The Architecture of Light

The architecture of light refers to how light behaves in the environment, shaping how we see and experience space. It involves understanding how light sources emit energy, how that light interacts with surfaces through reflection, absorption, and scattering, and how it influences the mood and perception of a space. Effective lighting design considers the placement, intensity, and color of light to highlight architectural features, provide comfort, and create desired atmospheres. Essentially, it’s about controlling and optimizing light to enhance the function and aesthetic of a built environment.
