Tina Aghassian - Principal, Horton Lees Brogden Lighting Design, USA
What attracted you to lighting design to make your career in it?
I have always been attracted to architecture,
art and design. My education is in interior architectural design and I discovered lighting when I was working for a lighting design firm during my studies. I liked the appeal of working on a variety of wonderful projects with amazing architects and landscape architects. Lighting design is a relatively unknown profession to those outside the industry. It was not something I would have known about had I not worked for a lighting design firm.
How do you go about working on a lighting design project? How do you decide your core idea or concept?
I start with the essence of the architecture - understanding the building, the designer, keeping in mind the end users and envisioning the end result. My inspiration stems from the excitement of a new challenge and opportunity to help create and shape the architecture with light. The design ideas take shape as one becomes familiar with the building, the context of the project and as we brainstorm with the team. After meeting with the Architect and understanding the architecture or landscape my team and I like to create plan diagrams that define the space types, diagrams that show the hierarchy of light and the choreography of light. Next step is to look at inspirational images, understand the context of the project and the client by researching about them and finding images of surrounding areas. What is the culture of light in the area? Should the lighting be simple, architectural and functional or should it be dynamic and transform from day to night or
transform for events and celebrations? A great team with collaborative designers makes for a cohesive project with a clear vision.
"I liked the appeal of working on a variety of wonderful projects with amazing architects and landscape architects. Lighting design is a relatively unknown profession to those outside the industry. It was not something I would have known about had I not worked for a lighting design firm."
"The lighting design has to be supportive of the architect’s vision but at the same time should be unique and

How big a role does a sustainable lighting design solution play to make a building green?
It plays a very big role because sustainable lighting design solution is not only about achieving the watts per sq mt. The idea is to optimize performance without losing quality. If a lighting designer is involved from the conceptual stage it would be much easier as he/she can help the Architect integrate lighting in such a way that it not
only enhances the architecture, but also finds the perfect balance between sustainability and visual appeal. People
often use very less light to achieve a green certificate and they don’t care about practically and functionality.
Designs are made in a way to impress and functionality is ignored. In India , I feel lighting codes should be defined
by a body of lighting designers and not by electrical consultants or by big lighting brands. It is a specialized field and hence qualified people must handle it like it is done in Europe & the USA.
At what stage of an architectural project should lighting designers roped in? What is the general international practice?
As early as possible. General international practice is to involve a lighting designer from the conceptual stage itself.
How easy or difficult is it for you to present your own lighting design concept and make it stand out over the Principal Architect’s design concept?
That’s a tricky question ! I think that through time most architects and interior designers have started accepting that they cannot do it all and the fact that they require specialized people. At the end of the day, our job is to enhance their work and match their vision.
When Architects make 3D presentations, they show lighting in night view but in reality most of them don’t know
"In India , I feel lighting codes should be defined by a body of lighting designers and not by electrical consultants or by big lighting brands. It is a specialized field and hence qualified people must handle it like it is done in Europe & the USA."
how to achieve it . In maximum cases a 3D animator puts global or linear lights simply by taking the concept from the internet. We need to understand that a professional designer would make sure the light that he/she is recommending is maintenance friendly. One has to be realistic and practical when designing lighting ,especially in India. This is the sole reason that most of our buildings designed by international lighting designers are not maintained.
Developers use international designers to sell their projects but it doesn’t run in Indian market. International designer come with a brand name and local designer are expected to provide international services. They are ready to pay more to an international designer but not to a local lighting designer. This is the reason International Association Lighting Designers (IALD) Indian Chapter was formed so that we have quality designers who follow set standards and who are at
par with International ones.
Also in our country if one designer has messed up a high end project then the entire design community takes the beating for it. In IALD India we have qualified designers who have years of experience.

