The 2009 GE Edison Award was presented to Andreas Schulz and Alexander Rotsch of Licht Kunst Licht AG (Bonn, Germany) for lighting EnBW City in Stuttgart. EnBW City is the new headquarters complex for EnBW, a supplier of power, gas and water in Germany.
A personalized Steuben crystal award for the 27th annual lighting design
competition was presented by GE Lighting on May 11 in Las Vegas. A
panel of five judges selected this year’s winning entry for its
superiority in the following categories: functional excellence;
architectural compatibility; effective use of state-of-the-art lighting
products and techniques; appropriate colour, form and texture
revelation; energy and cost effectiveness.

The winning project was one of five Awards of Excellence finalists. The
others were:
Associates (Washington, D.C.)
• Emil Schumacher Museum (Hagen, Germany) designed by Andreas Schulz and
Tanja Baum of Licht Kunst Licht AG (Bonn, Germany)
• Novartis Campus – Maki Office Building (Basel, Switzerland) designed

AG (Bonn, Germany)
• MUAC University Museum of Contemporary Art (Mexico City, Mexico)
designed by Gustavo Avilés and Juan Carlos Martinez of Lighteam, Gustavo
