Richard Kelly, Mies Van de Rohe & Philip Johnson - The birth of architectural lighting design.

Podcast 2 ventures into the birthplace of lighting design.  Antony and Jackson discuss three important figures in the history of Lighting Design.  Mies Van de Rohe, Philip Johnson and Richard Kelly.  With the arrival of glass boxes in the mid 20th Century – lighting faced some new difficulties and challenges.  How exactly does one light a glass box reveals the importance of lighting design to solve problems that architects had previously never encountered before.  While the work of Mies and Johnson is revered – it is Kelly who is relatively unknown outside of lighting circles – who resolved the detail resolution of lighting space and architecture to create a wholly new discipline of design.
