The Creative Touch by Carol Soucek King
The fifth volume in a series devoted to the use of design materials, this vividly
illustrated book explores the wonder that light can perform on interior spaces.
Designing with Light: The Creative Touch shows how designers and architects
use light to vitalize objects, surfaces, and environments throughout the building. The author
brilliantly reveals the importance of lighting design as an essential and often unifying element.
In these pages, we see how natural and artificial light, in the past used to perform a
sole function, now has a multitude of new roles. Light has the power to characterize and
accent rooms; it can convey an aura of intimacy, provide a touch of sophistication and
provocatively enhance architural details with special effects.
The examples in this book are all residential, but the principles, the ideas, and the effects
can be translated and used in many other settings, including commercial buildings, restaurants,
schools, theatres, and all areas where a certain atmosphere is desired, and lighting design can
provide it.
