The book is divided into four sections:

Light and Form: This section explores the relationship between light and the form of a building. It features projects that use light to create dramatic effects, such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the Sydney Opera House.
Light and Space: This section explores the relationship between light and the space of a building. It features projects that use light to create a sense of openness and spaciousness, such as the Tate Modern in London and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
Light and Environment: This section explores the relationship between light and the environment. It features projects that use light to create a connection between the building and its surroundings, such as the Eden Project in Cornwall and the High Line in New York City.
Light and Sustainability: This section explores the relationship between light and sustainability. It features projects that use light to create energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings, such as the One World Trade Center in New York City and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Each section features a variety of projects, from small-scale residential projects to large-scale commercial developments. The projects are illustrated with high-quality photographs and drawings, and each project is accompanied by a detailed description that explains the design concept and how it uses light and space.

This book is an essential resource for architects, designers, and students who are interested in learning more about how to use light and space to create innovative and sustainable buildings.
