AIM
To study the relevance of light and shadow in architecture.
Without Light and Shadow, there is no architecture.
OBJECTIVE
To study, in brief, the role of shadows in spatial design throughout
the history of architecture in a chronological way.
LIMITATIONS
Shade/shadow is seen as absence or relative deficiency of
light. Hence, a direct quantification is not possible.
The study has been limited to use of natural light in buildings
to streamline the topic of study due to time and text
limitations.

To study the role of shadows in the design of contemporary spaces,
taking up examples and case-studies
Attempt to formulate/arrive at generalities to assist the
incorporation of 'shadow-design' in the basic design of spaces and
building.
Study does light and shadow have power to give form to
architecture.
THE STUDY WILL INCLUDE
Visual perception of the spaces
Basic understanding of tones, intensity etc.
Understanding the role of light and shadow based on the data
collection. Live examples.
How shadow react with different objects, colour, texture.

Detailed study of parameters of different types of shadows affect

the building.

To analyse how the light and shadow became the matter if interest
in architecture.

Study of light and shadows through translucent barriers

SCOPE

The study will analyse the role of self-shadows and cast-shadows

(formed under natural light) in spatial design.

Understand and analyse the effects of the two different types of

shadows (with a visual boundary and without a visual boundary)

Study changes in the use of light and shadow throughout the

history of architecture ABDUL SAKUR

The definition of landscape

this guidance hard landscape refers to paving, walls, railings,
fences, retaining structures and street furniture such as lighting,
seats, bollards, adverts and signs. The soft landscape includes
trees, plants, grass, water and earth modelling. Hard and soft
landscape should be considered together and as an integral
part of any proposal to create or improve external spaces.

The importance of landscape:

A well conceived landscape can help integrate a development into
an area, make a positive contribution to the street scene and
add to the market value of the site. The character of the place
can be significantly affected by the quality of the landscape and
the way it is maintained. Sensitively designed landscape can
enrich and reinforce existing wildlife habitats and improve the
ecological value of sites and their surroundings.
Landscape should not be relied upon to mask design weaknesses
in other aspects of a scheme.
