SENDLINGER TOR PLATZ Munich, since 2018
In close cooperation with the architects Raupach and Bohn, Ingo Maurer and team won the com-
petition for the redesign of another important subway junction in Munich’s city centre.
The colour scheme of the two platform levels is based on the existing colours of the building from
1972. One platform is blue, the other yellow. The linear luminaires pick up on both the direction of
movement for passengers and the speed of arriving and departing trains.
On the mezzanine level the walls and ceiling are black. The wall covering with its high-quality enamel
surface gives the space a refined urban look, while white ceiling panels accommodate the luminaires
and dissolve the rigid grid of floor, walls, and ceiling structure. The lighting elements have been spe-
cially developed for the incorporation of the luminaires in the ceiling plans.

Basement U1 / U2: This floor consists of a connecting area and two platform tunnels. The
orientation of the lighting in the tunnels takes up the theme of speed. The ceiling and the
upper part of the walls are covered with yellow panels.
