NATURAL LIGHT Natural light is a fundamental element of architecture. It is a powerful and poetic yet practical survey that provides an original and timeless approach to contemporary architecture.

It affects mood, health, and visual character of space in which we live or work. Architecture can, by all means, affect the amount of natural light a home or building receives. The variables of both position in relation to the landscape and the architectural features of the structure in question can greatly augment or inhibit the ability of the sun to illuminate its interior. How it does this is in part a function of its location, but it is also determined by its design and layout. The landscape in which a structure is located along with the materials used in its construction goes a long way in determining how much natural light is possible.
