I-49 Connector: Lighting


BACK \| NEXT TOPICS introduction public process case studies alignments garden urbanism alt. street links public realm neighborhoods lighting sound study public art conclusion recognition	The main goals of the illumination study were to: (1) uncover the relevant issues, (2) determine their importance in the eyes of the community and the experts, (3) consider the available resources, and (4) propose a solution that would be responsive and appropriate. Background research was done to help achieve the aforementioned goals. Resources such as the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America Handbook as well as General Electric Lamp Catalog and Osram Sylvania Lamp Catalog were studied. Textbooks on fiber optic illumination were reviewed. Numerous issues of Lighting Design and Application and Architectural Lighting magazines were scanned for projects that implemented successful solutions to similar issues and challenges. Vendor-produced lighting fixture catalogs and manufacturers' representatives were also consulted. Operable samples of relevant lighting technology were procured and demonstrated. For the illumination study, one UL Lafayette architecture student provided ongoing support in the area of research and arrangements. Several UL Lafayette architecture students provided assistance in the preparation of visuals for presentation. Lighting concerns and proposed solutions which were developed during the Community Design Workshop were compiled into a booklet which outlined all of the considerations and strategies for this project.
