To unite them under one roof and therefore strengthen the feeling of togetherness, the renowned architect Hans Hollein planned a building that was aligned perfectly with the S-shaped street along the side of the building plot. This architectural wonder on the edge of Vienna\u2019s Stadtpark (City Park) is a spacious building of 11,000 m\u00b2 and very quickly became known as &#8220;Die Welle\u201d (The Wave).<\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2009\/02\/diewelle_z1s.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"diewelle_z1s\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2337\" \/>\n\n<p>LED string: true colours, continuous appearance and user-friendly design For eye-catching fa\u00e7ade lighting Zumtobel and Ledon developed a special line consisting of around 36,000 LEDs, with each LED having a special yellow-white colour. Integrated in the Raiffeisen-yellow diffuser the string produces light in the precise corporate colour. To create a uniform line it was essential to focus on two specific design aspects. White LEDs were used that were all within in single colour location. This was particularly important because even slight discrepancies could be considered annoying. Special cabling ensures that the spacing between the individual tubes is minimal, which makes the line appear continuous. Thanks to DMX512 each light line can be individually controlled.<\/p>\n\n<p>via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ledonlighting.com\/com\/en\/default.htm\">ledonlighting.com<\/a><br \/>\nFotos: Walter Luttenberger<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Raiffeisen office building in Vienna has been nicknamed &#8220;Die Welle\u201d (The Wave) because of its S-shaped fa\u00e7ade.
