THE BENEFITS OF A LIGHTING ADVOCATE: MEET CHICAGO LIGHTWORKS For straightforward lighting schemes, lighting designers typically have the wherewithal to specify and source their own solutions. But sometimes they have a creative or atypical vision and can’t find the right product to bring their design to life. This is where Chicago Lightworks, CLW, comes in. Representing more than 110 lighting product lines, the company has the latest products and technologies at its fingertips to help designers find that unicorn they’re looking for. Building and nurturing relationships with both manufacturers and lighting specifiers, the group often goes that extra mile to bring a successful project to the finish line.

For example, on a recent pair of high-profile projects for a high-profile specifier, the designer discovered some shadowing and LED diode imaging in the lens of the linear fixtures on the first project. Managing Principal Julie Blankenheim explains that her team was able to facilitate the factory changing the design flaw in the fixture for the second project and replace some of the installations on the first project.

A great example of a successful two-way street, the lighting manufacturer was very responsive to Chicago Lightworks’ request and the lighting designer trusted CLW to fix the situation, in lieu of pulling the product out of the second project. In a similar vein, the company can find the right person at the manufacturers they rep to help push an order through.

“With these supply chain challenges, you need Photo courtesy: Skydeck Chicago

to partner with your reps,” says Blankenheim.

“We can help drill down to find the right people at the factories to make your project a priority, if possible, or suggest an alternative. We are truly gratified when we can save a project in the midst of the current climate.”

ABOVE: Chicago Lightworks played a significant role in Chicago’s Willis Tower’s upgrade to its 109th and 110th floor spires. The process of changing colors went from a 4-hour, labor-intensive process to keystrokes on a wireless device.

More Than Products, Product Knowledge To stay abreast of advancements and changes in the products they represent, team members are assigned as champions for the different companies on their line card. As a successful company with many connections in the industry, CLW is approached by manufacturers asking to rep their lines on a weekly basis. But the firm agency will only take on a line that they believe they can actively and enthusiastically sell.

In addition, Chicago Lightworks’ dance card is already quite full and will only consider a new manufacturer if they have a product that provides a solution that CLW customers need and that the agency doesn’t already have. If the product passes that filter, an evaluation is made regarding whether the product’s addition will enhance their line card. Finally, the lighting manufacturer is vetted to determine if they are a company Chicago Lightworks is interested in working with and if they will be a true partner.

Fast Growing Since opening its doors in 2017, the company has rapidly grown from 19 to 54 people, working on high-profile projects like the O’Hare Terminal 5 Extension and relighting the Willis Tower spires with Color Kinetics technology.

For O’Hare’s T5 extension, more than 300,000 sq. ft. of new space was added. The gently raised © Giulio Pedota, Schuler Shook

ceiling creates a signature vaulted space that welcomes natural light and offers views across the airfield toward the Chicago skyline. Lighting design firm Schuler Shook worked closely with the design team at HOK and Muller and Muller to design a timeless, functional and clean aesthetic with small aperture downlights and hidden sources. Schuler Shook trusted Chicago Lightworks and their brands to help provide the products to achieve this.

MUNICIPAL BUILDING LIGHTING: MANCHESTER TOWER OF LIGHT

Manchester’s Sustainable Statement How did the city of Manchester communicate its desire for cleaner energy? They created a pristine white Tower of Light and a Wall of Energy with an inspired team of designers and technical artists led by London-based architectural firm Tonkin Liu. In function, the tower is a 131-ft-tall chimney for the power station that provides more sustainable heat and power to several of the city’s landmarks—town hall, central library, convention centre, and others. The exterior form of the tower demonstrates a “shell lace structure”, which makes a building as strong as possible with minimum materials—the basic tenant of sustainable design. Integrated LED lights, programmed in collaboration with lighting specialtower every 15 minutes creating Manchester’s eye-catching statement for sustainability.•

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO ON AT LAMBEAU FIELD Project: Lambeau Field Location, Green Bay, Wis. Stadium Capacity: 81,441 Photos: Crestron Electronics Text: Jeff Pitts The Challenge: Much has changed at home games for the NFL’s storied Green Bay Packers since the team first kicked off in 1919—they no longer dress at a nearby high school, for instance. Instead, Wisconsin’s proud pro-football franchise plays at Lambeau Field. The stadium’s capacity—approximately 80,000—has more than doubled since the team began occupying the hallowed gridiron back in 1957.

