Solid + Void

Solid and void refers to the negative and positive 3dimensional space. It places with light and shadow, as well as space and circulation.

Light has the ability to interact with architecture to create different shapes/geometries, space, hierarchies, and more. How light hits a site can be an art within itself. In addition, how the site takes natural light in is an important factor to consider when designing.

In brutalism, light is often used as a tool to increase harshness and sharpness. There is also not normally many opportunities for light to enter in, as its surfaces are heavily enclosed and do not allow for holes/windows.
