Lighting References
Architectural Lighting by M. David Egan
Made of Light: The Art of Light and Architecture by Mark Major, Jonathan Speirs, Anthony
Tischhauser (2005) ISBN-13: 978-3-7643-6860-9 Very good inspirational book to promote light
as a design element. Written after they developed a traveling exhibit in Europe by the same title.
Light + Design: A guide to Designing Quality Lighting for People and Buildings. (IES DG-1808) authored by Quality of the Visusal Environment Committee, IESNA (2008) ISBN 978-087995-231-0 This could be considered for a textbook with a few supplemental chapters from
other books. It includes the IES Lighting Design Guide.
Advanced Lighting Design supposedly has a new edition available on-line (2009), but I can't
seem to get it. http://www.newbuildings.org/advanced-lighting-guidelines is the
link to the 2003 version. The guide is through New Building Institute and is very good, detailed
information on all lighting topics.
