Transa Backpacking AG, Markthalle Bern

Kilchenmann was asked by Aebi & Vincent Architekten SIA AG to plan the audiovisual system for the pop-up area in the Transa store in the Markthalle Bern.

Kilchenmann then submitted an offer and was commissioned to install some components at the same time. There was a lot of time pressure in the project, as the store opening had already been publicly scheduled. It was also important to develop a concept together in order to create different scenarios and moods. The architect also attached great importance to leaving the existing surfaces in their raw state (e.g. without cladding).

The work carried out by Kilchenmann included the installation of the truss and around 80 spotlights in the event zone and entrance area as well as the complete installation of the audio-video system.

Transa uses the pop-up area in a multifunctional way and uses this zone for a wide variety of event and exhibition formats. In addition to the installed spotlights, they require a projection on a screen including sound and microphones. A mobile display trolley with a 75" display is also used. A touch panel and an iPad are used to control the lighting, audio, video and all the room functions. The control software required for this was customized.

Another part of the order was the installation and integration of loudspeakers in the Transa Café-Bar.

Many thanks for the great project and the pleasant collaboration!