When Paul Laverty joined his local Rotary Club eight years ago, his vision was to help others and make a difference in the community.
The 72-year-old retired arborist “planted the seed” for Council to plant 100 trees to commemorate the centenary celebrations of Rotary in Australia.
A mix of crepe myrtles, jacarandas and eucalyptus trees now line the paths of Amour Park at Revesby, leaving a lasting legacy and a canopy for the community to enjoy.
Mr Laverty said he was thrilled with the outcome of the tree planting and was keen to continue working on other similar projects across the community.
“I know from my professional background how much trees help people. They act as nature’s air conditioning and can lower the air temperature by a degree and a half!” Mr Laverty said.
“A lot of the trees here are large eucalypts that will grow into really impressive specimens.”
Canterbury-Bankstown Mayor Bilal El-Hayek marked the completion of the project last Friday by unveiling a special limestone plaque at Amour Park.
“The trees are a fitting reminder of the unwavering commitment that Rotary has brought to our community over the past century,” Mayor El-Hayek said.
“Their fundraising has helped so many locals through hosting barbeques, running community markets and offering support during times of natural disasters.”
Mayor El-Hayek added Council is committed to greening our City and over the past two years has planted more than 2,000 trees, thanks to the NSW Government Greening our City grant.
“This is a fantastic initiative in line with our vision to increase the tree canopy in our City and reach sustainability goals.”
The 100 years of Rotary Celebration is a collaboration between City of Canterbury Bankstown and the Rotary Club of Padstow Inc, funded by NSW Government Greening our City program.

What's Happening with the Wetland Now?
When asked EJ Guadet, What is happening with
the wetland now? EJ Guadet spoke for our backyard saying, "I'm Freezing".
The last thing you heard about the Sanborn
Wetland was the fact that we actually have one. The wetland
is frozen for now but, the students of Project World have been brainstorming
ideas of how we can share and preserve the wetland come Spring.
Well, we're back! Our plans for the wetland
are going into effect. We are in the process of creating a trail
and boardwalk through the wetland, a granite arch way for the entrance,
and benches made of stone and wood. All these projects are now going
into effect and lots of hard work has already been put towards Sanborn's
future wetland. Our hopes for the wetland are becoming a reality.
Jason Loik with the Assistance of Mr. A Taylor
is creating a design for the archway. He has the size and shape and
is now working out the details. The archway will be made of Granite
found in the wetland that is believed to be steps from the Kingston Town
Hall that burned down. The Granite was then thrown into the wetland
that, back then, was seen as the town dump. Loik is designing stencils
of the 4 elements of nature, (Earth, water, fire, and wind) that he will
sandblast into the Granite.
Jessie Robie, Ian Perkins, Sondra Perry, and
Tom Wilhelm have joined forces and created a map of the wetland including
where the boardwalk and trail will be. They are in the process of
getting a permit to begin construction.
Jim Consentino and Dan Mercurio will be making
benches. Consentino is working with Mr. D Taylor to create benches
out of wood. Mercurio hopes to create his benches out of the same
granite Loik is. Both are working on designs and technique.
We are getting excited about the future of
Sanborns wetland. As soon as the permit is passed we will begin building.
The hope is to begin in late March. If you would like to help see
a friend in Project world, EJ Gaudet, Mrs. McAskill or Mrs. Pudlowski.
Stay tuned for the next wetland update in the Project World Connection.


The last couple months have been so very busy. I feel like I am way busier now that I was when I worked full time without kids! It seems like every other day we have something going on!
One of the things we have had going on was a big project.
Our Back Yard.
When we bought our home three years ago, the one thing we wanted to do was have the back yard completely ripped out and redone. The yard was…well…ugly…but most importantly it was impractical for a young family. There was a large deck that took up most of the space as well as very large planter boxes that lined the space. The deck itself was starting to fall apart with nails beginning to pop up and wood rotting underneath. There was no space for little ones to actually run around and play. No grass.
Then there was the odd placement of concrete and pavers…it was like an ugly patchwork quilt!
So finally after three years, we took the plunge and hired a landscaping company to come out and redo the entire space. The project was finally officially complete this last Friday and we LOVE IT!!!! And I wanted to share what we did!!
And then…this little beauty was left by the last owners of the house and it was so hideous we just had to keep it.
What We Had Done
- Everything ripped out, including the rear deer fence
- New patio (pavers) and walk way
- Rock wall
- Planter boxes
- New plants planted
- New irrigation system
- Play Area (My husband put the play house and climber together)
- New deer fence (we pushed it back about 3-4 feet up the hill from the original)
- New plants in the front yard (not pictured)
- New concrete patio (extended original) in front yard (not pictured)
It was a HUGE project and we are SO HAPPY with it!! What do you think? If you could take on a big home project right now, what would you have done?


