This design text covers both the visual and technical aspects of lighting design for buildings, including daylight, electric lighting and the use of colour. Written by two leading authorities in the field, it is an up-to-date reference for the professional office library, for architects, interior designers and building services engineers.
Written primarily for the practising designer, The Design of Lighting brings together in one volume all that the practitioner is likely to need. The authors combine a technical introduction to lighting and colour theory with a guide to design concepts and criteria, to create a comprehensive source book for architects and designers on interior lighting design.
