The first involvement will be at this year's PLASA Show (7-10th September at Earls Court, London), where the demands of this dynamic audience will be met with an extensive educational programme. This event is supported and endorsed by the RIBA CPD Providers Network. Included in the masterclass sessions will be a talk from English Heritage on the Conflict between Historic Accuracy and Modern Standards, whilst from Conran Design, David Chaloner will be talking about Retail Dynamic Applications. The industry seminars will cover topics including challenges and best practice in the AV market, the role of consultants and the topical issue of LEDs in architecture.
To complement these developments the show has a new area - the Architectural Audio & Visual section, where companies will exhibit product specifically for this market. Amongst these will be Bosch, Mission, Marantz & Denon, Dynalite, Profile Video and Audace. There will also be a photographic gallery of past projects, supported by the IALD and ELDA, demonstrating the significance and effectiveness that sound and light now play within building design and interior architecture.
