paths that are possible to take. “GETTING TO WHY” a particular decision is made involves “WHO”, “WHAT”, “WHERE”, AND “HOW” in the mix. “Who” are the stakeholders in what design decisions have to be made. It is not only the “design team” of architect/interior designer, MEP engineers and other consultants. Clients are more involved so as to be more responsive to those who work in the space. Contractors are pressured for quick delivery of the project at lower costs. “WHAT“ does the design team want it to look like? What tasks are being done in the spaces. What do the people working in the spaces need/want? “Where” is the project for taking advantage of natural resources and code compliance? Where are specialty installers needed for system integration? “How” does the information required get to the proper people? How does the coordination of the different systems get accomplished? How do “issues” in the field get resolved quickly? With technology advances, energy reduction requirements and more personal control desired, lighting design has become more involved with the entire process of “GETTING TO WHY”.
