Light + Architecture (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788499367064)

Professional lighting architects and lighting designers "think" in light.

Light + Architecture features architectural and lighting designers in dialogue -- light and architecture are inseparable.

Builders of the past were aware of the emotional power of light on the viewer and the power of its staging. Today Human Centric Lighting is the buzzword of the hour in the lighting industry -- a lighting concept for interiors, in which, in addition to the visual, the emotional, and the non-visual effects of light are taken into account. Nature is also the source of ideas for the play of light and shadow, reflection and color, and flows into designs.

This book is full of inspiring examples of the interaction of light and architecture across the globe, from North America to Europe, the United Arab Emirates to Asia. It features works by renowned and award-winning lighting designers and architects, from historical buildings and sacred spaces; private houses; cultural institutions; movie theaters; corporate headquarters.; luxury hotels and shop design; to light art and urban lighting, inner-city lighting concepts and lighting design for outdoor spaces.
