Patterns of light and dark affect both our perceptions of the world and our emotional and physiological responses, and thus they are essential in gathering information about the physical world.
Our perception of architecture will be influenced by light:
– Light defines zones and boundaries,
– Light expands and accentuates rooms,
– Light creates links and delineates one area from another,
– Light create impressions of a space
Projections of a small simple modell. Permutation of states of light and shadow taking territory of each other.
Light and dark are relative perceptions of light. Architects use the concept of light and dark as they create visual interest on a building by choosing shapes that create a sensation of depth. When some shapes stick out, they leave others in shadow. Narrow openings often appear dark, as in a tunnel, and broad, flat spaces look light. Materials can be used to vary the light quality of a building. For instance, a band of tinted windows gives the illusion of a dark space wrapping around a building.
