checklists, how-to illustrations, color photos, plans, and examples of
completed installations; actual case studies of commercial,
residential, institutional, industrial, and historic building projects
from around the world, illustrating practical tips and caveats that

architect or designer, this all-in-one reference does more than any
other guide to help your realize fiber-optic lighting indoors and in
every type of building. That makes Fiber Optics in Architectural

By A Customer
This review is from: Fiber Optics in Architectural Lighting: Methods, Design, and Applications (Hardcover)
I found this book to be quiet comprehensive with a wealth of data and examples that explains how to use this novel and exciting ligting system. It helped me a lot to get the best out of my designs and to avoid too many silly errors.
