Bolder, brighter, and more entertaining than ever before, new trends in architectural lighting have changed our perception of permanent installations, adding fun and flair to retail and to restaurants, as well as helping turn malls, museums, aquariums, and libraries into entertainment venues!
Lighting fixtures from the stage and screen are turning up in all kinds of architectural applications, with gobos and patterns adding color, movement, and a sense of surprise to walls, sidewalks, ceilings, and windows. Lighting designers with theatrical training are crossing over into the architectural arena while architectural lighting designers are borrowing theatrical techniques to add allure to their projects.
At Lighting Dimensions, we've been writing about entertainment lighting and architectural lighting for over 25 years, and have an expert eye when it comes to the drama of "architainment" lighting. Our features cover the most spectacular new projects, with a look at design trends and techniques as we take you behind the scenes to meet the designers. We also cover hot products, cutting-edge technology, and breaking news about industry issues to keep you up-to-date on everything you need to know, from LDs to LEDs.
We invite you to join us as we explore the exciting merger of architectural lighting and entertainment... after all, that's architainment!
