Enrique Peiniger's Email & Phone

Enrique Peiniger is a founder and principal of Office for Visual Interaction, Inc. Trained in architectural engineering, Mr. Peiniger sees his work in lighting as a technical extension of the architectural language. Over the years, he has cultivated an in-depth knowledge of luminaire manufacturing and technology, giving him a high degree of precision in designing lighting that conforms to narrow technical requirements. His attunement to issues of construction sequencing and lighting maintenance enables him to embed an engineering logic into his designs, whether by rationalizing layouts or minimizing the types of lamps used on a building. When the right fixtures for a project do not exist, he often convinces lighting manufacturers to create them by adopting improved fabrication processes and detailing. Highly active in professional organizations, Mr. Peiniger is a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, Professional Lighting Designers' Association, American Institute of Architects, American Association of Museums and the U.S. Green Building Council. Mr. Peiniger is currently Treasurer for the Professional Lighting Designers? Association, initiating financial plans that support the development goals of the organization. Through his recognized abilities in professional circles, Mr. Peiniger was appointed as a lighting expert by UNESCO to contribute to the master planning of the Kuwait National Museum. Mr. Peiniger has led lighting design workshops and lectured widely at professional lighting congresses and design schools around the globe. He has taught courses at the Technical University of Berlin and the Parsons School of Design in New York, where he and Ms. Sundin were recently appointed distinguished faculty members.