Tony and I recently visited Hirosaki Castle in hopes of spotting the first cherry blossoms of the season. Hirosaki Castle is one of the most famous blossom sighting spots in Japan, having over 2600 trees planted among the castle grounds. Noted historian and author Shiba Ryōtarō praised Hirosaki as one of the “Seven Famous Castles of Japan”
Constructed in 1611, Hirosaki Castle is beautiful during every season of the year. Although we were too early to see the cherry blossoms, we were enchanted by the layout of the grounds surrounding the castle. Each area is designed to highlight a different feature such as water, rock, or bamboo.

Deep Learning water project at St. Anne CES featured at PTBO ReFrame Festival
Jan. 26, 2021
Students and staff at St. Anne Catholic Elementary School in Peterborough whose Deep Learning project to transform a flooded section of the school property into a “learning laboratory” have been featured in a short film currently being screened during the annual 2021 Peterborough ReFrame Film Festival, which runs throughout January.
Teacher Anne Corkery, who was the recent winner of a national environmental education award, and her Grade 7 class are featured in the film “Headwaters to Hearts”, a short film by GreenUP, which tells the story of the classroom deep learning experience, which transformed their relationship with water and protected the local watershed.
The film showcases the project to reforest and landscape a section of the St. Anne CES schoolyard to create a buffer zone to prevent springtime flooding.
In the process, students planted pollinator gardens, a rich arboretum of native plant species and a rain garden to address drainage issues and they drew deeper lessons about the health of their community’s watershed and their stewardship roles.
“We worked to cultivate a sense of appreciation for nature and for water so that they feel this sense of ownership and stewardship over this eco system that we’re building out back,” Corkery says in the film. “My students have taken the role of the planners, working closely with our funding partners and landscape architects to develop a space which will meet the needs of all human and non-human stakeholders.”
The film captures the passion of the student participants.
“Now I can 100% say that I’m a plant nerd. I love plants. It’s just so fascinating,” explained then Grade 7 student Rees Tewsley who was featured in the film. “It turned into so much more than an experience, it’s a lifetime worth of learning.”

Downtown Chatham Streetscape – Online Material 2014
Thank you to all who participated in the September 4 event at the Civic Centre where the detailed streetscape design was on display.
Below is a link to an updated website containing much of the material produced to date regarding the Downtown Chatham Streetscape Design project. There is more to come.
Since early June, municipal staff have engaged the downtown community in preparing a detailed streetscape design. After a series of events intended to shape the project outcome, the design is nearly complete. The completed block-by-block detailed design will serve to facilitate future decisions regarding capital project implementation, including sidewalk reconstruction.
One design element that still under consideration is the furnishing style. The September 4, 2014 presentation (Page 36-40) shows a contemporary option (this is not final) over reproduced Victorian inspired furnishings (benches, lights, receptacles, bike racks). I welcome any comments on this design element – they will influence the recommendation to Council coming later this year.
Notable is the design option for the Cenotaph / Sixth Street / Memorial Plaza (Page 54-59 of the September 4, 2014 presentation). The proposal suggests higher end paving stone, special plantings, lighting, etc. to enhance this central, special, and connected downtown space.
Please contact me anytime to discuss this downtown Chatham project. Links follow:
Downtown Chatham Streetscape Design
The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is planning to reconstruct some of the downtown streets in Chatham over the next couple of years. The first step in achieving this change is to undertake a public consultation process to review such things as sidewalks, lighting, cafes & patios, accessibility, trees, street furniture, safety, on-street parking, etc. A final streetscape design is to be completed in September, 2014.

|Festiva Maxima - herbaceous peony|
|Minuet Mountain Laurel|
If you are looking for a shrub with a 'Wow!' factor I recommend the Minuet Mountain Laurel. Right now this shrub is 2 feet high but it will grow up to 5 feet high and the same size around. The stamens appear to be sewn through each petal. Just amazing. The leaves are a shade of green that compliment the dark pink bud and the light pink blossom so perfectly. No fragrance (I like all things in my garden to have a scent) however, the detail of each flower make this laurel so worth it! It does well in sun to partial shade and that works great for Spring in the Pacific Northwest.

