We are talking about lighting design today. There are some important reasons to have a lighting designer on your project. One is again, like I have mentioned earlier, lighting design is the fourth dimension of architecture. Daylight during the day in a space helps to reveal architectural form. At night when you don't have light you need to be able to use electric light to do that. A lighting designer can help to create the magic in a space. They can help to reveal the form and help to make that a space that people want to be in. Lighting is a very specialized field. There are over 5,000 different light bulbs and a lot of people don't realize that. It takes someone who understands when to use what light bulbs in what fixtures and when to apply those and how to apply those to space to be able to not only create that magic but also to get enough light. Lighting is for people. If we don't have enough lighting for them to do what they want to do whether that is reading, conversing over dinner, then the job is not done correctly.
