Das Lebendige Haus

On behalf of Denkmalneu, the renowned artist SHA. has created the innovative SKY lighting installation for Das Lebendige Haus in Leipzig.

Traxon DOT LED solutions and e:cue lighting control from OSRAM support the impressive display in which sound recordings from the surroundings become perceptible as a lighting and sound installation after being processed and alienated. This creative project has been winning awards ever since – DNA Paris Design Award 2019, LICC London International Creative Competition 2019, European Product Design Award 2019, Iconic Awards: Innovative Architecture 2019 – and was recently nominated for the German Design Award 2020. In the dark, Das Lebendige Haus shines far beyond Augustusplatz into the Leipzig pedestrian precinct. A total of 6,000 acrylic light tubes were used, which creates different atmospheres depending on the color programming. 5,000 of them embellish  the new glass roof space alone, and 1,000 more adorn the stairwells and the lower passage. Innovative LED lighting and control technology from OSRAM has allowed SHA. to create an artistic display which surpasses  the aspect of sheer decoration.
