Light enables us to see; it stimulates us, informs us and excites us. There can be no visual form without light. It conditions both the way we see our world and the way we feel.

Light has many sources. The sun, moon, fire and electricity all light our world. Differing kinds of light cause us to see and respond in different ways. Light is constantly changing - from dawn to dusk, from season to season.

Light reveals shape, surface and colour; it informs our individual perception of the world and provides us with a common language.

Light is integral to architecture: it reveals beauty function and form. It defines the image, colour and texture of buildings, cities and landscape. It determines our visual boundaries and our understanding of scale. We design the built environment not only to provide light but to be experienced in light.

Whatever we are doing in our lives light plays a part. Light is a communication tool, light is energy, light is magic. Light is life.

Our world is made of light.   More detail...
