Summary:
Light in Architecture explores the role and use of light in and around buildings from the time that Stonehenge was built through to the present day, illustrating how a greater understanding of this intangible and free material will lead us to better architecture and, ultimately, improve our quality of life. Translated from the Spanish book, La Materia Intangible, this edition explains why light is so fundamental to human perception, how its nature and use are influenced by time and place, and how it has come to be used as a tool for abstract architectural design.

Summary:
The use of light and illumination in architecture and design is currently evolving and making an increasingly significant impact in various creative disciplines. Today, architects use light installations to create a different night-time identity for buildings that allow for additional functions and presentations. Light is also important for designers who use it to illuminate locations, or conjure works of art, forms and images in commercial or cultural contexts. In short: light is a magical medium for creative experimentation that today’s designers are using to produce a broad spectrum of exciting work. The 44 illustrated projects have been realised by a number of top-level artists, designers and manufacturers, all of whom are setting trends in the creative use of light.

Summary:
From 1918 onwards, Le Corbusier was engaged in conceiving and generating the idea of purism – an activity he undertook in conjunction with the painter Amédée Ozenfant. These reflections on the relationship between form and colour led to the determination of a specific palette that has been consistently referred to throughout the course of the 20th century. This book examines the way in which the architect arrived at this distinctly personal architectonic polychromy in the early 1920s.
