The bar for great design has been raised and the competition for the viewers’ attention has increased dramatically. Creating a positive emotional response in the viewer is one of the keys to the success of a project. We will discuss the world competition that is taking place and how you and great lighting design are involved in it. Projects like the Cosmopolitan “Chandelier” in Las Vegas, The Hudson Yards Retail in New York City and Beverly Hills Hotel will be reviewed.
John Flynn’s Research - John Flynn was a pioneer in researching how lighting effects our impressions and behavior. Bob Davis will give a summary of Flynn’s important work.
Creating an Emotion with Light is underwritten by GE Lighting
Dinner is included in the Full Symposium Registration package. Attendees will have the opportunity to view the color rooms once again during dessert.
This three-part session will explore and debate design assumptions and associated research findings specific to light’s effect on human behavior in educational facilities. Three highly qualified experts from the realms of lighting design and research will present their views on Connectedness (people with one another and their environments) and Comfort , including fresh perspectives on daylighting, glare, light patterns, “photic history,” and lighting control techniques. The desired outcomes of the speaker/audience interactions are 1) to highlight any direct connections between known research and lighting practice as they relate to human behavior in educational facilities, and 2) to identify key areas of research that could significantly inform and improve future design.

This session will examine what role lighting design can play in influencing human behavior in the nighttime outdoor environment. The presenters will illustrate design practice techniques used to exploit light's ability to reinforce, enhance, modify and manipulate behavioral response. They will offer up case study precedent work as well as established lighting design methodologies for such approaches. The goal will be to provide the designer's perspective on how these frequently applied methods can result in the apparent strengthening of desired behaviors.
Previous and ongoing research precedents will be cited to help explain why the design approaches empoyed in the real life application examples are, by many measures, successful. In certain cases, there may not be science to support such conjecture - or even some research that contradicts the practice - but why it might or might not still be an effective design methodology will be examined.
Both designers and researchers will offer a position on where future research can be focused that would be supportive of lighting practioners in the application area discussed.

This evening tour has been designed to permit symposium attendees to experience full-scale urban lighting environments that include the usual lighting for safety, security, vehicle and pedestrian traffic to lighting designed for selling and social situations where outdoor restaurants, show windows, parks and walkways involve personal interaction, selling and promotional functions or entertainment and relaxation.
The tour area is Cleveland’s historic Public Square which is surrounded on three sides by enclosing tall buildings, but open to wide streets and a large grassy mall on the fourth side looking north to the broad expanse of Lake Erie in the distance. The 4-block area dates from the founding of Cleveland in 1796 and is modeled after the open green spaces commonly found in 18th-century New England towns.
Public Square was one of the first public spaces in the world to be lighted with electric light (carbon arc lamps invented by Charles Brush in 1879). Now, for festivals and holiday celebrations, the LED-lighted Terminal Tower becomes a back-drop for outdoor performances and community events. During such times, streets are closed to traffic and the area becomes pedestrian only.
On the outdoor lighting tour, which consists of five stops where different lighting conditions can be experienced, there will be a special opportunity to contrast the visual and non-visual effects of traditional broad-distribution luminaires with street and sidewalk illumination levels of 30-50 lux to the more recent and energy-efficient practice of targeted lighting with minimum spill and upward light and with illumination levels of 0.5 – 1 lux. Mixing in lighted windows, signs, building floodlighting and decorative lighting results in quite a different effect that impacts vision, visual comfort and behavior.
Meet in the hotel lobby at 7:45pm. Dresss: Warm attire and comfortable shoes.
A nightcap reception will be held in the Whitehall Room following the walking tours. Join us for a nightcap and informal discussion with speakers, Nancy Clanton and Randy Burkett. You will have the opportunity to discuss the outdoor lighting applications from the tour.
Closing day remarks from Symposium Steering Chair, Kevin Flynn.
Morning session introductions by Rita Harrold, IES Director of Technology
The session will focus on the socio-cultural aspects of light that must be accounted for with respect to quality of light, both visual and non-visual, to satisfy the needs of patients and caregivers.
Complexities of healthcare facilities include the challenge of designing for a variety of space types (newborn to geriatric; patient rooms to operating theaters; visitors’ lounges to nursing stations), casual to critical seeing tasks, satisfying concerns for safety and successful patient outcomes, all with “patient first” as the mandate.
Traditionally, the effects of light, its sensory qualities, have not been acknowledged as much as the familiar measurable quantities such as illuminance, luminance, and watts per square foot. How do we identify and define quality lighting for the specific benefit of patient wellbeing? Does lighting play a role in improving patient response? Do patients enjoy a beneficial response to daylighting?
Collaboration between design professionals and behavioral scientists is critical to our understanding of how to use light to gain potential health benefits in patient care facilities.

This session follows presentations and discussions from leading lighting practitioners and researchers. Our task in concluding the symposium is to work with the audience to make connections between the ideas presented. By highlighting the areas where we have good understanding of how lighting can influence behavior, we can clarify the ways in which designers can confidently use lighting to influence human behavior. By identifying areas where effects are uncertain, or many questions remain unanswered, we will develop questions that researchers need to address. Our aim is that everyone will depart the symposium with enthusiasm for the power of light and lighting to enhance our quality of life.
