dc.description.abstractPrior to transferring to TCU, I had no knowledge of Architectural Lighting Design (ALD) and how vital it is to the overall design of the built environment. Over the past three years, I have learned a great deal about the ALD field. The more I learned about ALD in the classroom, the more I wanted to know, which inspired me to pursue the Departmental Honors Project. The journey has been a road filled with independent exploration and research while simultaneously continuing the standard lighting minor curriculum. This honors project began with research into the history of Architectural Lighting Design from its inception to the current day. The more I delved into the research, the more questions arose. Unlike other design professions like architecture, interior, and furniture design, ALD history is not as well documented, This sparked a desire to create a resource that would incorporate the results of my research and other sources for academics and professionals, as well as prospective and current students of Architectural Lighting Design and current ones. After careful consideration with Alyssa Humpries-Stewart, lighting designer, professor, and mentor, I decided a website would be the best disseminate my findings. This website will be a combination of the history of architectural lighting design, designer interviews, educational resources, as well as links to external resources such as competitions, scholarships, and other opportunities waiting to be pursued by aspiring professionals in the field would be the best.
