IES Technical Luncheon: Revealing Architecture at Night – Saving the lit facade from extinction

November 21, 2018 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm EST

$25 – $65

Is façade lighting and the lit skyline approaching extinction? What does the future hold? Will the modern culture of sustainability result in the end of our lit skyline? Architecture informs and shapes a city’s skyline, and lighting of these buildings helps to create an identity and culture in a city. As we all know however, this “Architecture of the Night” is the target of many organizations in the pursuit of energy, wildlife, and night sky conservation. How do we save façade lighting from extinction?

This seminar will discuss the future of the city skyline at night. We will look at the history of how we lit building exteriors and transition to addressing the common issues of lighting buildings and architecture in the modern age. We will discuss the common issues we all face when lighting buildings and structures as we move toward sustainability.

Presenter:
Paul BrokenPaul holds a Fine Arts Degree in theatre production, with a major in lighting design, and a postgraduate certificate in architectural lighting design from Ryerson University, Toronto, ON, Canada. After starting his career with six years in theatrical lighting design, Paul is now in his eleventh year of practice in architectural lighting design as the Vice-President of the architectural lighting design firm Mulvey & Banani Lighting in Toronto, ON, Canada.

Paul has won numerous awards for lighting design on projects locally and internationally, most recently he was short listed for a DARC award for his work lighting the Prince Edward Viaduct Bridge in Toronto. Paul’s theatre lighting background has acted as a path into his growing specialty in lighting for attractions, bridges, cultural monuments and buildings with projects around the globe. Recently Paul’s team was elected to re-light Niagara Falls unveiled in November 2016. Paul is continuously involved with lighting education by sharing his knowledge and approach to design in hopes to inspire industry professionals and students in an effort to contribute to, and advance, the lighting design profession.
