Lessons of Light and Darkness in Architecture

Abstract

The article discusses the question of light and darkness as the tools for creating figurative and abstract meanings in architecture. The lessons of light and darkness in architecture are the way of defining architectural space through the phenomenon whose nature is difficult to express and the essence is difficult to perceive. The only help we have is the interpretation of models from close and distant past.
