So far as we know that light had played a great role in human life and in architecture
since the prehistoric times and its role is still going on up today. Therefore the thesis is
mainly concerned with the light in history of architecture and starts from the scratch
trying to substantiate between light in history of architecture during the prehistoric times
and modern times. As we all know that history is one of the important branch of
knowledge that deals systematically with the past, recording, analyzing correlating and
explaining of the past events. Therkfore the thesis tries to analyze, correlating and
explaining how light was used in architecture in history and how important it was and
until now.
The thesis also gives more vivid examples of the past architects in different times of
architecture and their masterpieces, which will be helpful to architects to have deep
understanding and make more use of light to their designs. More impressive photographs
have been included to make easier for a reader to conceptualize and understand the
concepts. Also apart of explaining the historical examples, the thesis also explains the
modem concepts of light, and light as an art of space.
The main idea is to emphasis the importance of light in architecture which, in past was
not taken seriously. It was something used unconsciously. Now the thesis will try to
analyze and put it in order of sequence so as to obtain an entire historical framework of
light in architecture. Apart of obtaining the historical framework of light in architecture
the thesis also gives more awareness of light in architecture.
In addition we shall see how light was used in the past by the primitive people according
to their lifestyle. You will notice that most examples of masterpieces explained are
churches and temples.
This is because light has been mostly used in a special way in these churches to create the
spiritual environment that people can real feel the presence of God during the
worshipping time.
The thesis would have been included each and everything concerning light but the point
of interest was on history rather than any other kind of light. Finally, in all above the
thesis will raise a certain point or a view of study on history of architecture.
