THE THEORY, PRACTICE, AND ART OF LIGHTING DESIGN Lighting is an essential element in any well-designed space, and Designing with Light: The Art, Science, and Practice of Architectural Lighting Design offers students and professionals a hands-on resource for applying the proven principles and most recent technologies during all stages of the design process. Designing with Light is a comprehensive introduction to the thoughtful and aesthetic use of lighting to define and enhance a space. Written in an accessible style, this resource explores all aspects of the lighting design process, including information on the basic principles of lighting, the aesthetics involved, current trends in lighting technology, the psychology of light, and more. The book is filled with illustrative color examples that demonstrate the real-world effects of the concepts outlined. In addition, there is a companion website that contains video animations and challenging exercises that illuminate the art and science of lighting. Written by Jason Livingston, a noted lighting designer and instructor, Designing with Light contains lively discussions on color, light, and health, as well as the latest data on energy efficient lighting, control systems, and other technological advances. Designing with Light also includes information on building and energy codes, as well as guidance on photometrics and calculations. This resource contains the principles, strategies, and science that can empower lighting designers to create simple and elegant spaces, or work on more complex and demanding projects.
