Kraftwerk Living Technologies (KLT), a leading-edge AV systems integrator, is celebrating its success at the 2023 AV Awards in London, where it was awarded Venue Project of the Year for the House of Digitalization in Austria.
Kraftwerk Living Technologies is a world-renowned authority on specialized audiovisual solutions. The firm has three international branch offices, with its headquarters in Wels, Austria. Its award-winning project is an event and exhibition venue with media technology facilities, which combines a groundbreaking concept with an elegant finish.
The House of Digitalization
The House of Digitalization at the Biotech Campus in Tulln, Austria, opened in December 2022. With a total size of 4,200 square metres, it is an architectural and media technology landmark.
The site is operated by Digital GmbH, and offers a broad range of digitalisation activities to serve small and medium-sized businesses in Lower Austria. In addition, each year a new multimedia exhibition will be presented in the space to engage a wide range of audiences.
To accompany the exhibition concept Human+Machine by Tamschick Media+Space, KLT led on technology for the showroom and event area, where the firm installed cutting-edge AV systems. It also equipped the foyer, entrance area, and media façade with digital features.
Interactive exhibition components, creative interpretations of real-time data, a backdrop of light and sound, and media technology-supported architecture complete the theme of digitalisation and elevate a visit into an experience.
The House of Digitalization features:
- A 69 x 4.5 metre 360° LED wall that almost completely fills the wall of the Event & Showroom, and can be used as a presentation space for events and an exhibition element.
- An LED ceiling solution in the foyer, with a total surface area of 10 by 11 metres.
- An external media technology façade featuring seven LED display strips ranging in length from 5 to 17 metres.
- Enhanced efficiency for events, with exhibition and all media technology-equipped exhibits which can be completely deconstructed and reconstructed in under two hours.
