Dialogue in the Dark

As an event partner, FPPV Architecture assisted in developing and adapting the Dialogue in the Dark concept for a local audience, then brought the concept to life. FPPV coordinated the highly complex fitout, overcoming a series of technical challenges to ensure that the fitout complied with regulations and maintained total darkness, with considerations given to operation of services and warning systems. Close collaboration between the client, contractor and architect enabled design
decisions to be made throughout construction to further enhance the visitor experience, incorporating various unique and unusual fixtures, fittings and finishes – the tram was particularly challenging to procure. The seminar room can operate in light or dark mode, with an acoustic operable wall onto the lobby. An interactive, layered façade plays on the notion of darkness and vision, with signage integrated into a perforated screen of braille.
