Punta della Dogana Centre of Contemporary Art – Venice, Italy

Interior and exterior lighting design, engineering, site supervision w/ Tadao Ando

The old warehouses of Venice’s customs building have been transformed into the largest exhibition centre of the Pinault Foundation and Tadao Ando restored and modified the lofts in order to create a space able to house the artworks of the Pinault Collection.
The subject of flexibility, so important when lighting a museum, was broached both from the mounting location point of view and from the perspective of the different light distributions of the luminaries. ……
Museums for contemporary art that regularly put on rotating exhibitions require flexible lighting installations that support different lighting tools and offer a variety of mounting locations. Lighting effects may range from dramatic with highlights on the artworks to a wide, spacious impression using soft light for the entire ambience, all conveniently controlled with electronic lighting management. Every luminaire is connected directly or indirectly to a central control unit which, for its part, can be reconfigured and expanded.
