These buildings are hallowed ground. They represent the soul and spirit of our communities, and preserving them for future generations is an important responsibility. If you are tasked with lighting these buildings, taking a thoughtful approach that considers both practical needs and historical relevance is essential.
One starting point when lighting these buildings is to determine what types of light fixtures will complement the character of the building. In general, simple, classic designs work well on landmark structures. Avoid modern or minimalist fixtures that detract from the building’s original aesthetic. Instead, look for fixtures with gracefully curved lines or intricate detailing that reflect their era while also serving your practical needs.
