KIM THEORY OF RELATIVITY The KIM Theory of Relativity says that design logic should always exist between outdoor lighting and architecture. This design logic must be a relationship between form and scale that provides functional outdoor lighting in harmony with the site and architecture. The theory says: Pole mounted luminaires belong in parking lots where high mounting heights and lamp wattages are the only energy efficient way to light such large scale areas. However, once you leave the parking lot and begin the transition toward the building, outdoor lighting equipment should continuously decrease in scale until it ultimately becomes an integral part of the site scape and architecture. At some point in the transition, the outdoor lighting disappears in to the architectural scheme allowing the viewer to experience the architecture without distracting hardware. All lighting equipment must also have a common theme design.
