Luminale is an international festival of lighting culture which takes place every two years in Frankfurt am Main and in the Rhein Main region parallel to the Light+Building trade fair.
With the combination of Light+Building and Luminale Frankfurt offers a six day action-packed programme in April on the issues of light design, high end architecture and the cultural intercourse with light.
The invitee lists for vernissages and parties read like a who is who of the creative scene.
Luminale is a platform for architects, designers, urban planners and artists. They will be showing new works and product ideas to the assembled international public. The latest trends “interactive architecture” and “urban screening” will put Luminale in the limelight. Luminale projects have regularly been awarded international design and architecture prizes.
Since 2002 the number of projects has doubled every time. In 2006 there were 180 projects to be seen:
in museums, galleries and shops, on the facades of skyscrapers and in warehouses, on streets and squares, in churches and parks, on river embankments and bridges. Luminale is a publicly accessible light laboratory. Innovation and experimentation are the focus.
About 100 000 visitors will be out and about during the Luminale nights. They will share the experience of how fascinating new possibilities are put into practice. Light and electricity are urban media. Luminale reflects the rapid development of urban life.
