Central Power Plant, Dresden

Lighting concept for the cultural area in the former central power plant

Ruairí O’Brien’s concept is based on the master plan for the central power plant. The special architecture and character of the former power plant, which is now an important cultural location of Dresden, are supported by the lighting, amongst other things, with unique one-of-a-kind luminaires. The concept, which meets the requirements of general technical lighting as well as those of historic preservation, also meets the artistic demands placed on the site by its use as an important central cultural location in Dresden.
