LPA 2016 Activities & <strong>2017</strong> Goals<br />
Travelling exhibition on lighting completed.<br />
“Nightscape 2050 – a Dialogue between cities - light - people in the Future”. An exhibition commemorating LPA’s<br />
25th anniversary completed with the final show in Tokyo in June 2016 after Berlin, Singapore and Hong Kong.<br />
The exhibition provided a platform for the discussion of visions on nightscape in 2050 in these cities. Each show<br />
also offered considerations of its own localized issues. It was held for 5 months in total with around 35,000<br />
visitors; workshops and symposiums organized during the exhibition also attracted an interested audience.<br />
