Description: "Lighting design, long regarded as a pragmatic and purely technical aspect of construction planning, has increasingly developed into a discipline of its own over the past years. This publication recognises recent developments by combining the technical sphere with an artistic perspective, centred on the role of natural and artificial light in the perception of a variety of landscapes." "The first section of the book describes techniques for creating nocturnal landscapes, analysing these landscapes according to topography (coastal, riverside, lakeside, mountain, forest, marsh, or quarry and industrial sceneries) and concept of illumination. The second part presents detailed documentations of 21 international case-studies in topographical order. The examples are drawn from all kinds of rural but also urban settings in Great Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Singapore, and other countries."--BOOK JACKET.
