Munich is the city we live in. Munich inspires us and sometimes we get an innovative idea simply by just by walking though town. So it may happen that we develop on our own initiative high-quality light concepts, which inspire people. One of such ideas was the concept for the worlds biggest four-cylinder-(light)simulation at the BMW Tower in Munich, which won the if Design Award as well as a nomination for the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The light installation 4Z symbolizes the power of the engine, the centerpiece of “Freude am Fahren”. The BMW four-cylinder turns into an over dimensional architectural metaphor. Light – controlled with high precision – simulates the phases of combustion of the four-stroke engine. Discs of light move – it looks as if gigantic cylinder heads get into motion. The colors of each phase of combustion shine above Munich.
The heart of the engine becomes alive. “Freude am Fahren” becomes alive and visible.
