Architect: Marco Serra Architekt, Basel
Exclusively for bicycles, an underground garage with impressive light was built this summer on the Novartis Campus in Basel.
The extraordinary architectural space was designed by Marco Serra and is bathed in a gentle light via large luminous “wheels” planned by the team from Licht Kunst Licht. The striking graphic gesture of the 16 oversized ring luminaires with a stately diameter of 7m each is the result of a complex custom luminaire development. The concrete’s tolerance represented an especially difficult construction challenge.
