Abstract:
Light plays a major role in our lives in many different ways. Unlike past generations, we no longer live from dawn to dusk only by the light of the sun. Society today is one of constant activity no matter what time of day or night. Despite these trends, landscape architects have failed to use light to enhance the design of the spaces they have created. This creates a need to design spaces that are functional and aesthetically pleasing during the day as well as the night. This project investigated and created a link between both natural and artificial light and a designed environment.
