Under the lightfolio section you
can find some of the lighting design principles of Gabriel Mackinnon
reflected in different specific types of projects.
The criteria for the successful use of light obviously
goes far beyond the traditional illuminating engineering
standards of footcandles or lux levels. Relative luminance,
glare control, aiming angles, reflectance and color
of light are measurable considerations in today's design
work.
Science, theater and art must all
be combined when integrating light with architecture.
