Lifting a sunken myth.
Triggering genuine emotions, we wanted to captivate visitors and provoke intense awareness like an excellent play. Our aim was to convey the fate of the ship and its passengers as well as the hybris that led to the demise of both.
The exhibition translated the Titanic myth into subtly staged spatial images. In contrast to a didactic approach, we developed an associative concept that was open to multifaceted interpretations. We envisioned a tour with a sequence of themes and atmospheres in the sense of a drama. The choreography of spaces and choreographed order of the then unique character of the Titanic was following the ships life-line from construction to the wreckage and her ongoing (never sunken) myth. ©URB

The storytelling and dramaturgy is based on the quoting the passengers messages and reports only. Expedition Titanic successfully opened up the fusion of museological and scenographical concepts. It was perceived as “one of the earliest scenographically conducted exhibitions”, just due to theatrical effects of using dynamic lighting, sound and the dramaturgical order of theme rooms. Expedition Titanic became a blueprint for contemporary scenography.

From a communist memorial to a forum for next generation Europeans 
The specific character of the unique and significant concrete sculpture on a peak of the central Bulgarian mountain ridge and the effect of its picturesque nature in the Shipka Buzludzha National Park Museum, fueled the motivation to considering what is the most suitable reuse of the building. The conversion is an attempt not to suppress the communist heritage, but to dedicate this extraordinary piece of architecture to the next and after next generation of Europeans. This concept-study in progress will explore the various ways in which this exceptional building can be staged. By respectfully preserving its unique mosaics and subtly transforming it into a public event and exhibition space.
The concept study is currently being conducted for the Buzludzha Project Foundation in collaboration with E-House Architects and with the support of various international NGOs. It is financially funded by the Getty Foundation.

The worldwide largest museum of Egyptian art and culture.
A dream for every scenographer: To stage ancient Egyptian culture once in a lifetime and even more, to be allowed to design the worldwide largest museum of Egyptian art and culture.
About 2.5 km away, but within sight of the Pyramids of Giza, the new Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s largest archaeological museum, spreads out over 90,000 sqm. About 40,000 sqm are dedicated to the exhibition staging all 32 Dynasties. The Tut-anch-amun Gallery and the Grand Stairs alone account for about 10,000m2. In the TUT Gallery, all 5,500 objects found in the burial chamber, of only 35m2 in size, are on display for the first time. Probably the biggest challenge was to stage the objects on a human scale in the hangar-sized halls (200m long, 25m wide and 11-15m high). For this, the concept has foreseen a slightly raised floor-like platform, Tut’s ribbon of life (“The Flow of Life”), on which the objects are staged to tell Tut’s story, from his birth, through death and embalming, life in the afterlife and the discovery of the burial chamber in the Valley of the Kings, by Howard Carter. Above this, a plafond floats at a height of about 4m, symbolizing “The Path of the Sun” – thus creating a kind of open space within space on a human scale, giving the mostly small-scale objects a foothold in the huge halls. Special highlights will be the interactive installations such as the HKJM“Mummy-scan” or the “Digital Shrine”, with which visitors can explore TUT’s digital mummy or decipher the hieroglyphs of the shrines – visitors can thus walk exploratively in the footsteps of Egyptian history. ©ATB|URB

The fascination of the gross of most of the objects is, that they carry their own script, but in a mostly not readable language. To make these information accessible on demand and to make the objects talk was both, a wish and challenge, a promise and fulfillment.

