A trick of the light: Using shade to optimise sunlight in residential design
46
Biologically speaking, light equals life. As the main energy source for all living beings, to say light is crucial would be an understatement. Therefore, it makes sense that throughout history, light has always played a central role in architectural design. From The Pentagon in Rome to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple, there are countless examples of breathtaking architecture that has been designed to celebrate the power of light.
