The history of electric light is well documented, [11] and with the developments in lighting technology the profession of lighting developed alongside it. The development of high-efficiency, low-cost fluorescent lamps led to a reliance on electric light and a uniform blanket approach to lighting, but the energy crisis of the 1970s required more design consideration and reinvigorated the use of ...
1835 James Bowman Lindsay demonstrates a light bulb based electric lighting system to the citizens of Dundee. 1841 Arc-lighting is used as experimental public lighting in Paris. 1853 Ignacy Łukasiewicz invents the modern kerosene lamp. 1856 glassblower Heinrich Geissler confines the electric arc in a Geissler tube.

Light from the sky can easily penetrate the upper storeys but not the lower, which rely primarily on light reflected from internal surfaces of the atrium such as floor-reflected light. [21] The upper stories need less window area than the lower ones, and if the atrium walls are light in color the upper walls will reflect light toward the lower ...
Richard Kelly (1910–1977) was an American lighting designer, considered one of the pioneers of architectural lighting design. [1] Kelly had already established his own New York-based lighting practice in 1935 before enrolling at the Yale School of Architecture. He graduated from there in 1944.
Lighting design as it applies to the built environment is known as 'architectural lighting design'. Lighting of structures considers aesthetic elements as well as practical considerations of quantity of light required, occupants of the structure, energy efficiency, and cost.
The history of architecture traces the changes in architecture through various traditions, regions, overarching stylistic trends, and dates. The beginnings of all these traditions is thought to be humans satisfying the very basic need of shelter and protection. [ 1 ]
