ERCO Light Perspectives Book

Now it is here – the new ERCO Book!

We worked on the architectural lighting illustrations for the publication over the last year, and we are really happy to finally see it coming to the stores. The first concept meeting was almost exactly 2 years from now, but there had a lot of concept work to be done before actual production could start.

As always, the timeline was shorter in the end than in the beginning, so one of the projects took approximately a week from scratch over sketches, modelling, surfacing, lighting and then final rendering in approximately a dozen layers. And there are many many more images than the selection you are seeing here.

If you would like to see a sample chapter, or learn more about when the book will be available on Amazon:

What are the intrinsic qualities of light, and how are the techniques and design approaches implemented in architecture? How are abstract lighting concepts conveyed, and how far is our perception of light rooted in the biological and cultural history of human evolution? This book endeavours to identify terms and standards which relate to qualities in architectural lighting. It uses this identification to promote communication and aid dialogue between designers and engineers, building owners and planners, professionals and laymen.

The experimental layout here was actually an error during upload, but as all illustrations were created over a rigid camera raster, it still looks fine and i decided to like it.
