iald award of excellence

The EOA/HGA Design Team was honored for the Tennessee State Museum to receive an Award of Excellence from the 2020 IALD International Lighting Design Awards program. The following jury comments were provided:

“Playing off classical round geometry, the lighting design of HGA develops a series of circular expressions that are essential to the architectural design. The lighting design uses elegant integrated architectural details, soft direct luminaires and curved arrays of round luminaries with intricate celling compositions to complete circular expressions. The innovative application of wireless lighting controls supports various events and energy saving goals. While the states lighting controls standards were originally developed for offices and industrial facility applications, the lighting design successfully incorporated the state-ofthe-art technology throughout the museum. The lighting design by HGA shapes this distinctive cultural facility illuminating a place for people to explore and enjoy.”
