Light is all around us, and it increasingly affects out daily lives. Light is a key element in architecture. For centuries the sun was primarily used to simply illuminate stone facades, bur glass opened a path for interior spaces with increased brightness and a feeling of openness
Professor Emeritus's view of daylight looks beyond the practical advantages of using reflective white spaces to facilitate bright rooms; the passionate photographer is much more interested in the light effects that play with the local beauty of nature and touch the human soul.
Light is a very complex issue. Light is the element that makes Architecture. You need light in order to make anything visible, but it's also something you have to control, there are also the cultural aspects in the way light is being used. We've built a number of museums, and in every one the way the light is being applied is different. I think it has to do with the culture of where we are building.The space was very inspirational when the light is filtered through, between inside and outside. it has to do with the fact that art can only live by the virtue of light. Architect should be able to anticipate how light will enter a project, knowing what the influence of light can be on the Architecture, and work with it as an organizational principle.
