JAC studios has designed a permanent exhibition for the new Museum of Copenhagen and introduces a poetic multimedia model of Copenhagen made entirely from HIMACS solid surface material.
\nThe Copenhagen Panorama is an expressive universe that talks to all the senses. A universe where the city\u2019s heartbeat and life unfolds through laser projections, light, and animations, as well as through a dynamic sound image of a day\u2019s 24 hours\u2019 activities in Copenhagen.
\nSurrounded by the city\u2019s panoramic horizon, visitors can gather around the elaborate elliptical model of the Copenhagen city central as it looked in 2020.
\nLike a never-ending sunset
\nThe back wall of the Museum of Copenhagen offers an impressive backdrop to the miniature model of the city. The panoramic view was milled by YOHO fabricators into the HIMACS material, used here in the translucent Opal shade. There are several levels of milling, which are backlit at different intensities giving an inspiring scene behind the model city.
\nThe model allows for exploration, and an element of surprise of the unknown, as well as opportunities to recognise the buildings and city squares that make Copenhagen the city we know. With the use of an interactive interface, specific attractions can be activated to guide people who know the city, or to help orientate visitors when they walk out of the museum.
\nThanks to its non-porous, fire resistant and extremely hygienic surface that is resistant over time to abrasion or friction, the polished appearance of HIMACS makes it perfect for bearing the full weight of the exhibition, without suffering any kind of damage or imperfection. In addition, because it is highly thermoformable, this material can be moulded into any shape, endowing any project that utilises it with energy and flow. Likewise, it has turned out to be ideal for the creation of the backlit museum\u00b4s display, creating plays of light by means of various milled edges.
\n\u201cThe ambition of the Copenhagen Panorama has been to create a poetic as well as a rational image of Copenhagen. The exhibition, which is staged in a space where light and sound change subtly, gives precise statistics and data of the city\u2019s development as well as transport, lifestyle and the habits of the Copenhageners. The materiality of the design reflects the city\u2019s volatility but also the stability and weight that history and the city itself manifests.\u201d Says exhibition architect Johan Carlsson, from JAC studios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"template":"","projects_category":[1165],"projects_line":[1146],"class_list":["post-6998","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","projects_category-himacs","projects_line-himacs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
