Average Customer Ratings:

Our visual world is made of light. We light to see and to communicate. We light for security, to create mood and atmosphere, to enhance and entertain. Where natural light fails man has learned to improvise, constantly developing new technologies to illuminate art and architecture. Our visual experience and emotional reaction to buildings is shaped by the control of light and shadow. Light is increasingly integrated into the fabric of buildings and becomes a part of the architecture. Jonathan Speirs and Mark Major are experienced, award-winning Lighting Architects working internationally at the forefront of lighting design. This vividly illustrated book explores the influences that inspire their work. It investigates the basic properties and qualities of light, presents a sketchbook of ideas and observations, and includes an in-depth interview.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

good reference -
Esse livro contém enfoque próprio sobre a possibilidade do espaço arquitetônico tornar-se complexo através da plástica da luz. E ainda chama a atenção para a necessidade de pensar o edifício e da cidade no ambiente noturno

The Beauty of Light -
This must be one of the most insightful and beautiful books on light ever written. It should inspire every lighting designer . . . and architect
