The shape of light

Different shape of light creates different atmosphere , people will experience different feeling from the architecture .I select some typical shape of light to explain .

Point light 


Point light gives people the expression of freedom and vivid.

lSan Francisco Contemporary Jewish Museum

The material of transparent is added to the wall, forming the light points,in this way ,the elevation looks not massive.

                                      Line light

Männistö church ,Finland

 Vertical lines guide the visual of people,and make the building high than others(Camrri,1998).


                                      Oblique light 

Jewish museum， Berlin

 Oblique light gives  more flexible direction than vertical line .Line-up light gives a positive beauty,and  line- down light gives the sense of down  .

                                    Light gap 

Church of light ,Japan

Planar light 

Pantheon,Roman
