Presenter:
The Art of Lighting: An Exploration of the Necessity and Power of Light in Design
In this lecture, Shawn Sullivan, a principal architect at Rockwell Group, will discuss the incredible power and importance of light in design. Lighting has the power to transform space, defi ne colors and textures, reveal shapes, create narrative and assert theatricality, among many other essential characteristics. Light has always been a central focus of Rockwell Group’s designs, which often draw inspiration from the intersection of theater and architecture. Sullivan will discuss the spectacle and theatricality of light not only in terms of Rockwell Group’s own work, but also in the context of other sources of inspiration, whether they be live temporary events like rock concerts, Broadway performances or fi reworks. Whether using light to create movement, for subtle detailing or for bold reinforcement of the architectural concept, lighting is everything. Sullivan has led many of these projects for the fi rm, including Nobu restaurants all over the world; Canyon Ranch Living in Miami Beach, Fla.; Adour Alain Ducasse at the St. Regis New York; and the Belvedere Hotel in Mykonos, Greece.