Inauguration of the national archaeology in the new Landesmuseum of Switzerland
The new permanent exhibition of the Landesmuseum collection showcases 1,300 objects of Helvetian archaeology on 500 sqm. The exhibition establishes three approaches to the past: ‘Homo’, ‘Natura’ and ‘Terra’. The central exhibition space ‘Homo’ offers a chronological overview of 100,000 years of human history. Artefacts from the Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages are placed together in showcases to form strong narrative portrayals of different epochs. Visitors can further explore each object and access more sophisticated information on demand by using movable scanners. ‘Natura’ discusses the human impact on nature as well as the interaction between humankind and the environment. A large-scale animated drawing projected onto the back wall brings the Swiss landscape into the museum. Visitors are taken into the nature of prehistoric times – an experience that is scenically enriched by their interaction with the natural history exhibits and the possibility to trigger specific elements in the landscape animation via hands-on stations.
The exhibition space ‘Terra’ shows the references between the findings and the location. A grid-like Swiss landscape, a delicate sculpture of more than 3,000 aluminium strips hanging from the ceiling, seems to hover in space. A light choreography brings the orthographic model to life and illustrates the ongoing passage of time in a poetic manner. ©ATB|URB

From Expo-Pavilion to the first science centre for renewable energies.
Anyone who strives for 100% sustainability when designing an Expo pavilion should also consider it’s afterlife. How to recycle architecture with a temporary use like the Cyclebowl? After investigating different options, we got in touch with the O.VISION team that envisioned a new science park at a former plant for steel production in Oberhausen – the perfect location for our pavilion.
In collaboration with engineers, scientists and research labs like the Fraunhofer Institute, we developed this new hybrid of a science museum and science labs, named: INNOVARIUM. We oriented our ideas around the central theme of renewable energies and decided to align our concept with the elements air, water, fire and earth: a ventarium, an experimental wind tower, a flower-shaped heliostat covered by solar panels, an Aqua Helix for sewage water recycling and a terrarium as an urban garden. We wanted visitors to experience the power of the sun and the wind, the fragile system of our earth and the potential of water.

As an up-to-date research centre, the Innovarium also was supposed to provided space for professional laboratories for scholars from science institutes and companies. This program funded by trusts and sponsoring organisations would have covered the entire expenses and operating costs of the IINNOVARIUM. Our innovative concept of a self-supporting biotectual organism was possibly years ahead of its time. ©URB | Raimund Docmac | ATB

We experience horizontally, remember vertically and reflect and contextualize diagonally.
The initial concept behind the architecture was Karl Schwanzer´s idea of the continuation of the street in the enclosed space. In this sense we used the complex ramp construction as a metaphor for mobility and motion, the essence of the BMW-Slogan, Sheer Driving Pleasure“ (Freude am Fahren) for the routing of the exhibition. We created a street-like walkway that guides visitors through the different floors of the exhibition bodies. On their way, they should cross and experience the ‘Central Space’ multiple times embraced by a impressive ‘Mediatecture’, a subtly blends a 740m2 spatial LED-screen with an architecture organized in seven thematically staged bodies. Through the use of this sophisticated spatial screen technology, the exhibition space seems to be in motion, communicating with the visitors reactively. ©ATB|URB

Another highlight is the BMW-sculpture: a computer controlled kinetic installation of 714 aluminium balls, that can choreograph the shapes of BMW chassis into vector points.

Myth, history and the art of distilling.
The variegated 1800m2 exhibition of The Macallan Visitor Center, addresses all the senses. It leads through the impressive new production hall (Rogers Stirk Harbour architects) and offers immersive thematic installations. The authenticity of the location, the long distilling experience and the perfect maturation of single malt whiskies are expressed multisensorically over the entire parcours. Aftre a 400m long route through the distillery´s three thematic pavilions (box in the box installations) await the visitors with narrative spaces and uniquely composed choreographies that derived from and feature the production process of Macallan´s renowed whiskies. ©ATB|URB

An atmospheric interaction of the daylight exhibition with the architecture and the impressive surrounding landscape. A combination of product and production plant, of making-off and showroom.

