No reason to complain
Just like in the last big crisis, visitor quality counts for more than the sheer mass of people at a trade fair.
The Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre has ventured into something completely different from normal fair and congress activities. A team of ten graffiti artists has created a 160 metre-long painting on the exterior wall of the centre's largest hall. In all, the painting includes nine works of art. It will remain in place for the coming year, until completion of the new Hall 7 and demolition of the present eastern wall in due course.
Vibrant exhibition architecture
The combination of corporate identity and design yields vibrant innovative potential for exhibition architecture.
