This museum is one of the most important mineral museum with around 80,000 pieces of minerals collection located in Freiberg, Germany in the old castle, Freundstein, built since the Renessainte period. In 2003, museum is started to construct and will be opened in 2008

Design concept :
We decided to show the minerals in differnet ways depend on the transmission of minerals : opaque, translucent, transparent

Zoning :
devide the exhibition into three areas depends on the difference of transmission :
- Opaque mineral exhibition -1st floor
- Translucent mineral exhibition - 2nd-3rd floor
- Transparent mineral exhibition - 4th-5th floor

How to show the minerals
- Opaque mineral - show the sparkling of minerals by integrated light in the showcase
- Translucent mineral - accent light with medium beam and show the colors by using fibre optic under the minerals
- Transparent mineral - accent light with narrow beam to create the sharp shadow

How to display the minerals

Stadt und Licht workshop

2nd semester workshop
5-8 March 2007
Symposium "Stadt und Licht"
Markt im Licht
Arnsberg-Neheim, Germany

Light Installation














This workshop is the opportunity for MALD students to work with students from other universities, Bauhaus University and TU Ilmenau. And our task is to design the lighting for Church & Market square.

Design concept :
Create the connection between the past and the present

Church represents the past. Lighting the church, we create the sequence of the light intensity by seperate the layers of the building. highlighting most at the top part, the tower, and becoming darker at the lower parts.we also emphasize the important architectural parts, stainedglass window, by glowing light from inside.

Market square represents the present and modern time. We create the cool white light cubes located by following the existing grid floor pattern.These boxes are used as the seats for meeting place, like being in the modern time and looking back to the past.The boxes are adjustable by using the railing system depend on the occasions.

Neuruppin workshop

10-14 December, 2006
Neuruppin, Germany
sponsored by ELDA+ (European designers' association)
Consultant : Prof. Michael Rohde

Light Installation






















This workshop is the chance to work for design concept and light installation in a small city in the north-eastern of Germany, Neuruppin.Our task is to make the design concept and light installation which is devided into 3 parts :
- Gymnasium facade lighting
- Museum facade lighting
- Plaza and pedestrian walk way : linkage between the gymnasium and museum

I participated in the first group, Gymnasium facade lighting. Gymnasium is a very important educational building relating to the history of the city rebuilt period after burning down.This building is situated in the main market square that allow people to see obviously.

Our idea is to enhance the follwing important architectural parts:
- Uplighting the main entrance - HIT floodlight with sculpture lens
- Uplighting the pediments and building base - Linear luminaires (xenon lamp)
- Accent lighting and inside uplighting the bell tower - HIT floodlight/spotlight
- Glowing light from windows - fluorescent luminaires (with amber color filter for some windows) and cover the windows with the translucent papers
- Playing with the rhythm of light and shadow on the walls - spotlight 50W MR16

Mood room : Exhibition hall for Morphosis

Lighting Design (individual project)
Consultant : Prof. Onnen

This mood room is the entrance hall for the exhibition of the selected architect, Morphosis.
Morphosis is a group of architects from America who create the unexpectable architectures all over the worlds.





Design concept :
I picked up the word "unexpectable" to represent Morphosis and designed the lighting that created unexpectable moods in the space.
In the simple long trapzoid-shape room, floor,wall, and ceiling are devided systematically into many triangle white light boxes povided with the scene control system.

The unexpectable moods by lighting scenes
scene1: illusive
At first sight when people enter the room, they recognize a room as a shallow space, and then change to a deeper space

scene2: distorted
When people walk to the middle the room, the light scene changes and makes people perceive the sloped floor and slanted wall and ceiling.

scene3 : realize the real
When people walked deeper in the room, the light scene will change and show the real space which is only the right angle room.

Light Intallation























Theme : Silhouette
Design concept :
1. Silhouette on the windows
The board in the shape of people in Wismar is placed in front of the windows. Controled by a timer, each window is lit in random order. People can see their own silhouette in the window.
2. Play with color shadow
The facade is lit up with white color, using RGB colored light. When people walk pass in front of the facade, they will find their own colored-shadow on the facade.
