Paris Aéroport

Guidelines for lighting, user guidance and ambiance

In association with vogtpartner lighting design engineers and schockguyan architects we drew up guidelines to improve the ambiance at Paris Aéroport.

Primarily advertised as a lighting project, we were able to convince the contest jury with our intuitive customer routing and accompanying measures in zoning, signage, color & materials, as well as furnishings & arrangement. Along the lines of these aspects, we created comprehensive guidelines for open application in future renovation, conversion and new construction projects.

Excerpt from the competition posters: the core concept features a rhythm of calm, distinguishable functional areas along a bright, barrier-free main axis.

Concept-sketch for light guidance and how to handle functional areas: public zone in Terminal 2A, landside.

“The SDAL provides a perception-oriented, holistic view of the space.
It is based on the requirements for optimized light guidance and illumination of the terminals.”
