Yale Symposium
This symposium, held October 1 at Paul Rudolph Hall in New Haven, CT, presented aspects of lighting designer Richard Kelly’s work in historical context and examines its legacy in architectural illumination today. Kelly’s collaboration with Ludwid Mies van der Rohe, Louis I. Kahn, Philip Johnson, and many others at mid-century helped to define the nocturnal imagery of modern architecture. Historians and practitioners from Europe, New Zealand, and the United States will discussed the roles of artificial light and daylight as “building materials” in modern and contemporary architecture.

LIGHT | ENERGY | IMPACT : THE LEGACY OF RICHARD KELLY
EXHIBITION: May 17, 2006
An examination of the relationship between architecture and light as exhibited in the work of architect and pioneer lighting designer Richard Kelly. Through his collaborations with Mies van der Rohe, Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson, and Eero Saarinen, Kelly established a modern architectural lighting vocabulary. His approach has helped to define many of architecture’s 20th-century icons including the Seagram Building in New York and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.
