With increasing relevance to modern urbanism, it also considers what happens when we build in or around pre-existing architecture – how light can be improved, restored or even destroyed in the process.Extensively researched and beautifully illustrated, Light in Architecture offers a fascinating study of how a greater understanding of this intangible, freely available material can improve our built environment and quality of life.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Architecture & AntiquesRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
