When it comes to beautifying homes with light, Glenn Johnson is universally recognized as one of the absolute masters of his art. At different points in his high-profile career, he has created designs that bring subtle warmth to Stephen Spielberg's art collection ... defined a relaxed aura for David Geffen's music sanctuary ... and unobtrusively illuminated the sumptuous details of mega-mansions for the likes of Iris and B. Gerald Cantor and Aaron Spelling. In The Art of Illumination: Residential Lighting Design, Glenn Johnson teaches the art and science of lighting design that he has practiced for more than 20 years. Look inside this long-overdue resource, and there are breathtaking examples from Johnson's own portfolio, along with previously unavailable details on how to apply light to aesthetically enhance each area of a home. Whether you're an architect, interior designer, contractor, or homeowner, you'll find a rich storehouse of ideas in the book's eye-opening full-color photographs, renderings, and CAD details of lighting applications. -- Book Description
