Features: Whether it's outlining the contours of the Fragonard store with profile lighting, illuminating Sevres porcelain with spotlights, or using lighting installations to illuminate the Whitney, lighting today plays an increasingly important role in showcasing a variety of art works and historical buildings. As part of the series "Art Lighting and Spatial Environments," this book, combined with Volume 2 "Retail Space," introduces lighting technologies available to designers, the preservation issues involved, and the evaluation of lighting effects. Special-designed icons combined with the designer's own explanations help readers understand the lighting used in these case studies. Additionally, the book provides a comprehensive technical introduction to lighting and includes a glossary of lighting terms.
