Four TLP Projects were recognized internationally and locally by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).
This year The Lighting Practice submitted six (6) projects to our local IES Philadelphia Section’s awards program, The Philaments and to the Illuminating Engineering Society’s international awards program, The Illumination Awards.
Both The Philaments and the Illumination Awards recognize projects that exemplify strong lighting design, but also the professionalism, ingenuity and originally of the lighting. We are proud to report that four (4) of our projects, the Lit Brothers Building, Bergdorf Goodman, Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, and The Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building, were recognized locally by the Philadelphia Section and by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).
