• How a New Generation of Architects Is Designing with Natural Light

  26-06-2026 08:45 via archdaily.com
  
  2024 Presentations. Image Courtesy of VELUXLong before it becomes a matter of performance, comfort, or energy efficiency, natural light is a way of giving presence to architecture. It reveals the texture of a wall, the depth of an opening, and the silent passage of time within a space.
