Light, colour and emotion

CIBSE event features Monocrom ‘tasters’

Mary Rushton-Beales and Dr Meher Engineer to co-present in London
13 August 2015, 18:30-21:00

CIBSE, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, will host a CPD event led by Lighting Design House’s Mary-Rushton-Beales and Dr Meher Engineer of Monocrom, examining the links between light, colour and emotional wellbeing. This seminar promises to be stimulating in more ways than one, since it includes demonstrations of the Monocrom Light Dome. The 400mm-diameter dome creates the illusion of infinite space filled with brilliant colour projections, a uniform field of monochrome light from chosen points anywhere on the visible spectrum.

Dome used for lighting design

Dr Meher Engineer and her colleagues at Monocrom have spent many years investigating the colour light, and wellbeing, factors recognised in CIBSE’s Lighting Guide 02: Hospitals and Health Care Buildings. Mary Rushton-Beales is an advocate of colour therapy and a visitor to Dr Engineer’s London practice where in addition to its use in therapy, lighting designers and interior architects use the Monocrom Light Dome to simulate coloured environments.

Title (On CIBSE site) Colour Dome In London
Date 13 August 2015, 18:30-21:00
Venue Pushkin House, Holborn, London WC1A 2TA

The event is open to non-members, but registration is essential via www.cibse.org or Eventbrite

Colour therapy is a complementary therapy. If you have a medical condition or health concerns you should seek guidance from your doctor or other medically qualified health care professional

Time – our most precious commodity?

I’ve been designing the lit environment for more than 30 years and I suppose it’s quite appropriate that my most difficult lighting challenge ever – in the entire 30 years – that was recently assigned to me by Artist Dawn Bendick – should have awareness of time at the heart of the artistic inspiration.

Interior lighting: floor up or ceiling down?

I have taught Lighting at many different colleges all over the UK, mostly at degree level, on courses studying interior architecture, interior design and 3-D design.
