More About This Textbook

Overview

"Lighting is a basic, yet difficult-to-master, element of interior design, and Lighting Design Basics offers essential knowledge of this complex subject in a concise, highly visual format. Two leading practicing designers, with many decades of experience, present straightforward coverage of lighting design concepts, techniques, and realistic goals to guide new designers and students through the process of creating simple, typical lighting designs and effectively collaborating with professional designers on more complex projects." "Design scenarios for more than twenty different spaces illustrate real-world case studies for illuminating residential and commercial spaces, from kitchens to doctors' offices. Each scenario includes an in-depth rationale for the proposed solution, insightful lighting distribution diagrams, floor plans, and details for lighting installation and construction. Featured exercises offer focused development of lighting design skills in preparation for working on actual lighting design projects, as well as the NCIDQ and NCARB exams." Packed with informative illustration, Lighting Design Basics is an invaluable resource for students, as well as interior designers and architects studying for professional licensing exams.

    Not worth it

    While the book does contain some technical information, such as calculations for determining the illumination (amount of light) X ft away from a specific source, the book contains only the most general text relating to lighting situations, such as classrooms, conference rooms, hallways, etc. At $43 and under 200 pages the asking price doesn't seem to represent a high value to me. Try the public library first to see what information is out there, then buy a copy of something you see there or check the bibliography of a book for hints to titles and sources.
