INDUSTRY UPDATES Eight Projects Earn IALD Honors The International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) recognized eight lighting design projects for their outstanding and innovative lighting solutions during its 21st Annual IALD Awards presentation held in Las Vegas,NV. Three Awards of Excellence were earned: one in corporate; one in site/façade; and one in monumental structures/public spaces. Four projects earned Awards of Merit, one in the academic/ institutional category, two in retail/entertainment and one in corporate. Overall, the selected winners were chosen based on their aesthetic value and appropriate integration of the most effective and advanced lighting techniques.Winning designs were also recognized for incorporating low-energy lighting solutions with designs achieving highlevels of sustainability.This year, the IALD MetLife Building BMW Auto Center IALD Awards received 133 submissions from 11 countries. The IALD also announced one Radiance Award and one Special Citation. IALD’s highest honor, the Radiance Award, was presented to Award of Excellence winner J.K. Yao of Architectural Lighting Design, Taipei, Taiwan for his work on that city’s CKS International Airport, Terminal 1 Lighting Renovation. The IALD gives this award to the project earning the highest point score among winners. This project demanded the lighting designer include a new ceiling plan, and required construction to take place among normal ticketing/checkin routines.A low-maintenance ceiling profile was developed for maximum light output with minimal glare and lamp reflection.

applications & solutions • PHOTO: RICHARD BARNES A Trilogy of Light Renovation of the First Presbyterian Church of Encino, CA, focused on the twin goals of creating both a more spiritually uplifting and more energy-efficient building—all within a $1 million budget. Essential to achieving these goals was a three-pronged lighting strategy featuring PAR fixtures, fluorescent cove lighting and skylights. In 2003, Los Angeles-based architectural firm Abramson Teiger Architects was hired to handle the redesign. Its design for the nave included adding four curved panels emulating the cupped hands of the praying Madonna depicted in early Christian art. The white unpainted walls and surfaces throughout the church further enhance the panels. Church lighting veteran Bridget Williams of Bridget Williams Lighting Design,Apple Valley, CA, joined the project to ensure continuity between the architectural design and lighting design.“My approach was to follow along and strengthen the concept of the architect and add lighting to it,” said Williams. For daytime gatherings, a total of 14 skylights were specified, many of which are concealed by the panels.These openings filter just the right amount of sunlight into the nave to warm the space and cast a spiritual air. The challenge Williams faced was to mimic the sensation of natural light the parishioners enjoyed by day without drawing attention to its source.This had to be done without installing fixtures directly onto the panels’ smooth surfaces.Williams accomplished this by introducing a series of fluorescent cove lights positioned behind and around the panels with 12 ETC 575-W 120-V Source Four PARs at the soaring ceiling gable.The indirect coves and the direct effect of the PARs captured both the architect’s and Williams’s vision of spiritual reverie. However, the PAR fixtures installed as high as 32 ft in the air posed a predicament, as maintenance was a major consideration for the parish. Williams lessened this dilemma by installing ETC Unison dimmers. “I knew the Unison dimming would prolong the life of the lamps,” Williams said. Incorporated into the Unison control system was a security-coded LCD station and two additional satellite keypads to control the lighting. A partition was created for the lobby control keypad to prevent lights inside the nave from being controlled from the lobby. Using the Unison controls,Williams programmed “presets” to create particular lighting scenes, designating them wedding, morning service, evening service, choir practice, clean-up. An additional five scenes were left blank for the client to define as needed. LVH Entertainment Systems of Oxnard, CA, supplied and installed both the architectural and theatrical lighting fixtures as well as the control system. Meanwhile, the centerpiece of the nave is a 16 ft-tall white cross, which is secured by a reinforced steel beam attached to the wall.Three 19 degrees framed ellipsoidal Source Four were used to bring out this spectacular visual centerpiece by sharpening the focus for crispness, which was then dimmed to 80 percent for lamp longevity. Hiding the Source Fours was not an option because the light had to hit the cross straight on. —John-Michael Kobes The Project: The First Presbyterian Church of Encino, Encino CA The Challenge: Create a lighting plan that worked well with the architectural redesign The Solution: PARs, skylights and fluorescent cove lights, dimmers and control systems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . www.iesna.org 39 LD+A June 2004