More than likely, most Packers fans—also known as “Cheeseheads”—are hyper-focused on the players and their on-field exploits and not the stadium’s lighting system, but for the people who work at Crestron Electronics, the lights at Lambeau Field are serious business.

Bill Schafer is one such person.

The team was also tasked with illuminating the crescentshaped Inscription Wall that flanks the Stone of Hope. Mintz and RBLD prepared numerous mock-ups, both in-studio and on-site to evaluate lighting strategies. The goal of the lighting on this element was to reveal and make legible the Wall’s carved text, 14 hand-carved quotations chosen from several of Dr. King’s speeches, while creating drama and a sense of place.

The final design featured below-grade luminaires that were installed near the base of the wall at an angle, which succeeded in visually pulling the text out of the background.

The elliptipar Style F164s from The Lighting Quotient were modified with internal cross-baffles and located within recessed troughs. The lighting shines through laminated glass panels that were mounted flush with the surrounding pavement. 3500K T5HO lamps were selected to complement both the color and scale of the granite wall panels.

“In the evening, the in-ground fixtures resemble theatrical footlights that heighten the experience of Dr. King’s words,” says Burkett. •

In terms of the visual environment, with the proliferation of social media and photo-centric sites, like Instagram, the interior has to help the food visually translate online because people are taking pictures of their main courses and posting them onto their feeds before they eat.

Here is a closer look at how some fast-casual spaces are using lighting and illumination to craft a brand identity that meets the needs of a fast, casual diner.

Bun Burger Shows Its Colors In Milan, an Italian hamburger chain, Bun Burger, had to appeal to a clientele that included patrons from the upscale Brera art and retail district and well as college students from the adjacent university. Spanish interior design studio Masquespacio gave the space a visual identity that is both mature and sophisticated and fun and vibrant. Design elements distinct to Bun’s identity are incorporated into this space, including arches, elevated benches, and signature furniture pieces like round stools, tables, seating pads, and light fixtures. Another key component of the Bun Burger brand: color.

Masquespacio’s sixth collaboration for this 1,100-sq.-ft. Bun lifts the traditional fast-food burger joint to a colorful, inviting fast-casual destination that opened in September 2021. For the Brera facility, pink, purple, green and yellow fill the restaurant’s interior in color-blocked patterns. Gold accents were selected to provide the hint of luxury that diners in this area may expect or appreciate. Other hues in the palette create both contrast and continuity in the space.

Christophe Panasse, a co-founder of Masquespacio, led the design team to create the interior architecture and the lighting plan for the space’s arch-framed alcoves and other space dividers that offer diners a diversion from typical open seating in fast-food establishments. options—in the alcoves or at tables in differentcolored sections—they can dine at the restaurant again and again and have a new experience every time,” explained Panasse.

A small area of the restaurant was designed to resemble a swimming pool. The half-tiled walls have a distinct natatorium style and the reflective iridescent blue and pink panels on the walls and ceiling create reflections with a wave-like quality.

Even the lighting fixtures on the walls resemble the circular windows often found underwater.

A Fast-Casual Food Court Once the home of the 1.1 million-sq.-ft. Sibley’s, Lindsay and Curr department store in Rochester, N.Y., a massive renovation has turned the c. 1907 building into offices, apartments, labs, retail, and a first floor food court, the Mercantile. The decade-long adaptive reuse project led by Winn Development became known as Sibley Square and is a prominent anchor for Rochester’s ongoing downtown revitalization.

Framing Moments of Meaning Idaho temple follows classic architecture, but also introduces modernity, including in the lighting.

