Light in Architecture

Today, when darkness of all kinds, cast by humans, is trying to prevail and is endangering prosperous life on the planet, we need a reflection on how to reconcile the darkness with light of living. Tatjana Capuder Vidmar examines four perspectives on the topic through four masterpieces of art: László Moholy-Nagys 'Das Lichtrequisit', Daniel Libeskinds 'Der Holocaust Turm', Senenmuts 'Temple of Queen Hatshepsut', and Alvar Aaltos 'Studio Aalto' in Helsinki. Architecture can contribute to a better world. To do so, architecture needs to be relational and sunlight has a special role in it. The volume is illustrated with the authors artworks, which are interpretations of beautiful light  shadow relations in tectonics of natural structures.
