Licht Kunst Licht 3 Andreas Schulz avedition GmbH 59.90 EUR softback ISBN: 978-3-89986-137-2
It’s been quite a year for Andreas Schulz and his team at Licht Kunst Licht. They have been decorated with numerous internation- al awards including International Project of the Year at the UK Lighting Design Awards, Interior Lighting Scheme of the Year at the LAMP Lighting Solutions Awards and, most prestigiously, the Radiance Award at the IALD Awards. Schulz himself has been awarded with the Lighting Designer of the Year at the Deutsch Lichtdesign-Preises 2011 ceremony.
It is their completed works in 2010 that have brought all this success so it is timely that Licht Kunst Licht 3 is a review of their work from this period. Selected recent projects that have been carried out with internationally renowned architects show the office’s spectrum. The emerging build- ing projects on the Novartis Campus Basle of Maki, Krischanitz and Serra are presented as well as the Shin Marunouchi Building in Tokyo, the Zollverein Park in Essen and the multi-award winning Telekom Bridge in Bonn (mondo*arc 58). Licht Kunst Licht was founded in 1991 by Andreas Schulz in Bonn and Berlin, Germa- ny. Currently employing 25 personnel with various backgrounds such as architecture, design, scenography and electrical engi- neering, LKL are working on various projects with renowned architects worldwide. The office has a portfolio spanning the architec- tural gamut from museums to administra- tion buildings.
Light And Emotions Edited by Vincent Laganier & Jasmine van der Pol Birkhauser $24.90 softback ISBN: 978-3-0346-0690-5
Following on from its initial success in 2009 when ‘Light and Emotions’ was launched by Philips, Birkhauser has now taken the reins for this second edition in order to ensure global distribution. Forty-seven highly experienced lighting designers were interviewed in twelve countries. The countries selected for the study are those where the profession of lighting de- signer has been established as an independent
practice for at least ten to fifteen years. The countries represented are Brazil, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America. The selected lighting designers are considered to be trendsetters and opinion leaders in different lighting fields: indoor, outdoor, art, stage and cinema. Most are active members of local or global lighting design associations, e.g. PLDA and IALD – the Professional Lighting Designers’ Association and the Interna- tional Association of Lighting Designers.
The book explores, in a systematic fashion, what aesthetic, emotional,and atmo- spheric tasks a good lighting design can accomplish. The international diversity of the interviewed designers makes for surprising insights. Universal constants are pointed out, but so are the remarkable differences in reception and effect that are occasioned by different societies and cultures. It is imperative, then, for professional lighting designers and architects to familiarise themselves with these ‘lighting cultures’, and this book offers an informative and stimulating opportunity to do so. The first part of the book is based on Synovate research. Synovate is an international market intelligence research company with a network covering over fifty countries. The methodology of the research as defined focuses on in-depth interviews with light- ing designers in different parts of the world: Asia-Pacific, Europe and America. The focus of the study is on architectural projects and many are highlighted here in four chapters: ‘Brightness’ - the Galeria Kaufhof Alexanderplatz in Berlin by Licht Kunst Licht; Chung Tai Chan Monastery in Nantou, Taiwan by CWI Lighting; and Bahai Lotus Temple, New Delhi by Dolly & Anil Valia; ‘Colour’ - Alto do Ipiranga Station, Sao Paulo by Mingrone Lighting and Consultancy; the Marcus Center, Milwaukee by Focus Lighting Arnolfo di Cambio, San Giovanni Valdarno, Italy by Francesca Storaro Lighting Design and Rion Antirion Bridge in Greece by Concepto; ‘Direction’ - Nestlé headquarters in Noisiel, France by Aartill; Matsumoto Performing Arts Centre in Magano, Japan by Hiroyasu Shoji and Centre for Health Science in Inverness, Scotland by Kevan Shaw; ‘Emotions’ - Westminster Academy, London by BDP Lighting; Statue of Liberty, New York by Howard Brandston; Sathira-Dhammasathan Temple, Bangkok by BioArchitetek and the United States Air Force Memorial, Arlington by Office for Visual Interaction. The second part gives the Philips Lighting synthesis on the ‘Lighting parameters to achieve emotion’. This part is supported with quotes from the original face-to-face interviews. The final part ‘Conversations with lighting designers’ presents in-depth extracts from the full-length face-to-face interviews. These extracts concentrate on aspects which act as drivers and inspiration for lighting designers and their experi- ences in architectural lighting design projects. Lighting designers interviewed include Nisar Allana from Delhi; Peter Andres from Hamburg; Susanna Antico from Milan; Gustavo Avilés from Mexico City; La-Orchai Boonpiti from Bangkok; Roger Narboni from Bagneux, France; Michael Rohde from Berlin; Satoshi Uchihara from Tokyo; and Antonio Mingrone from Sao Paulo.
