Light Book : The Practice of Lighting Design

Light is becoming an increasingly important factor in the construction of buildings and their interiors. In an era dominated by technical innovation, ecological demands and aesthetical requirements, architects and investors are recognizing that artificial light and daylight can be used to great effect inside and outside with comparative ease. This useful handbook takes all these aspects into consideration, and is essentially aimed at the practitioner - architects, light planners and designers. From the very first designs to the completion of the projects, this book charts all aspects of lighting projects using copious examples from Europe, USA and the Far East. Chapters on basic technical details and the necessary instruments are included, and an extensive glossary makes vital information readily accessible.
