An American in Frankfurt

among a small legion of american lighting designers, I attended Light+Building 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany, from April 18 to 22.

Maybe it is the time commitment or the multiple time zones, or maybe I'm just not as comfortable in the international arena. After this last experience, however, I think I will attend more often.

Light, Frankfurt Style

the numbers are in. the biennial frankfurt-located light+building, held from april to , logged a 16 percent increase over its 2004 attendee numbers, from 116,000 visitors two years ago to 134,489 this year.

While not all of the 119,000 square feet of exhibition space was devoted to lighting (the show also incorporated engineering, home and building automation, and architecture-related systems), there was more than enough on the 15 lighting-devoted floors to keep the ambitious visitor busy for at least five days-and sore for many more following.