CHALLENGE: The Pocatello Idaho Temple, perched atop a hill in Idaho’s Pocatello

Valley, is a stunning sight that can be seen for miles. The landscape architecture that surrounds the temple honors the significance of this place in the lives of church members.

Two-hundred-feet tall from its base to the tip of its spire, Pocatello Idaho Temple follows the classic architecture of other Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ temples, but it also introduces a streamlined, more modern style. The dramatic setting of the temple overlooking the valley “puts it on a podium,” says FFKR Senior Associate Abram Nielsen, lead landscape architect for the project.

As Nielsen considered the landscape and architecture surrounding the temple, he thought first about the use and meaning of the space and how to turn significant moments into tangible spaces for reflection and for large gatherings. “My task was to design for a full range of purposes and people, from those celebrating joyful times to others dealing with tough times. If a person needs a quiet moment to sit, there are points where you feel like you’re in a private garden. And for moments of celebration, there are spaces to accommodate gatherings of up to 100 people.”

INFLUENCE: The site is landscaped with flowers, shrubs, mature trees, and large

lawn areas, creating a multicolored backdrop to the monochromatic stone temple. “The landscape very much frames views that put the focus on the temple,” says Nielsen. His design considers the full range of purposes and people that come to the temple, from those celebrating joyful times to others dealing with tough times. There are small

gardens spaces for moments of reflection, and there are spaces that accommodate gatherings of up to 100 people for moments of celebration. “Every planning decision we made considered how the important moments happening here could be captured in both memories and photographs. We thought about where people gather and how we frame the temple, surroundings, and moment. Everyone is looking for that beautiful family photo in front of the temple.”

SOLUTION: Plazas on three sides of the building are designed for these moments

of contemplation and celebration and introduce horizontal landscape elements in contrast to the vertical form of the temple. Two of the plazas accommodate wedding parties and other large gatherings. These plazas include benches and lighting for guests to sit and take in the scenery and celebrate the occasion. Another narrow plaza tucks benches into small alcoves, offering more private spaces for quiet moments.

Nielsen selected Ashbery area and path lights, Melville benches, and Poe litters for the site. Finding site elements that not only related to each other but also to the temple architecture was important. “It’s nice to design with a cohesive family of furnishings,” says Nielsen. “All site elements have the same aesthetic and finish and come from one manufacturer.” Ashbery’s modern take on a traditional gas lantern fit perfectly with the temple’s hybrid architecture of classic and modern form. Path lights highlight the plantings and guide people around the site. Poe litters and Melville benches, like Ashbery lights, are a modern take on a traditional style. And Nielsen’s placement of the benches offers people perfect vantage points to take in the spectacular views of the valley and sunsets.

ENGLISH CATHEDRAL SHINES BRIGHTLY ON DEMAND ELY CATHEDRAL Ely in East Cambridgeshire, England

Challenge: Ely Cathedral began its life as an abbey church built by St. Etheldreda in 763. The current building dates from 1083, and was raised to cathedral status in 1109.

Now, part of the Church of England, Ely Cathedral is committed to being carbon neutral by 2030. To help achieve this, the lighting is currently being upgraded to a more energy-efficient and sustainable system.

“The outdated lighting was no longer fit for purpose, using high levels of energy and therefore costing far too much. The new lighting system gives the Cathedral the ability to control the lighting easily, and embrace its full potential,” said Bruce Kirk, Director of Light Perceptions.

While the cathedral is primarily a place of worship, it is an important heritage attraction, venue filming. It was key to ensure that any new lighting

LINEAR LIGHTING | AIRPORT

A GUIDING LIGHT FIT FOR A STAIRCASE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING STAIRCASE

Challenge: Many office stairwells are hidden away, solely for function and void of form, and their staid, industrial lighting often reflects that role. That wasn’t the case at the San Francisco Airport Consolidated Administration Campus— Phase 1 where, despite its utilitarian name, light and modernity abound. The central stairway is open and sculptural, providing a visual allure as much as a means for getting from place to place.

