Landscape Design streetlights recognized for good, green design

An online advertising magazine reports BMW Group DesignworksUSA has been awarded a 2010 "Green Good Design Award" for two streetlights from a collection of site furnishings designed on behalf of American based client Landscape Forms.

The award is initiated by the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum and given out in 2010 for the second time. It complements the "Good Design Award," the oldest and most important awards program worldwide, according to Advertiser Talk.

The Hi-Glo, a 12-foot pedestrian light and Lo-Glo, a 3-foot pathway light, feature LED cartridge technology that delivers energy efficiency, high performance, longevity and economy were the lights that brought recognition from the judges.

Excerpt:

The "Good Design" program was founded in Chicago in 1950. Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of sustainable design and to develop a public awareness program to the international general public about which companies are concentrating on sustainable design for our world environments. For "Green Good Design", thousands of submissions were received from over 46 nations. Members of The European Center's International Advisory Committee -- worldwide leaders in the design industry -- served as the jury.
