Illuminating Engineering Society Recognizes Illumination Arts
|
IA was honored to have two projects from very
different market sectors presented with prestigious awards from the IESNA.
National Audubon Society Headquarters
 Designed to meet the
highest levels of aesthetic, functional and sustainable design goals, The National Audubon Society Headquarters was awarded LEED-CI Platinum
certification, with the most points ever awarded a project in t hat
category. Working with architect FXFOWLE, Illumination Arts designed a
lighting system that garnered all of the lighting-related LEED points
available, including three for Energy Optimization and one each for Lighting
Controls and Controllability of Systems.
Biloxi Bay Bridge
 The Biloxi Bay Bridge restored the connection between two communities that had
been severed following the demolition of the original bridge during Hurricane
Katrina. Illumination Arts teamed with Parsons and Touchstone
Architecture in developing a lighting design for the bridge that celebrates
this connection, both literally and symbolically. Illumination Arts'
lighting design for the bridge spans the bay from shore-to-shore and ties the
bridge to the water and earth, expressing the strength of the structure and the
resiliency of the two communities.
