New York, NY, U.S.A., 9 May 2007 –The 24th Annual IALD International Lighting Design Awards, presented by the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) on 9 May 2007, recognized the the Information Center of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin, Germany, with an Award of Excellence.
This prestigious international design award was presented to principal lighting designer Carla Wilkins of LichtVision GMBH in Berlin, Germany.
The award was issued in the monumental structures/public spaces category in recognition of the aesthetic and technical merits of the project.
This year, over 100 projects were submitted, with 20 international projects receiving awards. Eight of the winning projects recognized were submitted in the monumental structures/public spaces category.
The Information Center is located beneath the Memorial. An exposed concrete ceiling structure mimics the field of concrete above. Balancing the physical experience of the Memorial, the Information Center introduces an intellectural element by describing the context and impact
of the Holocaust. It is designed as a guided tour through exhibition rooms, wherein the visitor experiences a close link between
information and space -- a symbiosis of installation and architecture with light serving as a mediator between content and abstract
form. The complexity of the light atmosphere draws attention while still respecting the powerful and somber contents of the exhibition.
LichtVision GMBH also earned an Award of Merit in this category for its work on the Berlin Main Station.
