a new study in light
​
Advancing engineering education and research through engagement and collaboration, Norm Asbjornson Hall's dynamic central commons contains spaces for group and individual study. A variety of lighting strategies support multiple learning and gathering modalities, enhancing placemaking at a variety of scales throughout.

The high volume of the commons presented design challenges and opportunities. Expressive lighting elements at the gathering stair creates a sense of place and scale.

Riverfront Park
Spokane WA
lighting pedestrian connections
​
The site of Expo ’74, Riverfront Park has been redeveloped to cultivate a more functional open space within the city and reinforce pedestrian connections between downtown and the northern bank of the Spokane River. The lighting design creates cohesive lighting strategies for different circulation types throughout the park, provides wayfinding legibility for the primary connector through the park, and develops inviting experiential lighting to establish spaces for gathering and pause.
​
Inspired by the built and natural elements of the park, the lighting design creates an inviting, visually rich environment that encourages visitors to use the park at all times of the day.
