CIBSE 2009 Annual Lecture
It has long been said that lighting is a combination of art and science. This year’s CIBSE Annual Lecture, presented by the SLL at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, will consist of two talks that explore each aspect of this combination, beginning with the historical perspective and then looking towards the future.
The Scientists
Dr. Bryson Gore and Dr. Frank James will begin the lecture with a talk on the work of the Royal Institution from the times of Faraday, painting a picture of the scientific fervour that led up to the formation of SLL’s original incarnation as the Illuminating Engineering Society in 1909. In addition to anecdotes about the pioneers of the past, the talk will include artefacts and demonstrations from the Royal Institution’s marvellous collection.
The Designer
Multiple award winning designer Jonathan Speirs will postulate in our second talk that architectural lighting design is primarily about creativity, about inspiration, about the idea. During 25 years in the international arena of architectural lighting design, Jonathan Speirs has been responsible for significantly and consistently promoting the creative approach to light in our built environments. His talk entitled ‘Creativity, Creativity, Creativity!’ will present visual examples of creative lighting design around
the world looking to the past, the present and into the future.
One Response to “CIBSE 2009 Annual Lecture”
Great Recording!
Loved the detailed recording of the experiments and Mr. Speirs presentation.
I had a small problem with my flash player which caused the video to crash, called the company and they helped me get it up and running in 5 minutes on a saturday evening!
