It is helpful for architects and interior designers and anyone who is interested in interior design. It was so applicable and easy to understand. It wasn't all about technical, numbers, and formulas about lighting but, it explains the concept of lighting simply and genuinely.

" The Architecture of Light" was purchased as a required textbook material for our Interior Design Lighting college course. I found this particular book to be an undeniable source of useful information. Thinking back about the textbooks used in college, I believe this manual to be one of the 5 most important books any Interior Design student/ professional should read and have in their own library for future use. Great book and an even greater value brought by it.
