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.
