LIGHT/ATMOSPHERE
The Städel Museum’s existing rooms are marked by their abundance of natural light. The new space will be fitted with 195 circular skylights varying between 1.5 and 2.5 meters in their circumference, lending the space a similar bright, airy feel to the “old” rooms. The openings will also include a shading system to avert direct sunlight, while a blackout feature affords the possibility of blocking out daylight completely. The ambient lighting will be integrated into the skylights and individual outlets will guarantee a great deal of flexibility to illuminate individual exhibits.
