Create Simple
Yet Effective Spaces Using Basic Lighting Techniques
Lighting
is a basic, yet difficult-to-master, element of interior design, and
Lighting Design Basics provides the information you need in a
concise, highly visual format. Two leading designers, both with
decades of experience, offer straightforward coverage of concepts
and techniques, and present realistic goals you can use as guides to
creating simple, typical lighting designs and when collaborating
with professional designers on more complex projects.
Design scenarios for more than twenty different spaces illustrate
real-world case studies for illuminating residential and commercial
spaces, from kitchens to doctors' offices. Each scenario includes an
in-depth rationale for the proposed solution, insightful lighting
distribution diagrams, floor plans, and details for lighting
installation and construction. In addition, exercises allow you to
develop lighting design skills in preparation for working on actual
projects, as well as the NCIDQ and NCARB exams.
Packed with informative illustrations, Lighting Design Basics
is an invaluable resource for students, as well as interior
designers and architects studying for professional licensing exams
