MWHLS a great time at the Philadelphia Philament Lighting Awards last week! We were pleased to have received the Certificate of Merit for our work on the Omni PGA Hotel, and honored to have been present for the first annual Raymond Grenald Lighting Design Excellance award!
MWHLS has had a wonderful time collaborating with HKS and all the other design team members to help bring this venue back to life!
Forest Theater sat idle for years before community members purchased the historic performing arts venue with dreams of revitalizing it in 2017. Since then, HKS, the City of Dallas and Forest Forward have been working together to bring this historic place back to life. Yesterday, hundreds gathered in South Dallas for the project’s official groundbreaking ceremony which commemorated an important step forward in realizing Forest Theater’s future. When it re-opens, the building will include an arts education hub, modern performance hall, studio theater, recording studio, and restaurant.

It is with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of Architectural Lighting Legend Ray Grenald on March 06, 2024. Starting his practice in 1968, Ray Grenald was one of our industries founders and a truly visionary designer. He shaped our industry into what it is today, and will be greatly missed. His legacy extends beyond his innovative designs, encompassing a profound understanding of the psychological impact of lighting on a space, employing elements such as light, shadow, and contrast to influence the occupant's perception. He was always happy to sit down with anyone to talk design and perception over lunch. In 1979, Ray's ingenious design for Philadelphia's Boathouse Row not only preserved the landmark from potential destruction but transformed it into a beloved symbol of the city. Among his numerous contributions to both the cityscape and the industry at large, Ray's influence touched iconic landmarks such as Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and significant portions of the White House and the West Wing during the Reagan Administration. His dedication to both the art and science of architectural lighting has left an enduring legacy, and will always be remembered as an incredible designer, friend and mentor. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Ray's memory may be made to IALD Education Trust (https://lnkd.in/d2u6gcvq) https://lnkd.in/ddbTuNEq
