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.

In the vast expanse of architectural design, the interplay between light and space forms the foundation of our built environment. Natural lighting, in particular, stands as a beacon of inspiration, guiding architects, designers, and builders toward sustainable, luminous spaces that resonate with the rhythms of nature and elevate the human experience. In this exploration of natural lighting in architecture, we embark on a journey of discovery—a journey that transcends the confines of tradition and convention to embrace the transformative power of light. Through the pages that follow, we delve into the art and science of daylighting, uncovering insights, inspiration, and possibilities that illuminate the path toward a brighter, more sustainable future for all. As we navigate this terrain of exploration, it is essential to acknowledge the myriad voices, perspectives, and influences that have shaped our understanding of natural lighting. From ancient civilizations that revered the sun as a symbol of life and renewal to modern pioneers who have revolutionized our approach to sustainable design, each contribution adds depth and richness to the tapestry of human knowledge and creativity. At its core, this exploration of natural lighting is a celebration—a celebration of light as a source of beauty, wonder, and connection to the world around us. It is a testament to the enduring power of human ingenuity and imagination—a reminder that, in the pursuit of excellence, we can create spaces that inspire, uplift, and endure for generations to come. As we embark on this journey together, let us embrace the spirit of exploration, curiosity, and collaboration that defines the architectural profession. Let us seek inspiration in the play of light and shadow, the dance of form and space, and the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the horizon of our imagination. In the chapters that follow, we will delve into the depths of natural lighting in architecture, exploring its principles, practices, and profound impact on the world we inhabit. Let us embark on this journey with open minds and open hearts, knowing that together, we can illuminate the world with beauty, wonder, and possibility.

Daylighting offers a general theory and introduction to the use of natural light in architecture. The fourth of Derek Phillip's lighting books draws on his experience to illustrate how best to bring natural light into building design. As sustainability becomes a core principal for designers, daylighting comes to the fore as an alternative to artificial, energy consuming, light. Here, Phillips makes a rational argument for considering daylight first, outlining the arguments in favour of a daylight approach, and goes on to show, through a series of beautifully illustrated case studies, how architects have created buildings in which natural light has been shown to play a major strategic role in the development of the design of a building.

The image of open working and living spaces flooded with light has, more than any other, become fixed in our minds as a symbol of modernity and the spirit of the times. While the workplace has always been the focus of ergonomic studies and optimization with respect to a good provision of daylight, large glass surfaces have now become the order of the day for living spaces as well. But does this automatically make for better illumination? Taking this question as its starting point, the publication Illuminating thematizes central aspects of light planning, including the connection between the provision of daylight and architectural design, building orientation, the nature of the facade, the ground plan, comfort, and the proportions and atmosphere of rooms. In the process, general characteristics and fundamental principles as well as subtle facets of an intelligent treatment of daylight are discussed and critically examined within an expanded architecture- and culture-historical context.

Light is the soul of space, a breath that passes through it, giving it life. Chasing the shadow unabated, in a ritual that makes visible the passage of time. The architecture is, first of all, the implementation of this ritual that ignites the dialectic between fixity of space and dynamic action of light, between the finiteness of the measures and incommensurability natural element, between concreteness of matter and abstraction of the vacuum. This book provides system certain basic principles that govern the relationship between architectural space and natural light to put them at the center of the architect's work. 33 bicoloured illustrations
