Résumé

At last – a systematic and practical handbook covering all aspects of lighting in architecture.

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 recognising that artificial light and daylight can be used to great effect inside and outside with comparative ease. Good lighting is always the culmination of a number of complex factors: a good design, experience, technical competence, imagination, the successful cooperation of experts and clients. This useful handbook takes all these aspects into consideration, and is essentially aimed at the practitioner – architects, light planners and designers.

Drawing upon their extensive experience gathered from working with internationally renowned architects on more than 250 projects, the authors have produced a comprehensive handbook to all aspects of lighting. 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.
