LPA 2013 Activities & 2014 Goals
Five projects received international design awards
Five of our projects received lighting awards from the prestigious IESNA, (Illuminating Engineering Society of North
America). Among them, Gardens by the Bay in Singapore was given the Award of Distinction, and Ise Shrine Sengu
Museum in Japan received the Award of Excellence. Three other projects – Tokyo Station Building Restoration, Star
Vista and Reflections at Keppel Bay both in Singapore received Award of Merit. We received the awards at the
ceremony during IESNA Annual Conference held at Los Angeles in the US. Gardens by the Bay also received
LAMP Award in the category of Urban and Landscape Design, and we attended the award ceremony in Barcelona,
Spain. We are very pleased and feel honoured to receive such international recognition for all these projects in Asia.
Over 50 LPA members in three offices
LPA group now has over 50 staff members with three offices in Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong. Between the
offices, we make collaborative efforts to fulfill the various phases of our projects – from conceptual design to site
supervisions. It is an important part of LPA’s policy to conduct proper site supervision as lighting design is never
complete on the design stage but rather on construction stage.
Contribution to lighting design society continues
Mr.Mende has been re-elected as a Board of Director for International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD)
headquartered in Chicago, USA, for the years 2014 to 2015. IALD is one of the largest professional lighting
design societies in the world with over 900 members, and its Japan chapter now has increased to over 70
members. The chapter has been actively organizing events to promote lighting design as well as to energize the
lighting industry. Mr.Mende attends the Board of Director meetings of the IALD three times a year with the strong
mission to contribute to the lighting design communities in Asia.
Project 2015 – LPA exhibition on lighting from Berlin to Tokyo
We have embarked on our project 2015 – an exhibition on lighting that will travel from Berlin to Singapore, Hong
Kong and lastly Tokyo between later part of 2015 to 2016. The entire LPA staff will be involved in the planning and
preparation of the exhibition, entering into the year 2015 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of LPA.
