LIGHT

The concept of architectural lighting as "modeling space by light" must be one of the premises for the bright careful environmental design. The lighting in architecture must be a resource that must be managed consistently and this is where the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer comes. He used natural light as a tool for classification of spaces and forms, and how requirement of expression and meaning. Talking about the works of Niemeyer, is talking about examples of diverse influences and their ability to adapt to local conditions where light is expressed, without emphasizing in a game of chiaroscuro, or shaded volumes. It focuses on the stark contrast between lighted areas and shaded areas and volumes under the sun. Some of their projects use light to define constructed elements, others take light as its theme.
