LIGHT AND SPACE: Narrative Dialogue in Architecture

Light constitutes the fundamental carrier of meaning in semantic architecture. From the biblical act of creation, in which the separation of light from darkness gives a cosmological structure to reality, to contemporary sacred realizations, it performs both a material and a symbolic role. As an attribute of God – the One who illuminates the darkness—light becomes at once a witness and the creator of the sacred, imparting dynamism to the transformations of form and matter within the sacred space.
