We decided then to design the column on 5 parts, the base which were going to have hidden wheels, a hidden « slide up » door and a base which we were going to use to install the PC and controller in.
The second, third and fourth part were going to have flexible LED modules on it, so we had to plan a 10 cm depth to accommodate the power supplies, receiving cards and all the wiring.
The fifth part was the top, we designed it to lodge a very big convex mirror and a brightness sensor.
The Kunsthalle complex on Mannheim’s most beautiful square which has developed over the last century comprises Hermann Billings
art nouveau building, built in 1907, and the Hamburg firm gmp – von Gerkan, Marg and Partners’ Hector Building, completed in 2017. As programmatic museum building concepts, the two architecture styles could not be more different: One is light-flooded, timeless, open, and urbane, the other structurally expressive and imposing. They wanted us to implement and produce a huge (4m tall) movable column in steel with LED flexible and on top a convex mirror. The column was meant to be in the lobby next to the information and ticket booth of the museum, displaying information about the museum. So the column would be one of the first things visitors would see upon arrival.
The following steps took place:
We faced a first failure with the Steel structure while installing it a first time, the structure was not straight, so we did send it back to the factory to reproduce a new one. The second was a success, we did install everything within the steel column, all the wires, the power supplies, receiving cards and the LED modules. After the first configuration, the result was stunning. Well you can imagine a column of 4m height with a diameter of 1,3m displaying a 360 degree 4K video content.
