| | Kress & Adams belong to the most renowned offices for daylight and artificial light planning in the German-speaking countries Amongst their best known lighting projects are the Museum Quarter in Vienna, the ship-building hall in Zurich, the art gallery in Graz and the gas containers in Simmering. One of Kress & Adams' great strengths is their ability to interpret and express the architect's spatial vision with light. Their integrated lighting concepts are derived primarily from the architecture whilst taking into consideration the functional requirements. The development of individual light fittings is also an essential part of creating a successful dialogue between architecture and lighting: minimalist and highly expressive forms with a great degree of technical expertise are characteristic of their light designs.
Richly illustrated, the lighting projects are presented thematically with reference to reduction, presentation, variability, dynamism, representation, and experimentation. The particular features of each lighting concept are highlighted and documented using floor plans, lighting plans, technical details, light designs and copious illustrations. |

| This guide shows how the concepts used in lighting design arise from the needs of the designer and the user. These concepts are shown in a practical context to enable you to develop and improve your design skills.
Through examples and exercises, this book makes it easier for the student to acquire the level of understanding, knowledge and skill required for both examinations and professional training purposes.
Over the past two decades there has been an increasing emphasis on the need for architects and building professionals to have a better understanding of lighting and the ability to deal with lighting matters within the context of the built environment. Lighting is no longer considered to be primarily the province of the electrical engineer. Previously a separate subject in the professional examinations, lighting is often now found in a more general area within an architecture or building course.
* Provides a comprehensive source of information on lighting design for a wide range of building types
* The latest text from a respected author and lighting designer
* Core information presented provides an indispensable learning tool for students, and for professionals as part of their continuing professional development |

| Introduction: A person of discernment will attempt to read all about you in the character of the rooms where you dine, entertain, write messages, sleep, and bathe. This is why monarchs in past centuries sank so much of the national treasury into decorating, why interior designers today might be seen as psychologists of sorts, and why we plan with passion and precision every texture and object in a room. The choice of a Schonbek crystal chandelier is pivotal. It makes a mere space into and aesthetic statement. And it's a compliment to your acumen. A Schonbek chandelier possesses all the qualities of a collectible: originality, craftmanship, history. Schonbek has been making crystal chandeliers since 1879. It was founded in Bohemia by Adolf Schonbek, one of a long line of Schonbeks who dedicate their lives to beauty. Historic Schonbek crystal hangs in Buckingham Palace and the White House. The prismatic luminosity of a Schonbek crystal chandelier creates and amazing, caressing quality of light, rendering every gesture significant, every gathering glorious. You'll feel like the star of your own movie when you live with a Schonbek. |
