Interview

"Unique features“ are also important in the cityscape

Interview with Dr. Ursula Schirmer, spokesperson of the German Foundation for Monument Protection

Monument protection is not just “beautiful“, but also an important economic factor. Dr. Ursula Schirmer of the German Foundation for Monument Protection holds this view. In this interview the art historian describes what makes cities unique and where customers feel comfortable.

Facades and windows turn into luminous advertising spaces

Great architecture can get even better with the right light. Façade lighting highlights the outside, or a building is so transparent that the inside lighting also has an effect on the outside. Compared to metal, glass, stone and wood, architectural lighting has one key advantage: once installed, the facade can constantly be newly staged.

“Welcome“ to the land of facade opportunities

Interview with Thomas Tennagels, Managing Director of curveLED in Düsseldorf

The first thing visitors saw at the EuroShop 2008 was a large curtain made of light emitting diodes. This year the diodes will once again write “Welcome“ and “Bienvenue“ in the entrance hall. LEDs will be an important trade fair topic. They are durable and very versatile, both in shop design as well as the facade outside. curveLED is one of several exhibitors who offer such installations.
