Last week, Victor Quezada joined local lighting representative
@cdm2lightworks alongside colleagues from
@erco_northamerica for a guided architectural lighting tour through Vancouver’s Lower Mainland—exploring cultural spaces where light shapes experience, storytelling, and meaning.
A key highlight of the day was visiting two
@aes_engr projects at UBC that exemplify lighting design excellence.
The Chung Lind Gallery showcased how precision lighting can quietly support art and architecture, creating an atmosphere that allows the work on display to remain the focal point while enhancing spatial clarity and material expression.
At the Museum of Anthropology, the group experienced a project recently recognized with a 2025 IES Illumination Award of Merit for Interior Lighting Design. This honour reflects AES Engineering’s thoughtful balance of heritage preservation, innovation, and visual comfort—demonstrating how lighting can respectfully illuminate culturally significant spaces while meeting contemporary performance standards.
Together, these projects illustrated how intentional lighting design elevates cultural environments—guiding the eye, respecting materials, and enhancing the visitor journey without distraction.
The tour concluded at the Polygon Gallery in North Vancouver, a project Victor contributed to earlier in his career. Sharing behind‑the‑scenes insights, he spoke to the challenges, problem‑solving, and collaboration required to deliver award‑calibre lighting solutions.
From concept to completion, these spaces reflect AES Engineering’s commitment to design merit, technical rigor, and the lasting impact of light—when it’s done right.
