* Highly illustrated including 200 colour photographs throughout the text* Written by one of the UK's top architects and lighting engineers* Companion volume to the successful 'Lighting in Historic Buildings'This is an important book, written by one of the top lighting designers in the country. Written at the end of a career as an architect and lighting designer, the book draws on the experience gained while living through a period of intense lighting development, from 1956 up to the millenium. It bridges the gap between the present day architect and lighting engineer, from the viewpoint of the 'independent lighting designer'.
