THE MASHUPS OF THREE NEWS ARTICLE
The challenge for transparent architecture, which was gaining popularity with the rise of the International Style was unwanted heat. By better using the visible parts of daylight while excluding unwanted heat, we can reduce the amount of energy required for lighting. By minimizing the interior lighting and illuminating the surrounding lawn and trees, the cosmic scenes of day and night appear mysteriously together. Incorporating more daylight into our buildings helps us maintain the deep relationship we have with the natural universe. In a building with ample natural light, people see and feel the rhythm of the day, the time of day, the weather patterns and a sense of season. The rhythms of daylight help to draw people further into a contemplative state. The sun emits aperiodic rhythms, the rotation of the Earth, the tilt of the Earth’s axis and ever-changing weather conditions mean that each intervals of the day produces a different level, and even a different color, of natural light. The irregular rhythm of light and shadow appears like a musical composition. The skill of day-lighting lies in working with the principles of design and with daylight analysis, in testing how light serves to perceive the environment. It lies in understanding the visual interplay of light, and how in turn stimulates the body and spirit. Daylight design opens the possibility of the interplay of "Focal glow, ambient luminescence and play of brilliants,” that enhanced the character of the building. It leads to the creation of buildings that open the soul to poetic realms rather than offering repetitive rhythms of engineered lighting systems.
