Summary:

This thorough, analytical study focuses on 10 architectural projects located in France, Chile, Italy, Australia, Ireland, Germany, and the UK. Each project is thoroughly analyzed in terms of its natural daylight and also in terms of how the architect articulates his thinking and goals regarding natural light. The projects are illustrated with modest-sized b&w photos and drawings. Mary Ann Steane is an architect and a lecturer at the U. of Cambridge whose research interests include design principles of the use of natural light and the broader cultural perspective.
