The Need There is a need for a monument to light

Existing research institutions, expositions,

museums, and industry provide piece-meal

information, targeted towards specialized groups There is a need to cultivate integrated design

practices for high performance lighting applications

and improved aesthetics

There are two kinds of light--the glow that illumines, and the glare

that obscures
