The Architecture of Light

This book looks at how modern and contemporary architects work with natural light. It considers ideas about space and spatiality, how lighting can orchestrate form and movement, and patterns of human occupation. Exploring current attitudes to natural light, it offers a series of in-depth studies of recent projects.

Reviewing the use of natural light by architects in the era of electricity, this book aims to show that natural light not only remains a potential source of order in architecture, but that natural lighting strategies impose a usefully creative discipline on design.

Considering an approach to environmental context that sees light as a critical aspect of place, this book explores current attitudes to natural light by offering a series of in-depth studies of recent projects and the particular lighting issues they have addressed. It gives a more nuanced appraisal of these lighting strategies by setting them within their broader topographic, climatic and cultural contexts.
