The Design Symposia at LIGHTFAIR® International (LFI), the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference, each offer 90 minutes of knowledge from the design community’s leading experts. The Design Symposia create a global stage for architects, designers and innovators to share their work and their vision. The trade show opens Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas and the Design Symposia take place on Thursday, May 10, 2012.

2012 Design Symposia include:
• Healthcare Lighting: Cleveland Clinic Case Study (8:30am-10:00am) – John D'Angelo, PE, CMVP, Senior Director of Facilities, Cleveland Clinic
Principally through lighting conversion projects, Cleveland Clinic has achieved a 20% reduction in energy usage over the last four years while improving patient outcomes, patient safety and patient experience.
• Light Spaces Wright Places (10:30am-12:00pm) – Lira Luis, AIA, RIBA, LEED AP BD+C, Principal Architect, atelier lira luis, LLC
Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin became an illustration of daylighting strategies. Luis discusses her experience living at one of America's architectural landmarks and how this demonstrates the value of defining architectural spaces with light.
• Creating Choreographed Experiences: A Sensory Exploration of Interiors (2:00pm-3:30pm) – Zia Hansen, AIA, NCARB, Associate Senior Designer, Wimberly Interiors (WATG)
Great design explores, investigates and exploits the power and magic of light and spatial volume to create daring, seductive and enhancing experiences. A designer’s goal is to exploit the characteristics of the space, location and theme being evoked.
