art and science of light elegantly brought together. . . . One of
the most valuable elements of this book is that one can either read
it through or randomly open the pages and read about one of the
many creative projects that explore different aspects of Light--
"California Home + Design"
The color photographs of the installations are numerous and
excellent, going well beyond commentary on design to reveal the
many manifestations and effects of light as an element of
architectural design.-- "Choice"
This fascinating book exhibits light as an art form on a global
scale... The work of architects, designers, artists, sculptors,
engineers, and painters is highlighted for their permanent
installations in churches, residences, public works, retail stores,
etc.--even the main stairwell of Versailles--as well as for their
temporal projects for arts festivals worldwide. In the age of
apocalyptic climate change, this book speaks volumes about the
value of art as light, both projected and immanent, of which works
here boast beyond the ordinary fluorescent and iridescent that
illuminate our environments-- "Library Journal"