I love trees. Old trees, new trees. Today several people in large trucks came and took out 75% of the trees behind the building where I work. It is really sad and changes the whole feel of the place. Why can't people slow down and think about it before they rip down beautiful things in the name of progress and strip malls- we have plenty of those.

OMAIO a maori name meaning “place of peace, quiet and tranquility”, is our coastal property of 18 acres (7.28 hectares) on the Takatu peninsula, one hour’s drive north of Auckland and 5 minutes from Matakana. Islands, Kawau, Goat, Rabbit and The Bee Hive in Kawau Bay, are viewed from the log cabin. The cabin nestles in a NZ native bush setting with the largest of the feature trees being a Puriri estimated to be between 800 & 1,000 years old. While the planting is predominantly native, there is a fusion of other carefully selected plants which suit the location and setting. The garden surrounding the cabin is laid out in curving, flowing shapes reflecting the waves and coastal shapes beyond.


Plant Type: Graminoid
Life Cycle: Perennial
Habitat: Just about anywhere.
Description: A fast growing large grass. Bamboo can grow inches per day in its native habitat and can reach 20 feet in height in much of the US. It grows in large clusters and tends to be a very invasive plant wherever it is introduced. Being a grass, it spreads by rhizome.
Edibility: Bamboo shoots are edible and are quite common in many different cuisines.
Utilitarian Uses: Bamboo is endlessly useful. What can't you do with bamboo. Besides it obvious uses as a food and a building material when lashed together, it also can be useful for creating fire-by-friction using the bamboo firesaw method. Tinder can be gathered from the inside of the stalk for this method. Bamboo can be used to make a good fish spear. I have even used sections of the stalk to make a primitive airbrush-like device.
The list goes on and on.
Other Notes: Being a grass, bamboo is prolific and quite hardy. It can survive freezing and flooding and grows from the base, not the tip.

When it comes to outdoor lighting, bridges can make a stunning visual accent in any nightscape. Whether you’re looking for romantic soft lighting or an enchanting show of vibrant colors, bridge lighting design can be done creatively and effectively. With careful planning, taking into account considerations such as the layout of the bridge and its surrounding environment, your design efforts will pay off. To help you get started on developing a fabulous bridge lighting design, we’ve put together this list of 10 essential tips that we think you should keep in mind for success!
What Is Bridge Lighting And Why It Is Important?
The bridge lighting is an amazing way to highlight the structural beauty of a bridge, create an ambiance in its surroundings and also provide safe passage for pedestrians and motorists. Also, bridge lighting means more than just aesthetics. During the night, bridge lighting can improve visibility and make bridges safer.
Bridge lighting is important for many reasons — it increases visibility and safety at night, helps to draw attention to the bridge’s unique characteristics, and can reduce energy costs. With careful planning and design, bridge lighting can be used to create an inviting atmosphere for visitors as well as a memorable experience.
1. Consider The Environment:
One of the most important considerations when planning bridge lighting is the surrounding environment and its impact on your design. Consider the bridge’s position to other structures and landscapes, such as surrounding buildings or trees.
2. Make Use Of Color:
Another great way to create ambiance with bridge lighting is by making use of colors. Depending on your desired effect, you can opt for subtle shades or vibrant hues. The light sources themselves can also be used to create a specific color palette.
3. Choose The Right Light Fixtures:
When selecting your lighting fixtures, be sure to consider factors such as lumens, wattage, and color temperature. High-quality fixtures are also important to ensure that your bridge lighting design looks great and lasts for years.
4. Utilize Indirect Lighting:
Imbue your space with a warm and exclusive ambiance by incorporating indirect lighting. This method allows the light to be reflected off surfaces such as walls and ceilings, creating a subtle and inviting atmosphere.
Different Types Of Bridge Lighting!
At OLAMLED we offer a range of different types of bridge lighting. From single lights to multi-light designs, there are plenty of options to choose from. Let’s take a look at different type of bridge lighting:
1. LED Strip Lights:
LED strip lights are a great way to add a unique and modern touch to your bridge lighting design. These lights come in a variety of colors, and they are also efficient, cost-effective, and easy to install. In addition, LED strip lights are ideal for accent lighting and highlighting specific features.
2. String Lights:
If you’re looking for a unique and whimsical way to light up your bridge, string lights are the perfect choice! Combine different colors and patterns to create a magical display of lights. A few strings of these lights can easily turn any bridge into a stunning showpiece.
Spotlights are a great way to focus light on specific areas and draw attention to certain features of the bridge. Spotlights can also be used to create interesting shadows and highlights on walls and other surfaces, making them a great choice for illuminating larger areas.
Floodlights are perfect for larger spaces and can be used to illuminate entire areas of the bridge. With these lights, you can also experiment with different angles and lighting levels to create a specific mood or atmosphere. Also, floodlights can be directed to highlight certain features or draw attention to a certain part of the bridge.
5. IP67 IP69k Lights:
Our IP67 and IP69k lights are an efficient and cost-effective way to illuminate your bridge.

