Since 2018, the Pavilion has been an institution at the Book Fair. It is used for readings, interviews and all kinds of events. The Pavilion is reusable and will be stored during the Book Fair-free period. In mid-May 2023, the iF Design Award 2023 was ceremoniously presented at Berlin’s Friedrichstadt-Palast. The gold trophy of the prestigious design award in the category “Public Architecture” went to the building designed by schneider+schumacher Frankfurt Pavilion designed for the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Readings, interviews and discussions take place in the Pavilion in the mornings and afternoons, but in the evenings things can get a bit heated. To provide a setting for an exuberant trade show party, a few upgrades were installed to the standard equipment.

A disco ball was mounted under the ceiling, which was illuminated in phases. A multitude of spotlights and spots created a beautiful party ambience. The beautiful lighting effects were controlled with grandMA lighting consoles.

In addition to the two existing LED walls, a third was placed behind the stage. Additional speakers provided a bit more oomph.

In order to be able to reliably guarantee the assembly and dismantling as well as the support, eight colleagues, as planners, structural engineers, technicians and helpers, were in action.
