Light in Architecture explores the role of light in buildings
throughout history and the many disparate ways in which architects
have approached the phenomenon around the world. Translated and
updated from the best-selling Spanish original, this book
highlights the significance of light on human perception by
examining the ways in which it can be harnessed and manipulated to
achieve particular objectives or experiences - and tackles the
fallacy that 'more' light necessarily means 'better' light. With
increasing relevance to modern urbanism, it also considers what
happens when we build in or around pre-existing architecture - how
light can be improved, restored or even destroyed in the process.
Extensively researched and beautifully illustrated, Light in
Architecture offers a fascinating study of how a greater
understanding of this intangible, freely available material can
improve our built environment and quality of life.
