From lighting idea to built scheme

Christopher Cuttle organizes lighting design around three stages: Observation, Visualisation and Realisation. The book connects the search for ideas with technical planning and the practical work of carrying a scheme through, with attention to safety and effectiveness as well as appearance. Its scope places lighting within architectural and interior design practice, making the process—not simply the choice of fixtures—the central subject. This second edition includes diagrams and photographs, offering visual material alongside guidance on developing and executing a design.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Architecture and interior design students seeking a structured introduction to lighting design.
  • Practicing architects, interior designers and specialist lighting designers planning lighting schemes.

Book overview

Lighting by Design provides guidance on where to find inspiration for lighting ideas, how to plan the technical detail and how to execute the plan to create safe, effective and beautiful schemes. Christopher Cuttle's unique three level approach uses Observation, Visualisation and Realisation as the means to achieve these aims. Cuttle is a well known figure in the UK, US and Australia and New Zealand, with a wealth of experience of both teaching and practice. This new edition is fully updated and produced in full colour with many new diagrams and photographs. It will be immensely useful to professional and student architects, interior designers and specialist lighting designers.
