Tour guides will discuss what makes for great lighting and why its significance in architecture should never be overlooked.Ībout this tour: Barbizon Lighting Company and HLB Lighting Design brought new life to the historic Auditorium Theater, today Denver’s beloved Ellie Caulkins Opera House, with their marvelous theatrical and interior lighting design. In this series we will examine three iconic Denver buildings – Denver Union Station, Ellie Caulkins Opera House and STEAM on the Platte – from the perspective of lighting design. Good lighting is necessary to sustain human activity, of course, but great lighting can enhance way-finding, draw attention to or away from building features and even work in tandem with the circadian rhythm of humans. Great lighting design often goes unnoticed, making it one of the unsung heroes in many great buildings and landscapes. DAF is de lighted to announce a NEW After Dark architectural lighting tour series in partnership with the Illuminating Engineering Society.
