Dr. Karolina M. Zielinska-Dabkowska, IALD, IES, CIE, RIBA

The job of the lighting designer is to develop the optimum lighting solution in line with the architect’s intention for every individual project. Apart from the way the luminaires are focussed, there are a number of other factors that play a significant role: surface materials, the colour temperature of the light sources and coloured light.
