SPECIAL
INTERESTS
Mr.
Applebaum, aside from being a serious Architect, has exhibited
a unique talent for lighting design and has served the Illuminating
Engineering Society as Chapter President and Regional Vice
President. Among his activities in this arena, he annually
lectures and teaches lighting design. He has delivered papers
and programs in Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Nova Scotia,
Canada. Lighting design is both a design tool and an energy
conservation tool in his work. He can incorporate day lighting,
as well as artificial illumination to meet his clients' goals.
In
addition to his creative design endeavors, Mr. Applebaum has
also provided ethical expert witness testimony, investigative
post construction reviews and pre-purchase land and building
evaluations.
HOBBIES
Mr.
Applebaum enjoys sailing, fishing, raising Texas Longhorns,
traveling and herb gardening; none of which he has time for
anymore so he can be a responsible grandfather. |
