's two LED start-ups, Ledon and Lexedis, have been subcontracted to realise the glass façade with LED illumination that forms part of the project and accounts for over half its value. The new BMW Museum opens in the spring of 2008 and the luminaires are to be supplied in the course of the next four months. The "Museum Bowl" designed in 1973 by Austrian architect Karl Schwanzer, is to be extended on three levels by the addition of an adjacent pavilion. The resultant blend of open and closed exhibition spaces in conjunction with a system of ramps will increase the overall display area at the museum from 1,000 to 5,000 square metres. Zumtobel has won the order to illuminate all the exhibits.write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
