BY LIGHT For architects and installers, projects such as the Sybir Memorial Museum in Bialystok are a real challenge. In buildings of this type, functional solutions must simultaneously reflect the artistic and historical concept of the entire building. In this case, it has succeeded brilliantly. TRILUX lighting supported the architect’s vision.
A look into the past
The museum was created to honour the memory of exiled Poles and to bring the history of forced deportations to Siberia closer to the public. For the Russians, such exiles were a way to eliminate those who resisted the occupation.
How to tell the story of families deported deep into cold Siberia?
How to portray the inhumane journey and the conditions of hard labour? How to honour the memory of those who died?
Architect Jan Kabac decided to paint emotions through light.
One-way journey
Jan Kabac of design office ARKON, said: “When designing a museum,
a question arises: should the architecture be a background for what is presented in the exhibitions, or should it create emotions on its own? I concluded that in this case, the architecture should speak the language of symbols.”

The concept becomes clear as soon as you approach the building, especially after dusk. The path to the museum is outlined by TRILUX PAREDA SLIM luminaires, installed low to the ground. They only illuminate the underlying pavement, symbolic of a different path - the one the prisoners sent to Siberia had to take.
“Those walking the path gain the space to reflect on the fate of those who took the road only one way,” the architect explained.
Light painted by emotions
The Siberian Memorial Museum is located in one of the pre-war military warehouses, situated next to the railroad siding of the historic Polesie Railway Station. This is where the Soviets loaded residents into train cars in 1940, 1941 and 1944. The architect incorporated the original architectural elements into the overall design and used them as symbolic points. Here, TRILUX FACIELLA projectors enhance the drama of the illuminated objects.

“On the tracks stand an authentic Russian carriage from 1892. It references the historical deportations, which took place exactly on this railroad. The two-axle vehicle is a so-called ‘tiepłuszka’. It stands inside the Museum building. It acts as a symbolical gate through which all visitors pass and simultaneously brings to mind the memory of the dramatic moment when the deportees said farewell to their former lives.”
Luminaires – smart and functional
In addition to the symbolic layer, TRILUX solutions were installed in the functional areas. Smart DALI luminaires and the Crestron video conferencing system enable several lighting scenarios.

Michal Siemion of ZETO S.A, who was responsible for the lighting project, concluded: “It is also interesting to note that the reflectors in the LED profiles and the light source were mounted using magnetic mounts. This significantly shortened the luminaire assembly process. The entire lighting project was completed in about eight months.”
