The Architecture of Light: Recent Approaches to Designing with Natural Light de Mary Ann Steane

The Architecture of Light: Recent Approaches to Designing with Natural Light

Autor Mary Ann Steane
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 apr 2011
Reviewing the use of natural light by architects in the era of electricity, this book aims to show that natural light not only remains a potential source of order in architecture, but that natural lighting strategies impose a usefully creative discipline on design.
Considering an approach to environmental context that sees light as a critical aspect of place, this book explores current attitudes to natural light by offering a series of in-depth studies of recent projects and the particular lighting issues they have addressed. It gives a more nuanced appraisal of these lighting strategies by setting them within their broader topographic, climatic and cultural contexts.

Notă biografică

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.

Recenzii

"With her book The Architecture of Light, Mary Ann Steane reminds us of an often undervalued resource of sustainable architecture: daylight. The book depicts natural light above all as a design tool in the hands of architects and less as a scalable quantity." — Detail Magazine

Descriere

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.
