Light in Architecture : Tectonic Relations Between Light and Shadows - Tatjana Capuder Vidmar

Today, when darkness of all kinds, cast by humans, is trying to prevail and is endangering prosperous life on the planet, we need a reflection on how to reconcile the darkness with light of living. Tatjana Capuder Vidmar examines four perspectives on the topic through four masterpieces of art: L�szl� Moholy-Nagy's �Das Lichtrequisit�, Daniel Libeskind's �Der Holocaust Turm�, Senenmut's �Temple of Queen Hatshepsut�, and Alvar Aalto's �Studio Aalto� in Helsinki. Architecture can contribute to a better world. To do so, architecture needs to be relational and sunlight has a special role in it. The volume is illustrated with the author's artworks, which are interpretations of beautiful light�- shadow relations in tectonics of natural structures.
