Parr then examines key challenges to sustainability— waste disposal, disaster relief and environmental refugees, slum development, and poverty.

Light and color can be used to achieve the most varied and astonishing effects. These effects are dependent on the project and spatial environment, but they also depend in large measure on cultural context. This study is based on forty-seven interviews with lighting designers from North and South America, Europe, and Asia. This publication explores in a systematic fashion what aesthetic, emotional, and atmospheric tasks a good lighting design can accomplish.