Energy-Field of blades of light, swaying in the wind.
In contrast to designing a conventional, static building, we created an ‘Energy Field’ resembling a paddy field swaying in the wind. A number of 480 fibre-glass blades – 18 metres high and lit inside by integrated LED pixels – were designed to change intensity, colour and motion of the light in two different modes. The 15-minute light choreography in the active mode was pre-programmed. During the 5-minute interactive mode people could activate different light impulses by touching the blades. One person could only trigger a small light effect, whereas two people or more could illuminate the whole field. The centrally positioned, star-shaped and fully mirrored pavilion faded away in it´s own reflection within the surrounding blades. In it´s heart a 360° panoramic projection on a 133qm screen with an aesthetic animation-movie was featuring Korean coast- and sea-live completely generated from light-lines. © ATB | URB | Raimund Docmac | Dirk Schubert | Michel Casertano

The only Pavilion at the Expo Yeosu, which didn´t look like a building but a sculpture like an energy-field of light-blades in motion – according to the client´s slogan: “I am your Energy”. It was acknowledge as the most attractive pavilion of the entire Expo – the meeting and shooting point of the Expo.

200 years of Southwest German history.
The structure of the museum is split in two major areas: the chronological and the thematical parcours. The chronological parcours spans the period from the Napoleonic decade to Europe as we know it today. An interactive map, the first one of its kind, on the floor of the museum’s entrance area provides an overview of how the Southwest of Germany was politically reallocated during Napoleon’s reign. The first floor displays, among other periods, a brave interpretation of the two world wars drastically staged with footage from both ‘war machineries’. The second floor is dedicated to local characteristics such as the Black Forest, the economic diversity of the region, developments in science and migrant biographies. Epilogue to the exhibition is the Baden-Württemberg lounge: A 360 ̊ projection allows visitors to enjoy Baden-Württemberg’s beautiful natural landscape from a helicopter perspective and the rich cultural diversity. Independent from the historic significance, the overall visual design of the museum and its spatial installations intend to reflect the spirit and narrative of the single objects. Instead of providing an incomplete chronology, the scenographic parcours is based on the concept of a “Bedeutungschronologie” (‘content-based chronology’) to let the visitors experience historical contexts based on the focus of the museum`s collection. It is amazing and satisfying to see that – after 20 years – the spatial images’ (Raumbilder) power is still impressive. ©URB|ATB

THAT’S OPERA, Brussels BE [Bertelsmann AG, Ricordi & C. SpA] – Temporary Exhibition
When Ricordi, one of the most famous music publishing companies, celebrated its 200th anniversary, the media company Bertelsmann decided to make Archivio Ricordi’s rich collection of Italian opera accessible to the general public. Most of the original exhibits, handwritten scores, drawings, sketches and letters had never been on display or outside Italy before.
The choreography of the exhibition followed the successive creative process of composing an opera from the script till the rise of the curtain: the creation of the libretto and the score (partitura), development of the stage setting (scenografia), voices and costumes (voci e costumi) including the final performance on stage (rappresentazione). In this order, visitors experienced the fascinating world of the opera in spatial installations and at interactive media stations. As an example, at an accessible orchestra pit, featuring an interactive installation of scores (partitura), visitors read and followed a partitura. By synchronising image and sound perfectly, we wanted them to immerse themselves in the dazzling displays of the scores.
‘Rappresentazione‘, at the end of the visitor routing, featured a projection of Verdi’s Aida filmed at the Stuttgart State Opera.

This spatial installation became the perfect opportunity to translate a live performance into a museum setting without losing its unique character ©ATB|URB

»OSKAR SCHLEMMERS TRIADIC BALLET – OR HOW TO BRING ALIVE COSTUMES TO PERFORM«


Performance within the permanent exhibition
Within the scope of the jubilee exhibition on Oskar Schlemmer, the Eric Gauthier Dance Company staged a dance performance at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. We were asked to create the corresponding spatial concept. The main idea was to lead the visitor through the building along eight dance performance stations. Schlemmeresque light stripes were the connecting element transforming the Staatsgalerie into temporary ‘Schlemmer rooms’ for the duration of the performance. It was intended that the overall exhibition was to be opened by Eric Gauthier as Schlemmer accompanied by three of his dancers in an impressive, room-sized dance performance located in one of the lecture halls. From here, visitors were guided up the stairs from station to station, from room to room, from performance to performance by stripes of lights. The final station consisted of a re-enactment of the ‘Triadisches Ballet’ by professional dancers, which was supposed to take place in a room completely striped with lights. © URB | ATB | Laura Knüsel

Temporary exhibitions (interventions) within permanent exhibitions draw new attention to the established exposition, including local and repeat visitors. They offer the chance for a new perspective on a known constellation.

