Illuminart and Peter Basso Associates collaborated and integrated very successfully 7 years ago. Robert discusses, with Webster and Ron, the advantages of being part of both a lighting design firm and a larger MEP consulting firm. Are you sensing the “collaboration” theme here? Here’s a direct quote from Robert in this episode: “The controls people out there - they are worth their weight in gold, times ten!” Kinda makes you feel all fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?
Robert has been practicing lighting Design for over 30 years and is Principal at Illuminart based in Troy Michigan. He has a BFA from College for Creative Studies and has received over 40 lighting design awards including several Guth Awards of Distinction. His wide-ranging design experience includes projects throughout the US as well as the Middle East. He also enjoys teaching and is adjunct faculty for LTU, and CCS.
In this series, C. Webster Marsh and Ron Kuszmar tackle the challenges of controls in the lighting industry. Asking industry members the tough questions, such as: Where are lighting controls headed? How does one design a good system? What is an Integrator? Find out the answers to all this and more on The Lighting Controls Podcast.