If you do not want your garden to disappear at night, install good outdoor lighting. In many occasions the decoration and protection of the home, is focused on the interior. But what about the exterior?
Your garden should reflect your personality, decorate it to your liking and improve the security of your home.
A simple way for your gardens to become a cozy and safer place is to install outdoor lighting. It is not only necessary to have good lighting in summer; in winter, when the nights are longer, and we find fog and bad weather, good lighting is more important than ever.
If you do not know how to go about picking out the right lighting, here are some ideas to improve the lighting of your garden:
- Place lights along areas where there is traffic such as the road, main entrance and garage. In this way, you improve the security of your home by increasing the visibility of the entrances and exits. Besides illuminating these areas well, accidents can be avoided because there will not be a lack of light. For this you can use high power spotlights, such floor lights which can be purchased at any home improvement store.
- Light up the elements of your garden: highlight those elements of your garden that you like. You can light up tall trees, like small shrubs, flowers, a small pond or fountain. Anything. The trick is to hide the light well and focus the elements correctly so that they truly illuminate what you want them to see, and do not create shadows that instead of illuminating, hide what you want to display. Play with the colors and spotlight combinations, make your garden be eye-catching at night.
- Place lights in such a way to create a path: create a path of lights towards the entrance. This in addition to improving visibility at night, makes your garden look much more modern and cozy. For this you can opt for two options: recessed lights in the ground or pathway lights. We recommend this last type of lighting: it does not waste electricity, as most now come as solar powered, and although they do not give much light, it is enough to light the way.
- Place torches or candle holders: this type of lighting is purely decorative. It is obviously for the good weather, and will give a very warm look to your garden. These can be placed within the garden if you’re hosting a party or as holiday decorations.

KICB allocated KGS 250 000 to installation of the drip irrigation system of planting in Erkindik boulevard in Bishkek and purchase of lawn mowers for grass on the lawns of the boulevard. The drip irrigation system was installed in Erkindik Boulevard on about 1 hectare. Owing to this system, water goes directly to roots of the rosary-beds ensuring constant moisture of the root system. Water in this watering system goes individually to the roots of each plant, thus, the quantity of water going to each bed can be adjusted individually in each metering dipper. Thus, drip irrigation enables to save irrigation water significantly creating more effective watering. The special four-chamber hoses made in Turkey, which have special holes each 20 sm, where water goes to the plants, were bought for installation of the irrigation system.
«Introduction of such system visually demonstrates transition to new technologies of planting irrigation. In addition, water for irrigation of the plants is spent four times less. Water is provided pointwise without losses as it was before. I would like to express my gratitude to KICB bank for provided financial support in installation of the drip irrigation system», - said Kubanychbek Kulmatov, the Mayor of Bishkek city.
Over the last years, the boulevard significantly changed due to financial investments of the Bank into improvement of the boulevard. For this period, the Bank invested over KGS 3 million into renovation of the cable system of electric lightening in the boulevard from the railway station to Chui avenue; unbreakable lampshades were brought and installed; energy-saving lamps were installed; new litter bins were installed; benches and, of course, beautiful arbors were reconstructed protecting from the sun and rain that in their strength and reliability can serve for 40 years.

