This book looks at how modern and contemporary architects work with natural light. It considers ideas about space and spatiality, how lighting can orchestrate form and movement, and patterns of human occupation. Exploring current attitudes to natural light, it offers a series of in-depth studies of recent projects.

Mary Ann Steane is an architect and a lecturer at the University of Cambridge. Her research on the use of natural light marries an understanding of lighting design principles with a broader cultural perspective. She examines how architects handle the relationship between light, material and the occupation of space, looking closely at the way in which these factors affect perception of and attunement to the visual environment.
