"Light and Public Places"-

"The interweaving of focal glow, ambient luminance, and the play of brilliants is essential to all public realms. Focal glow is like a sunburst throughout the clouds. It commands attention, creates interest, and separates the important from the unimportant. Ambient luminance is necessary for revealing forms and is vaporous, like the interior of a while tent at high noon. It fills people with a sense of freedom of space and suggests infinity. The play of brilliants is a ballroom of crystal chandeliers, a heaven full of stars, or the magic of Christmas trees. It is fantasy; It excites us; It charms the senses. Each of these elements of light play, however, can be spiritless and distracting if used alone". Richard Peters
