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.