Pavilion at the arteplage Biel/Bienne
Individual and collective border experiences. Prohibitions, limits, taboos, borders! The Swiss border cantons jointly shed light on borders from a social, psychological, cultural and ethnic perspective. Personal border crossings and individual border experiences, their collective effects, from violence in marriage to klooning, were themes that cannot be portrayed by conventional means. Through a strongly translational staging in the centre of the pavilion and surrounding radio play cabinets, access to these complex border experiences was achieved. ©ATB|URB

The attempt to attract an audience obviously seeking for amusement to a rather complex an depressive content and at the same time mesmerize the visitors for socially fringe groups at the edge of the society was a frightening challenge. At the end the Pavilion was perceived as one of the four most sophisticated of the entire EXPO02 (Hochpaterre).

Scenography – Synergy between object, recipient and space.
Who are We? Where are We from? Where are We Going? These unusual curatorial questions for an archaeological collection were the original impetus for this project. They initiated the conceptual idea of an accessible archaeological excavation field, which became the feature installation and representative of the overall theme for the permanent exhibition.
A chronological, elevated path leads visitors through 250,000 years of Westphalian history. ‘Theme Cubes’ were positioned strategically and with regard to the historic context to convey time-spanning topics such as the scull-fragments of the Neanderthal man and Homo Sapiens from the same excavation site or the forced conversion to Christianity. The perforated ‘Museum wall’ around the exhibition serves as a window and connection to the outer world. It contextualised locally within wider world history in a parallel manner. Since its opening, the museum has been recognized as an outstanding contemporary concept and benchmark example of a synergy between object, recipient and space. ©URB|ATB

This project is known as one of the first integrative scenography combining and staging the four museum parametres at the same time: collecting (excavation), conserving (reconstruction) researching (archaeologist at work) and conveying (recontextualisation) in a highly explorative way.

POLARIS – Climate Change Observatory
Initiated by the Brussels-based Polar Foundation (Alain Hubert, Gigi F.D. Amin), POLARIS the Climate Change Observatory was planned as a world research centre with a multimedia, interactive exhibition. Here people would have been encouraged to critically reflect on their relationship with the environment. The building was designed as a modular, energy- efficient glass and steel structure and a smart facade with an innovative energy membrane. It was envisioned as a prototype for other smaller satellite pavilions placed around the world. The Concept has been originally developed for Brussels and Cape Town – the gateway to Antarctica. The unique design proposed a real iceberg, a walk-in globe and an ice core combining a highly recognisable architecture and an interactive and participatory exhibition parcours. ©URB | Raimund Docmac | ATB

It would have been the first exhibition building and international research centre to feature the Arctic and Antarctic climate zones and their importance for the world`s climate. It also was intended to be a zero-emission and energy-neutral building.

Textile – and Industry history in a highly participative way.
At the former location of a spinning mill in Augsburg, TIM presents the history of Bavarian textile production and it`s socio-historic context. The exhibition showcases more than 1,000 objects. The worldwide unique collection of pattern books of the former New Augsburg Cotton Factory is the core treasure of the museum. This unique selection comprises more than 600 books with about a million patterns from over three centuries. They are staged as the central backbone of the visitors routing. Three oversized figurines, the so-called ‘Graces’, refer to specific aspects of the fabrics emphasizing the haptic quality as well as the process of printing and tailoring. Digital pattern books with an interactive sewing pattern interface enable visitors to design a dress in real time projected onto the surface of the turning figurine. Thus, the infinite richness of the patterns becomes interactively accessible, and young designers from all over Europe travel to Augsburg to design on site inspired by the unique setting. ©ATB|URB

The interactive digital pattern-book offers unique access to a large number of patterns. It allows to design with the historic patterns in real-time, while they were projected onto the slowly turning 3-dimensional figurines. This installation became fashionable for young fashion-designers and worthwhile to travel to Augsburg for inspiration. In 2011, TIM won the Luigi Micheletti Award for innovative industrial museums.

