Project data:
In a former wholesale flower market - diagonally across from the Jewish Museum designed by Daniel Libeskind - a new place for children of kindergarten and primary school age to discover, explore and play has been created under the aegis of the architecture and exhibition office Olson Kundig from Seattle.
The focus of the children's museum is the story of Noah's Ark, an imposing ship with which Noah saved his family and a pair of all animal species from the flood. In the heart of the children's world ANOHA - a huge round wooden ark there are more than 150 animals, made from recycled materials, whose well-being the children can take care of.
The challenge in terms of room acoustics was to achieve a comfortable and pleasant basic acoustic atmosphere in the open hall with a reverberation time of several seconds. The required absorption is achieved by activating the wooden Ark structure – visible within the ceiling’s wood slat pattern for example. In addition, the surrounding building is acoustically treated with absorbers.
