Summary of Bright: Architectural Illumination and Light Installations

The use of light and illumination in architecture and design is currently evolving
and making an increasingly significant impact on various creative disciplines.
Today, architects use light installations to create a different nighttime identity
for their buildings that allow for additional functions and presentations. Light is
also important for interior designers, who use it to give the impression of a room
where there isn t one or make a space seem bigger or smaller. Others use light
to conjure works of art, forms and images out of nothing or to give entire city
centres a whole new look. In short, light is a magical medium for creative experimentation
that designers are using to produce a broad spectrum of exciting
work.
Bright presents a rich selection of these innovative projects that are setting
trends in the creative use of light. The included work has been implemented
in both a commercial and cultural context around the world. Each designer or
design company is portrayed in an eight-page spread featuring both stunning
photography and detailed text information.
Bright is an up-to-date reference tool for professionals working in the fields of
lighting design, architecture and art. The book reflects the role of illumination
as a multifaceted and interactive design element. In doing so, Bright sheds new
light on the future of architecture and design.