Its unique vibe required an equally unique lighting approach, one that would emulate the overall aesthetic without sacrificing safety and functionality.

Influence: When you think about an office building for an airport, elegance and art may not be the first things that come to mind. But that is exactly the feeling the interior exudes, inspired in part by the fact that the airport’s accredited SFO Museum has its offices in the building.

Lighting designer Janet Nolan, president of JSN+ALD in San Francisco, kept this in mind as

Drum Room In the drum room, an exaggerated hoop defines the ceiling space. Inside the reveal on the bottom, an LED creates a subtle glow. The balance of the space is illuminated with track lighting from Acuity’s R606L series.

Shape of a Drum A series of floating curved ceiling forms mimic the shape of a drum. Acuity’s Arc series trackheads were reused from the previous store for the accent lighting, suspended from a track hidden between the ceiling panels. A standoff continuous light rail system from Lumium washes instruments affixed to slat wall.

Like Guitar Strings Above, the guitar display is dramatized by Ecosense’s Lumium Oxygen 1 series that floats across the ceiling like illuminated guitar strings, providing general lighting. Acuity’s Slimform downlights punctuate the strings.

Piano Section Right, an abstract keyboard defines the ceiling space, concealing ductwork above. Representing the black keys are linear lights from Acuity’s Mark Lighting Slot 2 series, suspended just below the white baffles as position markers.

Tuning into Human Centric Lighting Replicating the sun’s changing wavelengths throughout the day, Circadian LED systems help stimulate bodies’ natural rhythms.

Today’s solid state marketplace offers an array of tunable LEDs, enabling harness different colors, and color temperatures, of light from one source. However, there is a significant difference between tunable lighting and circadian LED technology that realistically mimics changing wavelengths of sunlight throughout the day to optimally stimulate the body’s natural release of serotonin in the morning and melatonin at night.

While the technology required to produce a product capable of tuning wavelengths to produce a bright white morning light and evolve into a soft, yellow light toward the day’s end is more complex, health and wellness-oriented lighting manufacturers, lighting designers and progressive building owners are embracing the benefits of human centric lighting (HCL).

In addition to the science proving the boosted productivity, better night’s sleep and enhanced health benefits created by circadian lighting, Craig Casey, building science leader, Lutron Electronics, Coopersburg, Pa., states, “when the lighting is aligned with our mood and/or the task at hand, we feel more comfortable. That sense of wellbeing and comfort is what building owners and developers are looking to invest in. People want to spend time in places that make them feel good—and lighting is a big contributor to cultivating those feelings.”

“In office environments, we have seen boosts in productivity, alertness, mood and nighttime sleep just from changing the lighting in the office to be biologically focused,” adds Robert Soler, vice president of biological research and technology, BIOS Lighting, San Marcos, Calif.

“And in elderly care, we have seen reductions in falls and nighttime wandering by switching to circadian lighting.”

Circadian Basics To enable this advanced level of light tuning, circadian LEDs are built based on a number of key principles. Spectrally optimized LED solutions tune to 490nm, which is the peak sensitivity of Melanopsin—the photo pigment that predominantly drives the human circadian system.

Another key metric is Equivalent Melanopic Lux (EML), which quantifies light effects on the human circadian cycle and assesses the response of the non-visual photo-receptors (ipRGCs) in the human eye. © Jake Holt

Another metric is the melanopic daylight efficacy ratio (m-DER) which quantifies the biological effect of an artificial light source as compared to 6500K of daylight. These calibrated metrics are also used to evaluate if a building qualifies for WELL Building standard circadian lighting level credits.

“While these are key attributes for HCL, we cannot simply forget about everything else we’ve valued and accomplished in SSL such as

Offering some general guidance in selecting high quality tunable LED products, Soler instructs, “when looking at daytime melanopic ratios (MR), look for 3000K LEDs with an m-DER greater than 0.70, for 3500K look for an m-DER greater than 0.80, and for 4000K, look for an m-DER greater than 0.90.”
