Conceiving Architecture
Addition to the permanent exhibition intended for both blind and sighted people
Five tactile architectural models in the Museum Nikolaikirche make the building’s layout and design tangible for blind, visually impaired and sighted people.
Location
Museum Nikolaikirche
Nikolaikirchplatz
10178 Berlin
Opening Hours
daily | 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Admission
7 euros (single ticket) | 15 euros (combi-ticket*) | free admission (under 18 years or with reduction)
*Valid on two consecutive days for the Museum Ephraim-Palais, the Museum Nikolaikirche and the Museum Knoblauchhaus.
Located at two stations in the museum, high-quality 3D models allow visitors to explore the Nikolaikirche’s interior and exterior architecture and reveal the connection between aesthetics and functionality in the individual architectural elements. Audio commentary provides historical context and orientation for the blind and sighted alike.
The project was initiated by students of the part-time master’s degree programme European Cultural Heritage at the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), who also saw it through to its completion. The new stations were developed and optimised in close cooperation with blind and visually impaired Berliners.
