There’s No Good Architecture Without Daylight: How to Promote Designs Molded and Nurtured by Light

December 9, 2019 José Tomás Franco 0

Humans spend almost 90% of the time indoors; that’s approximately 20 hours a day in closed rooms and 9 hours a day in our own bedrooms. The architectural configurations of these spaces are not random – that is, they have been designed or thought of by someone, and are at least slightly “guided” by the conditions of their inhabitants and their surroundings. Some people inhabit spaces specially catered to their needs and tastes, while others adapt and appropriate designs made for someone else, perhaps developed decades before they were born. In either case, their quality of life may be better or worse depending on the decisions that are made.
