ArchitectureWeek Description
From the mundane to the bizarre, to the strictly functional to the wildly ostentatious, Jane Pavitt introduces us to some of the most creative ways to artificially illuminate as well as the up and coming names in contemporary lighting, including Ron Arad and Karim Rashid. Pavitt also focuses on experimental uses of light in the designed environment and delves into heat-resistant fabrics, "cool" light sources, and new materials that pulse and glow without wires. She is also the curator of Brillian (2004), the Victoria & Albert Museum's first ever exhibit on lighting, which is accompanied by this book. The exhibit runs February - May 2004.
