Natural and artificial light in architecture – Syria example

Abstract

Light – humans can’t live without it. A long time ago the only source of light was from the sun, moon and fire. Today, we can fully use artificial light thanks to technology development. In architecture and urban planning light plays an important role. Both light and shade creates many opportunities for necessary form and shape in our living space.
Natural climate conditions, especially the number of sunny days, are conditioned by the use of daylight for the needs of modern humans. The use of natural light is important in different climate zones. In the Mediterranean countries, and also in Syria, the daylight is treated differently than in Poland or in the Scandinavian countries. Nightlight, however, depends on client needs and its color and intensity is important in architectural and urban design.
In Syrian developed zones, as one of the Mediterranean countries, much attention is given to the good shape and floor plan design of buildings, in order to make the best use of light and shade.
