Light is the element that reveals architecture. It renders texture and materials, illuminates surfaces and spaces, it creates atmospheres. Light in Architecture is a suggestive and useful guide for those who are conscious of the main role natural light and artificial lighting play in architecture, landscape and interior design. Text, pictures, figures and drawings will guide them through this essential aspect of contemporary design and architecture. Author Mireia Vergés studied architecture in the Escola Tècnica Superior de Arquitectura of Barcelona and in the North London University. Later, she enlarged her studies with a MA on Aesthetics of Contemporary Art at the University Autónoma of Barcelona. After working for several architecture studios, she co-founded Studio AGVA Arquitectura with Teresa Guri and Ruediger Wurth. Her participation in various public competitions has been awarded with several prizes and mentions. An essential reference and the only complete work for professionals on this subject explains how and why the use of light is becoming more and more important in contemporary design and architecture. Expertly written texts are profusely illustrated with pictures, figures and drawing. 512 pages, 170 x 220 mm Paperback.
