The Devil is in the Details

Abstract:

We’ve all had those projects where in your mind, the details are very well coordinated and perfect, but when the installation happens, it’s not at all like you planned.  Conversely, we’ve had those projects where in coordinating all the details, one manages to slip, but it actually ends up being installed really well.  A happy accident that leads to possibly a better outcome than you dreamed up.  In this discussion, seasoned lighting designers will talk about their successful projects/installations and the tips and tricks that went into making those a success… along with some “that’s not quite how we planned it” installations and applications that resulted in the BIG lessons learned.  As they say, “the Devil is in the details.”

Learning Objectives:

1. 1. Acknowledge that every project is an opportunity to learn, we all make mistakes, and the key is to learn from those mistakes along the way.
   2. Understand to what level of detail certain aspects of design need to be drawn, how to document successful installations and how integrations from all parts of the design team helped lead to that success.
   3. Understanding of how all the construction players can be helpful in working through issues that arise.
   4. Understand how to avoid less successful details and applications and where the pitfalls arose.
