Architects approve screens in historic HQ
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has installed screens in its Art Deco headquarters, in a rare example of a digital-signage deployment inside a historically significant building.
A 103-inch Panasonic plasma near the entrance, housed in an alcove off the main staircase, promotes events and exhibitions.
The lobby also has portrait-format 42-inch plasmas with custom bezels showing meeting and event timetables, integrated with RIBA’s event-management software
RIBA’s central London headquarters, dating from 1934, is on the local authority’s list of buildings of special historical and architectural interest. Tight controls cover additions or alterations to these structures.
Britain’s Beaver Solutions provided the kit and runs the network, which uses Scala software.
