Most of the literature relating to the topic of natural light in architecture falls into a few general categories. These include technical manuals on daylighting, studies of the effects of light (or lack of light) on people, or historical investigations of architectural elements. Daylight and architecture have always been linked. Daylight has played an important role in the lighting of buildings since the beginning. Daylight is vital not only for sight but also for the effects it has on us and the environment in which we live. Looking at it from a biological perspective, daylight is critical to the existence of all life. Humans are diurnal animals. Our circadian rhythm is governed by the alternation of presence and absence of daylight. When humans evolved to build the first buildings, they sought to strengthen the connection with the outside world by placing primitive openings and windows. These specially constructed openings provided not only access to daylight and fresh air, but also a symbolic interface between inside and outside. Furthermore, they attuned human living habits to daily life rituals and sleep-wake cycles, synchronizing light rhythms with the twenty-four-hour cycle. Given this fundamental symbiosis between humans and daylight, the language of architecture exploited the interaction between the built environment and the naturally lit interior. Architecture has become adept at maximizing the comfortable qualities of light, emphasizing focus and visual connection, while contributing to a sense of well-being. The architectural goal was to capture, enhance and articulate daylight by using building components to filter, reflect, mediate and redirect light. As human civilization has expanded from individual dispersal… in the middle of the paper… what other visual information is brought to us. I mean shadows, projection of images, images of landscapes or whatever it may be – of course light is always a component of that transmission of information. Using light to create a different reality to what is outside the building is one of the things that interests me a lot. The window should not have a direct correlation to what is immediately outside. There is a way to construct a vision, and perception of a different reality that exists outside the window. I think the key to connecting to nature in a residential environment is the view or how shadows and images can be actively brought into a living or working space. Think of all the dark apartments and townhouses in all the cities around the world that could benefit from this. And there will only be more of them in the future."
