There is a new IES Lighting Practice document in town, with art, appearance, environment, reassurance, and comfort in its soul. This workshop will take you through the design recommendations that are unique to pedestrian areas in parks, civic squares, along waterways, in plazas, restaurants, areas around sports fields, and sculpture gardens. Focal points, color, safety, visibility of others, consideration for critters, minimizing intrusive light and skyglow — all these issues are covered in a practical yet poetic way. The members of the committee will guide you through the recommendations, illustrative photos, and supportive tables.
Attendees will:
- Be able to apply principles of design that support visibility and beauty, without making spaces spooky
- See illustrations of nighttime spaces that are creative and uplifting while still providing visibility
- Learn to design spaces that feel safe without over-lighting and wasted light
- Hear information about light levels, uniformity, and luminaire choices that enhance the space, not necessitating baseball caps to control the glare!