Information Centre of the European Parliament
The concept of the international competition was to open up the Parlamentarium by revealing both, the history of 60 years European Union as well as the function and practice of the European Parliament – in a manner that is empowering and emotional. And the challenge was to convert a former parking deck in the basement to a exhibition space and to stage there a highly complex, dry and sophisticated content. The heart of the exhibition is entitled ‘United in Diversity’, a dynamic, interactive multimedia displays, which work like a virtual magnifying glass, taking visitors on a journey to explore the EU without borders. Flanked by two hemispheres staging “ Daily Life”, interviews from citizens from all over Europe and “How the EP works”, which introduces the visitors to a legislative process by personal voting. ©ATB|URB

The Visitor Centre of the European Parliament was supposed to communicate in all 24 EU member languages and four sign languages. Each visitor receives a personal media guide that addresses information on demand in his or her mother-tongue reactively.

The Magic Box
The scenic composition, the movement and synchronisation of images as well as the installation of a 48 channel sound space created a holistic and mezmerising spatial experience. The precise and flawless programming of the single screens seemed to blast the inherent form of the cube and created a perfect visual and immersive experience. From an elevated glass bridge, visitors forgot about physical restrictions and true dimensions by diving into the imagery of the virtual space: The imagined space literally replaced the actual physical space. ©ATB|URB

The Magic Box was hosting the firstof its kind 720° cubic cinema. The highly complex central cube was powered by 17 million pixel spread over 6 screens covering a cube of 15x15x13m, creating a total immersive feeling for ca. 350 visitors at the same time.

The Birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach
The new permanent exhibition embraces the emotional, mental, intellectual, as well as the musical potentials in the work of Johann Sebastian Bach. Apart from the equipment of biographical, historical and musical knowledge, the visitor will gain the experience of Bach’s working in a sensual way. The highlight of the exhibition is the so called »Walk-in Composition« placed in the center of the new museum building: it is a projection space with three precious exhibits which initiate an illusionistic and immersive media performance. ©ATB|URB

The visitor dives into the musical world of Johann Sebastian Bach. A variety of Bach`s compositions performed on authentic organs also played by Bach were captured by Marc Tamschick from unseen perspectives like the keys and foot-paddels of the organs, enhancing the unique performances to provoke goos-skin by the visitors.Bach introvinously.

Redesign of the historic Trading Hall
The submission to redesign the Main Trading Hall of the Deutsche Börse AG in Frankfurt was a great chance to expose our work to a wider audience. After all, the trade floor of the German stock exchange, ‘Das Parkett’, is known as the display window of the company Deutsche Börse AG. Considering its use and function, this space is practically the ‘carte de visite’, a visual representative. The significance of this setting required sensitive changes, for example in the treatment and refurbishment of the legendary electronic flipchart board and the overall organisation of the space. Further changes affected the layout and atmospheric conditions: The transformation plan featured new ergonomic circular desks for the traders, enhanced acoustics and a new dynamic lighting concept to improve the overall atmosphere in the windowless hall. ©ATB|URB

A harmonic feeling in the space for both traders and visitors was achieved.
The refurbishment was so successful that the German Stock Exchange has become attractive also for events after office hours.

