Charles Stone: “Bad Lighting can Ruin a Good Building”

According to Charles Stone, “Sometimes, the best lighting is no lighting at all. We are also darkness designers. Good lighting can’t make a bad building better but bad lighting can ruin a good building. ”

The lighting designer was in Mumbai recently to launch the India-edition of an architectural and lighting magazine, where he summed up his experience of working on the worlds tallest man-made structure; the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, as “really tall”. He also shared his ideas of lighting up symbolic structures around the globe.
