What occupies me · 02 of 04

Space and trade fairs

A room forgives nothing. At a trade fair you can tell within ten seconds whether a brand is real or merely claimed. There is hardly a more honest test.

Where ten seconds show whether a brand holds.

How I go about it

A stand is not a picture, it is a sequence. Where does someone stop, where is the conversation held, where are the numbers run, where does the storage disappear. If that is wrong, the finest back wall will not help.

So I plan from use rather than from the elevation. Then comes the question of what can actually be built within the build-up time and the budget. Both early, not in detailed design.

What works on a stand usually works in a showroom and in a shop too. The difference is how long it has to stand, not the principle.
