Light+Building Tour 01

„Urban Lighting – Public squares and streets, buildings and surfaces are defined by light – during the evening hours the artificial light creates spaces and represents a cities face. Cities and local authorities are renovating public grounds. The renewal of lighting systems plays an important part in city marketing, visual comfort, traffic safety and prevention of crime. We are searching for new lighting tools to lighten urban spaces in high quality, justifying their investments by economic advantages, directing light where it is needed and preventing light pollution.” Frank Vetter

„Minimized – The holistic approach in our Lighting Design Projects is all about space, atmosphere and a place to remember. Looking at and for the tool box serving small to large scale projects there is always an ambitious need for even more minimized luminaires. LED as light source is the basic but how much space needs the overall design of all components. The tour introduces several tools of minimizing fittings and the impact of integrated and remote technical components. It will be also an alluring treasure hunt on our way through the fairground checking out improvements of our toolbox.” Carla Wilkins

„From the LED light source to the LED Luminaire – Looking back at the history of lighting, whenever a new light source was introduced, designers needed time to fully understand the nature of this new technology in order to identify the design potential. This is currently the case with the LED technology. Come join us on a tour to explore and discover the current stage of the development of these new products and applications!” Reinhard Germer

„LED Blues – Dear light lovers! We start at 3:00 pm in the outlook lounge hall 4.2. With a short presentation of my recent works we figure out how little light is needed to create a perfect atmosphere. Not only the atmosphere you may be like to snooze close to a chimney, but also for smart building concepts and valuable street lighting. On our tour we will join some companies, which are specialized in the dimming process. There you will get all the informations you need for valuable concepts around the dimming and steering process.” Gabriele Allendorf, 12/2015

„Integration – By understanding light as matter and allowing for the space to become visible and to reveal itself as intended, integration of lighting schemes within architecture becomes very important. In this sense adaptability and size of light fitting are of essence to our vision for all lighting projects. The tour will therefore explore lighting manufacturers that enable sculpturing of light through easily interchangeable accessories while maintaining, as far as possible, integration of necessary equipment and required reduced size.” Birgit Walter

„My Orchestra is a Big Band: Sun, Sky, Moon, Stars! – Our aim is to create environments for people - to design atmospheres where people feel comfortable. Besides of our own feeling and intuition there are new researches proving how much especially light influences well-being and health of humans.So why not using this knowledge and integrate it in healthy and beautiful buildings and outside spaces?!" On April 2, Ulrike Brandi will illustrate how this can be implemented based on her own projects. Her tour of the fair will then lead you to manufacturers whose products impress through aesthetics, clarity, tranquility and wit. The respective product presentations will be consciously short so that there will be enough room for subject-specific debate.” Ulrike Brandi

„Lighting design for a large-scale infrastructure project in the Middle East – ideas and their realisation by several manufacturers: The demands on planners and the associated implementation of ideas by the luminaire makers are becoming more and more sophisticated. The technology and flexibility of LEDs – and with that their possible applications – seem to be unlimited. However, everything still has to be physically developed and built. We set out on a tour to selected manufacturers addressing this task. Along the way, there is a lot more to be discovered." Wilfried Kramb

Light+Building Tour 09

„From engineering to poetry – The question “What is good lighting in architecture?“ may be answered in many different ways. For our office, successful lighting design works in harmony with the architect’s design intent and merges into a coherent, holistic solution. Engineering approaches are often required to create sleek and integrated lighting solutions. This tour invites you to explore the potential of designed lighting elements. A distinct design of lighting fixtures is influential on the atmosphere of a space. Beyond the suggestion of quality and value, designed luminaires create a sense of identity, evoke emotions and sometimes achieve to add poetry to the architecture. Join in and be inspired!” Andreas Schulz

„Shaping Light – Our goal when using light, it's not just to iluminate, but to shape the light in a way that perfectly matchs with the space. By understanding the architectural concept and with the right usage and control of the light source, every space may be unique and every idea could come to reality. Searching and finding the proper manufacturer capable to think, create, produce and model the light source is what we will achieve among thousands of brands which try to capture our attention; artec3 is who will explain and shape that light.” Fernando Rojo
