Seminars

This presentation will address common lighting issues that affect architects and interior designers. Discussion topics will range from lamp types, lighting effects and light-cove design, to more advanced subjects, such as reading a cut sheet, the importance of maintenance, and how to avoid scalloping, socket shadows and hot spots. The purpose is not to turn everyone into a lighting designer. Rather, attendees will come away with a better understanding of lighting and its vocabulary to improve their dialogue with lighting professionals.

Speakers: Paul Boken, LC, holds a fine arts degree in theatre production with a major in lighting design and a postgraduate certificate in architectural lighting design from Ryerson University. He is a senior designer at Mulvey + Banani Lighting, in Toronto. Paul is active in IESNA as local co-chair of education.

Brad Hindson, MArch, is an intern architect with Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects. He was project architect for Nota Bene restaurant, the redesign of Commerce Court West’s lobby and the “Light Play” installation at Young Dundas Square at last year’s Luminato festival. Brad is also the co-creator of Studio F Minus, which produces interactive, light-based art.
