Welcome to the June 2025 issue of designing lighting (dl). On the cover is the Temple of Poseidon, a 2025 IALD Award-winning design that pays tribute not just to architecture, but to myth, memory, and the soul of a civilization.
Eleftheria Deko & Associates used a subtle choreography of warm and cool tones to bring dimension to the marble ruins while preserving their timeless dignity.
Also in this issue, awards season is officially here, and we look at the 2025 IESNYC Lumen Award winners AND the 42nd Annual IALD International Lighting Design Award Winners.
In addition to that, regular contributor Jim Benya offers a heartfelt reflection on his retirement. We look at the life and legacy of design great Paul Marantz. And we examine how to navigate fee structures in the residential lighting design realm.
All that, and more, in the June issue of designing lighting (dl). Enjoy!
