Lighting is a key feature of almost all interiors but it isoften treated in a rather superficial manner in most books. It is,however, a complex, fast-moving field where the technology isalways changing. For large schemes, a professional lightingdesigner is usually employed, but for smaller projects it willoften fall to the architect or interior designer to specify thelighting. In either case, it is crucial that the architect orinterior designer understands what lighting is available, how itcan be used and controlled and how it can be fitted. This bookfeatures 40 recent international projects. Each project featuresdetailed plans, diagrams, sketches and CAD visuals to demonstratethe lighting techniques involved. This is accompanied by anexplanatory text (how the lighting fulfilled the brief, how thelighting concept was arrived at, why particular lightfittings/lamps were specified and so on). A bonus CD includestechnical drawings from the book.
