architectural studio ippolito fleitz group together with company bruce b. designed the german federal chamber of architects exhibition stand for the expo real 2008 that consistently embodied the concept of sustainability.

a large number of the elements were off-cuts from different exhibition stands. the individual parts were combined in line with the stand dimensions and predefined function zones into a kind of 3d puzzle and then matched using ecologically viable paints. the stand remained deliberately visible in order to present the concept of recycling as a tangible presence. the lighting design by bartenbach lighting laboratory was realized using borrowed and mostly second hand, energy efficient halogen lighting. both light intensity and tone correspond with the different requirements of the various areas of use.