People in their Worlds
A selection of 2,000 exhibits from cultures all around the world provides an authentic experience of life in other societies. In a dynamic sequence of individually designed thematic rooms on three floors, visitors explore nine universal themes about mankind in unexpected and enlightening ways such as living environments, religion or social status. The overall scenographic concept provides each theme room with its own unique atmosphere and spatial image: The setting formed by media, lighting and graphics intertwined in a coherent narrative setting allows visitors to experience the contexts intuitively. ©ATB|URB

Probably the first Ethnological Museum, which was not organized according to the provenience of their objects but staged thematically based on curatorial concept of “Kulturvergleich”. A cross cultural approach, which allows visitors and objects from all culturs to meet on eye-level and similar cultural aspects like housing, social status or burial rites. Beyond the pure aesthetic of the objects, smart showcases with integrated information panels allow the visitors to retrieve “information on demand”, where, when and how much they want.

Univers of Particles
How can you stage science without being a scientist? How can you exhibit the unexhibitable? The challenge in designing CERN’s new visitor centre, the „Globe of Science and Innovation“, was to create access to content that is very abstract and difficult to access. The exhibition places the particle collision in real time at the centre of the spatial narrative. Visitors are given virtual access to the hidden reality in real time. The highlight of the staged free-flow exhibition is a multimedia, dynamic spatial staging that turns the big bang theory into a tangible phenomenon. ©ATB|URB

Innovative globe-shaped showcases offer interactively access to inaccessible sectors of the collider and magnet area. Visitors may navigate web-cams 100m below surface to explore the laboratories there. Meanwhile other department opened satellite centers which allow insight e.g. to the control room of the collider or a virtual journey via projection mapping to the inside of the body of the 1950ies first magnet.

African Pavilion
In order to truly represent the variety of nations, their culture and their landscapes we created a narrative facade that worked like a membrane between the inside and outside during the day and at night. The intention was to convey the content from inside out. 73,500 swinging, translucent and mirroring tiles were installed to depict wind gusts reminiscent of clouds moving over the facade during the day. From dawn to dusk, the tiles were lit from behind and turned the facade into a 280 m long and 7 m high screen. The huge display showed larger-than-life native animals such as zebras, giraffes and elephants passing by as well as native inhabitants of Africa performing ritual dances.
©ATB|URB

The one of a kind façade was one of the rare examples of a media façade also functioning in day(light) – during the day moved by the gust of wind, painting “clouds “ onto the façade – during the night authentic and regional African motives like landscapes flora and fauna and patterns were moving over the pavilion, impressively visible also from the distance.

The walk-in film
The Theme Parc Pavilion Environment became an oversized stage, an abstract film set and a surreal environment, conceived and directed by moving images flanking the 150x 50 exhibition hall. The scenography, organised according to dramaturgical film editing templates, could be experienced as a walk-in film. It was structured in 5 zones: the water corridors (prologue), the forest, the farmland, the cities and the plaza (epilogue). All materials used were 100% natural, like soap, starch, wood grass, etc. and recyclable. Already then, themes like sustainable production, fair trading and low and alternative energy consumption were staged. ©URB|ATB

The entire theme-parc concept by François Confino, designed by international renowned archictects, designers and artists, like Jaen Nouvelle, Rajeev Sethi, Toyo Ito, the ZKM and others was an anticipation of sustainability, energy saving and a change of perspective in terms of alternative role models of living together as an early form of “rurbanism”.

Usages du temps demain – 50 jardins (et plus…) pour le futur du travail et de la vie.
A collaboration between Atelier Oï (CH), Integral Ruedi Baur (FR), Tamschick Media & Space (DE),
STUDIO UWE BRUECKNER (DE).
Our Concept for the Swiss National Exhibition of 2027 is based on hypotheses about the future of life and work, which are given form and space in the „avant-gardens“.
The Svizra27 will not be a national exhibition but an international experiment: In the Avant-Gardens the future of work is not on display but on trial. We balance along the ridge of work and life and declare time to be our universally valid currency. A train connects all the different locations as driving job-center: It distributes the visitors as mobile manpower across the different avant-gardes and gives the country a collective re- and upskilling. Visitors are invited to spend hours, days and weeks, to work for a vision, to gain new perspectives, to decide how they want to invest their time. For the future of work, in Switzerland and the world. ©SUB | atelier oï | Integral Ruedi Baur| Tamschick Media & Space

A unique proposal to set a whole country into an experimental mode, where time becomes our currency and work an investment in the future of all.

Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum | Collection
The collection of the Swiss National Museum contains more than 30 historical and historicist rooms that are part of the original holdings of the National Museum in Zurich. The rooms themselves are the exhibits – which were somehow longing to get a voice. Former owners have their say and portrayed contemporaries tell of events (audio) that are said to have taken place there and in the context of the time. On 2,500 m2, more than 7,000 exhibits are staged in a self-explanatory and re-contextualizing way, thus providing an eloquent overview of Swiss art and crafts from the past millennium. All design interventions are discreet, restrainedly minimalist and show maximum respect for the historical spaces. ©ATB | URB



The exhibition makes objects and historical rooms talk via audio-plays and spatial projections.

Inspired by Wagner’s quote „Here time becomes space“ (Parsifal), the theme of time can be experienced in a new way in the premises of the former watchmaking school. The sequence of history rooms and time rooms offers the visitor a „clocked“ course. In the history rooms, daylight rooms, the history of Glashütte watchmaking from 1845 onwards is told. The dark theatrical staged time rooms interrupt the time continuum of the history. In them, a special aspect of time or time measurement is illuminated in greater detail and staged as an eventful excursion through the media. ©ATB|URB

Swisscom Box
The Swisscom.box, a pavilion designed to be all about communication: communication between the visitors and communication between the pavilion and the visitors, all based on the message “You cannot not communicate”. The visitor routing inside was established as an internal circular system of ramps, which were to cross through the ‘box’ multiple times. Staged as an interactive, humorous game of communication, the ramps were to take visitors through twelve accessible spatial installations full of surprises, how tricky communication could be. Highlight and climax of the parcours would have been the facade of the cube, which was planned to feature a semi- transparent multimedia membrane. A game on the visitors’ smartphones had been designed to decipher the pavilion’s architecture from the inside to the outside: to change its transparency revealing the true inner secrets of the pavilion. Eventually the pavilion’s facade would become completely transparent. ©ATB|URB

Paradise on Earth
According to the tempation in three acts, this intriguing space was organised in different zones: The pavilion as a paradise on earth wanted to encourage visitors to change and influence the look of the interior, also expressed to the exterior, making a contribution to their own health at the same time. The pneumatic, inter- and reactive constructions using water or air cushions could have been installed to translate visitors‘ actions. The innovative concept also included different gardens: the ‚Herb Farden‘ for relaxation, the ‚Garden of Security‘ for meditation, the ‚Garden of Desires‘ for stimulation and the ‚Garden of Tempation‘. At the end, visitors would have had the chance to ask essential questions and receive answers at the ‚Tree of Knowledge‘. ©ATB|URB

The feasibility study for the PBO envisaged the transformation of an old steelworks into a world-class „Future Park“. Our task was to focus on the cultural buildings of the theme park: INNOVARIUM, TRANSPARENT MAN with the permanent exhibition ‚Man – Body, Knowledge, Health‘ and STEELWORKS. The exhibition building ‚The Glass Man‘ (Hegger & Hegger Architects), inspired by Henry Moore’s ‚Reclining Woman‘, was dedicated to the human species from evolution to physiognomy and health. It would have offered 10,000 m² of permanent exhibition space on four levels with numerous interactive and reactive installations. The holistic, large-scale concept of a sustainable future (health) park was far more advanced than similar projects of today. © URB | Raimund Docmac | ATB

Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang
Based upon our design philosophy, we approach commercial-oriented museum projects with the same sophisticated respect as historic and cultural exhibitions.When we designed Korea’s largest Car Culture Experience Park for the Hyundai Motor Company, our intention was to let visitors actively explore and interactively discover the whole contemporary premium car manufacturing process. The starting point of this journey is a display of actual Hyundai vehicles, going backwards from the single production and research steps to the first design concept. On their fascinating journey through the exhibition, visitors get the chance to activate robots to assemble and paint a car on demand at the ‘Plant’ section where industrial robots show how Hyundai cars are manufactured. As a part of the Innovation’ area, containing five theme spaces, the impressive multi-media sound chamber lets the visitors experience the work of a Hyundai car sound designer. The highlight of the thematic route is an impressive kinetic sculpture, scenographically staged, visualising the Hyundai design philosophy: ‚Creating Design from Movement’. 1,411 aluminium rods are moving continously and finally forming the design language of Hyundai vehicles. ©ATB|URB


The Hyundai Motorstudio represents a groundbreaking multimedia, kinetic and interactive approach putting the visitors‘ immersive experience in the centre of scenographic spaces. It can be seen as a reference to the future of the IT age..

Sentir
This spectacular project was initiated by two Sevillian Flamenco Enthusiasts to feature Flamenco on a worldwide touring stage. In the manner of a journey, the concept for this pavilion embraced Andalusian culture in an immersive way. 2,000 years of history were to be translated into a Flamenco musical and a scenographic choreography – with the four- storey pavilion itself as the protagonist. We wanted visitors to see Sentir Andalucia as a cultural event ready to be promoted internationally. The unrealised concept included an impressive Flamenco show that would slowly capture the entire pavilion and make the whole structure vibrate in the rhythm of the music. The impressive facade, consisting of 700 programmed dynamic doors, would have oscillated with the rhythmic beat. ©URB | Raimund Docmac | ATB (Sketches)

The Jump
Ready to Race: The ‚World of KTM‘ is the brand environment of the world-famous sports motorcycles in Mattighofen (A). A sleek racing track leans into the new ellipsoid building. It guides visitors along innovations, history and products, as well as introducing the people behind the brand. The main subject focuses on the theme of the company’s racing spirit, from which the form and material vocabulary of the exhibition is derived. Along the topics of „sportiness“, „competition“, „quality“ and „racing“, the visitor can experience the meaning of the corporate color „orange“, as a metaphor for the pole position. ©ATB|URB

Architecture in motion
The Panasonic’s biannual trade fair booth presented the company’s diverse product lines and visualised the brand identity in a grand symbolic gesture. The space was designed to promote the potential of the products through their use and application on site.
52 high-end video beamers from the first digital product line were placed to project onto an overm 300 m long and around 4 m high M bius strip. The huge projections of PR images promoting the brand turned the space into a monumental scenic environment. The different cinematographic effects had a direct impact on the viewers and their experience. Visitors were manipulated in the way they moved within the space and perceived the environment. The motion pictures defined the actual space and triggered imaginations of another imagined threedimensional space at the same time. Architecture was set in motion. In return, architecture displayed on the screens turned the medium film into a physical space. Visitors were overwhelmed and expressed, they were wondering how these visual effects had been achieved – which happened to be the best self-promotion of the companies products. The visitors immersed themselves in a fictional dematerialised world of moving images. This project is an early example of a spatial narrative in form of a motion image installation. It turned out to be one of our very successful attempts to design based on the specific qualities of the product itself.

The SMAC
TheState Museum of Archaeology Chemnitz was opened in the former Schocken department stores‘. The famous Mendelsohn building was renovated in accordance with the preservation order and adapted for museum purposes. In terms of content, the three-storey permanent exhibition spans an arc from prehistory and early history to Saxon regional history. The disciplines of archaeology and history are vividly linked. The time-dynamic Saxony model, which opens the exhibition and connects the
three exhibition levels vertically, represents the state of Saxony as a three-dimensional landscape. Media-based model parts of the state can be moved to the individual floors and form a visual context to the themes of the respective level. The kinetic Saxony model is the central highlight of the museum. Interactive touchscreens on the ground floor invite visitors to virtually explore present-day Saxony. Projected maps with various contents can be transferred from the monitors to an extruded, 6.50-metre-long relief model. ©ATB|URB
