The meeting places for knowledge transfer, interaction and inspiration are the thematically oriented Building Plaza and Design Plaza”.

Design Plaza: lighting, architecture and design

For six days, everything at the Design Plaza will revolve around lighting, architecture and design. A highlight at the beginning of the fair is the presentation of the Design Plus Awards powered by Light + Building’ in cooperation with the German Design Council, which is also staging expert talks focusing on design and brand development. Additionally, the Design Plaza is the starting place for themed guided tours of the fair during which internationally renowned architects and experts stop at the stands of selected exhibitors to discuss individual aspects.

The guided tours are being organised by a variety of cooperation partners, including World Architects. Incidentally, the Hessian Chamber of Architects offers training points for participation in their guided tours. The focus at the Design Plaza is on lighting and associated topics when the Lighting Section of the German Electro and Digital Industry Association (ZVEI) takes to the stage and brings together lighting experts for discussions and lectures revolving around sustainability, efficiency and digitalisation.
