By reading this book; you will develop the skills to perceive a space and its contents in light; and be able to devise a layout of luminaires that will provide that lit appearance.Written by renowned lighting expert Christopher (Kit) Cuttle; the book:explains the difference between vision and perception; which is the distinction between providing lighting to make things visible; and providing it to influence the appearance of everything that is visible;demonstrates how lighting patterns generated by three-dimensional objects interacting with directional lighting are strongly influential upon how the visual perception process enables us to recognize object attributes; such as lightness; colourfulness; texture and gloss; reveals how a designer who understands the role of these lighting patterns in the perceptual process may employ them either to reveal; or to subdue; or to enhance the appearance of selected object attributes by creating appropriate spatial distributions of light; carefully explains calculational techniques and provides easy-to-use spreadsheets; so that layouts of lamps and luminaires are derived that can be relied upon to achieve the required illumination distributions. Practical lighting design involves devising three-dimensional light fields that create luminous hierarchies related to the visual significance of each element within a scene. By providing you with everything you need to develop a design concept - from the understanding of how lighting influences human perceptions of surroundings; through to engineering efficient and effective lighting solutions ndash; Kit Cuttle instills in his readers a new-found confidence in lighting design.