Urban Commissions, a design competition set up by Dubai Design District (d3) and Dubai Culture & Arts Authority to engage with the UAE’s creative community and promote its diverse production industries, announces SUPERFUTUREDESIGN* as this year’s winner.
Urban Commissions was launched in October 2014 to engage design students and professionals residing in the UAE. The brief for the competition’s third edition was to design a ‘communal table’ with various seating combinations that celebrates the Emirati tradition of gathering for conversation, collaboration and respite. The winning design is to be produced with a grant of AED 50,000 and placed within the urban landscape of d3 in 2017.
SUPERFUTUREDESIGN*, a creative lab founded by four Italian partners in Dubai in 2009, wins with Mu.TABLE. This series of simple, minimalist, modular elements is composed of concrete volumes, and Marine Plywood tabletops mitred at 45 degree angles to lock into a welded steel structure without the use of screws. Tables are alternated with concrete blocks that secure the structure into place. The larger blocks serve as planters for olive trees which create shadows and integrate nature. The smaller blocks can be used as device charging stations if located close to an electrical outlet. As it is a modular system, more tables can be added to create an infinite array of possibilities, and the whole configuration can be easily relocated with the help of a forklift.
“We wanted to respect the budget constrains and use materials that are simple but also flexible and easy to replace in case of damage. We come from Tuscany, which has some of the most beautiful countryside in the world, so we wanted to incorporate greenery in the concrete planters as we know how important it is to have nature around us. The olive tree is also the symbol of peace, so we thought it would be perfect for a table that caters to so many different people and cultures,” said Cecilia Morosi, Design Director of the company.
The Italian partners at SUPERFUTURE*, Andrea Sensoli, Cecilia Morosi, Andrea Rettori and Iacopo Mannelli, studied at the University of Architecture in Florence before founding their practice ASZarchitetti in the city in 1998. They opened their office in Dubai in 2009. Mu.TABLE will unveiled at a VIP ceremony on 13th March, the opening day of Design Days Dubai, before moving to its permanent home in the urban landscape of d3.
Mohammad Saeed Al Shehhi, COO of Dubai Design District (d3) commented:
Urban Commissions is a dynamic initiative and is key to our vision of ensuring that d3 supports the region’s local talent to showcase their work to an international audience. At d3, we are delighted to be partnering with initiatives like this that contributes our vision of creating a home for creativity designed by the community, for the community. We would like to congratulate the SUPERFUTUREDESIGN team for their astounding work, and we are looking forward to welcoming the Mu.TABLE to d3”.
This year, Urban Commissions received 80 high calibre submissions from individuals and collaborative groups from 24 nationalities at varied stages in their design careers. They demonstrated increasing interest in introducing urban design into Dubai’s existing public spaces and proved as wide-ranging as Dubai’s citizens.
Highly-commended shortlisted submissions included:
· Dhow, a concept inspired by traditional Emirati sailing vessels used for transportation and pearl diving, designed by Alya AlEghfeli & Jawaher AlKhayyal
· Hi Lo Shade, which consists of two tables and a vertical ‘arish’ shade woven from local palm, designed by Sarah Faruki
The jury members consisted of a selection of design-industry professionals and educators from the following leading institutions: Dubai Culture, d3, Zayed University and Sole DXB.
In support of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision to transform Dubai into an innovation-driven economy, the Urban Commissions initiative each year will focus on stimulating creativity in the UAE, inspiring the development of new technologies, creating smart and sustainable infrastructure, and driving entrepreneurship and small business growth within the arts and design sector. The 2017/2018 edition of Urban Commissions will open for submissions in late 2017.
