Information about the object illuminated by the light is conveyed by two kinds of shadows, its own and those cast. Shadows come into play with architecture in the form of chiaroscuro created by a solid object or some other additional elements constructed especially for this purpose. The cast shadow, which is very susceptible to deformation, can also be used to create some fun projections on surfaces.
