The extension of Terminal 5 at O'Hare International Airport is the terminal's first major expansion since 1993, a significant first step in O'Hare's ambitious program to modernize one of the world's most traveled airports. The expansion is a signature element of "O'Hare 21," a 21st-century plan to improve efficiency and accessibility across the airport. The lighting design aims to provide a human-centric experience in a visually busy airport. The resulting design approach is minimalistic, providing visual clarity and avoiding visual noise. Designers worked closely to create visual order via the well-organized downlights and by introducing illuminated "eye-lid" domes.ITS
The 2024 IALD International Lighting Design Awards was celebrated in a San Diego, California, presentation event. Twenty-eight projects from ten countries were recognized and applauded for demonstrating exceptional lighting design and contributing to the professional community.
Now in its 41st year, the IALD International Lighting Design Awards is the longest-running program that recognizes architectural lighting design excellence. Receiving an IALD award is universally heralded as the top honor in the lighting design industry. Since its inception in 1983, the IALD International Lighting Design Awards has honored lighting design that reaches new heights, moves beyond the ordinary, and represents excellence in aesthetic and technical design achievement.
