　　Kevan was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. He graduated from Loughborough University of Technology with a BSc in Economic and Technological History and Social Psychology in 1975. Kevan began his career as a lighting designer for rock bands including Jethro Tull, Ultravox, XTC and Steve Hackett.

　　Kevan于苏格兰爱丁堡出生并长大。1975年，他毕业于拉夫堡技术大学，获经济与技术史、社会心理学双学士学位。他的照明设计生涯缘起于为一些摇滚乐队做灯光设计。

　　In 1985 he forsook life on the road to realise some long-standing ideas in lighting effects equipment, developing a theatrical lighting effects system for DHA Lighting in London. At this time his lighting design work focused on TV and video projects, including ETC, a live music series for Channel 4, and the MTV World Music Video Awards. He also developed a number of architectural and exhibition lighting schemes at DHA.

　　1985年是他的人生转折点，对灯光设备的误区有了长足的认识，逐渐为伦敦DHA灯光公司发展出一套戏剧化的舞美系统。当时，他的主要设计工作是关于电视与电台的项目，包括电视频道的音乐真人秀、MTV世界音乐音频大典等。同时期，他也参与了很多建筑与展示照明的设计。

　　In 1989 Kevan returned to his native town of Edinburgh to practise as a lighting designer in the architectural and exhibition area, establishing KSLD. He has led the KSLD team on over 590 projects. While all valuable in their way, Kevan identifies the following projects as being particularly significant for KSLD.

　　1989年，Kevan回到家乡爱丁堡，创建自己的公司KSLD，从事建筑照明与展示照明的设计。迄今为止，他和他的团队已经完成了大大小小590多个项目，广受好评。其中最有代表性的有：

　　The Art Lover’s House, Glasgow (1989) 艺术爱好者的家，格拉斯哥(1989)

　　The Public Institute for Social Security, Kuwait (2001) 社会公共安全研究所，科威特(2001)

　　Alighting: You began your career as a lighting designer for rock bands. What was the work like? Could it be interpreted as stage lighting?

　　《阿拉丁》：您开启灯光设计的职业生涯是从摇滚乐队开始的，那是一份什么样的工作?可以理解为舞台灯光吗?

　　Kevan Shaw: This was most definitely stage lighting. I was touring with bands and tended to be responsible for technical as well as design issues. This is a big learning experience and develops a lot of problem solving skills. The design included operating the show so being involved in the musical performance. I was very interested in relating the stage aesthetic to the music and lyrics in a theatrical way, whilst paying a lot of attention to rhythm and dynamics.

　　K.S.:是的，就是舞美。我跟随乐队巡演，负责灯光有关的设计与技术。那是一个很大的学习机会，让我累积了丰富的经验与设计技巧。灯光舞美参与并融入音乐表演。我对灯光与音乐和歌曲的戏剧性联接方式很感兴趣，也非常注意灯光的节奏与力度。

　　Alighting: You have works of many types, such as stage lighting, exhibition lighting, architectural lighting and light art installations. Which attracts you the most? Why?

　　《阿拉丁》：您的作品涵盖了舞台灯光，展示照明，建筑照明，灯光装置等等。哪个领域是您最感兴趣的?为什么?

　　Kevan Shaw: The great thing about lighting is that all these varied areas bring different experiences. Each of them has their own attractions so I find it difficult to say that any one attracts me more than the other. What I enjoy is the learning and discovery that every form of lighting brings in abundance with new things to light and new technologies to light with.

　　K.S.: 灯光最棒的就是所有这些不同的领域都能给你带来不一样的体验。每一个类别都有其各自的魅力，所以，我很难说喜欢哪种灯光多一些。我很享受学习和发现不同的灯光形式所带来的新载体和新技术。
