THE BRANDSTON PARTNERSHIP CELEBRATES 50 YEARS

摘要

Established in 1966 by lighting pioneer Howard Brandston in New York, the Brandston Partnership has worked on more than 5,000 projects around the world during its half-century. Although Brandston has since retired from day-to-day practice, the firm, under the leadership of Robert Prouse, Chiming Lin, Jungsoo Kim, Wai Mun Chui, Chou Lien, and Scott Matthews has never wavered from Brandston's design philosophy: We live in a visual culture and only by understanding the intricacies of light can one make spaces for people. With a portfolio that includes some of the most iconic projects of the past five decades, such as Expo '67 in Montreal, the relighting of the Statue of Liberty, and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (shown), the firm has focused on its recent expansion in Asia, where it first started working in the 1980s. It opened a Shanghai office in 2003 and an office in Singapore this year. The result is a thriving global practice that numbers well over 80 designers.
