Description:

Join the AIA Long Beach Chapter for an exclusive guided tour of 2nd & PCH, the ultimate retail and lifestyle destination in Long Beach that integrates modern architecture with innovative lighting design. This program will highlight the collaborative process between the lighting manufacturer and lighting designer, alongside the lighting representative. Attendees will explore how architectural vision, design intent, and product solutions come together to create a vibrant, welcoming environment that enhances both the retail and pedestrian experience.

Learning Objectives:

  • Analyze the relationship between lighting design and architectural intent in large-scale mixed-use environments, and how these decisions impact functionality, aesthetics, and the user experience.
  • Evaluate the collaborative process between lighting designers, manufacturers, and the lighting rep, and understand how integrated communication contributes to project success.
  • Identify key lighting strategies and product solutions used to balance performance, energy efficiency, and visual comfort in exterior and retail applications.
  • Examine how lighting design contributes to the safety, comfort, and overall experience of diverse user groups in mixed-use public spaces.
