Written by Jill Entwistle, the new editor of Lighting Journal and sometime contributor to this publication, ‘Detail in Contemporary Lighting Design’ is part of a curiously diverse series of ‘Detail in Contemporary...’ publications that also includes Concrete Architecture; Residential Architecture; Landscape Architecture; Retail; Bathroom; and Bar & Restaurant Design.
This volume features more than 40 recent international projects where the lighting is the defining design feature. Each project includes detailed plans, diagrams, sketches and CAD visuals to demonstrate the lighting techniques involved. These are accompanied by an explanatory text that looks at the original brief, the design concept and the detailed specification of the light fittings.
Many of the projects have been featured in this magazine (including the banqueting facility at the Qatar National Convention Centre by Light + Design Associates in this issue) and include similar information in a summarised format. In fact, it’s kind of a book version of mondo*arc. Now, why didn’t we think of that?!
For those that need a digital, interactive element, a bonus CD includes technical drawings from the book. This book will be an invaluable resource for professional interior designers and architects in what is a fast-changing field.
Written by Malcolm Innes, a lighting designer and academic who has established a lighting design course at Edinburgh’s Napier University, ‘Lighting for Interior Design’ is part of a series of course books for the interior design student. The book is practically illustrated for the student who is just beginning on their lighting design journey. There is a good mix of theory and case studies (including those featured by mondo*arc - Speirs + Major’s Grand Mosque and Focus Lighting’s Morimoto Restaurant in Philadelphia) to keep the reader interested and there is enough detail in parts to teach a professional lighting designer a thing or two. Part One, Theory, looks at the physics and technology behind lighting. Part Two, Process and Practice, looks more specifically at the use of lighting in interior design and outlines the key design issues and principles. The book goes on to show the ways of representing lighting schemes using CAD and 3D models and how to implement and test these designs. Finally, the book explains how to deal with contractors, clients and other professionals. This book takes a detailed, practical look at lighting in interior design, giving students all the key information and skills they need to be able to tackle lighting successfully in their designs.
In October 2009, coinciding with the Professional Lighting Designers Convention in Berlin, lighting designer Martin Klaasen decided to start writing a blog about lighting each day for a year. In his capacity as a lighting designer, Klaasen has travelled the world getting involved with exciting projects and meeting many interesting people in and around the industry. Add to that Klaasen’s 30+ years of lighting experience, the world events and local happenings and you have a rich pool of subjects to tap from.
This blog is now available in a book and carries the same title: ‘Light Talk’. While the subheading for the blog is ‘a day in the life of light’, the book is subtitled ‘a year in the life of light’.
Having built and formed his career first with Philips Lighting in Europe and later with Lumino Design and Lighting Images in Asia, both companies he built up to become successful practices, Klaasen Lighting Design (KLD) is the culmination of all Klaasen’s experiences in the creative field of professional lighting design. The name ‘Light Talk’ was chosen consciously to reflect the light heartedness of the blogs. Klaasen touches on the subjects that cross his path daily in a light hearted way, as a reflection and food for thought, or just simply to share his experiences as a professional lighting designer. A good read for the lighting bod.
