    There is no need to define what light is, but we do need to remember that this light allows us to define what is around us, by day and night: the changing perception of the things or the bodies on which it impacts, and the space that contains them. Light enables us to see, it stimulates, informs and excites us. There can be no visual form without light. It conditions both the way we see our world and the way we feel.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Light and Architecture:

    There is no need to define what light is, but we do need to remember that this light
    allows us to define what is around us, by day and night: the changing perception of the
    things or the bodies on which it impacts, and the space that contains them. Light
    enables us to see, it stimulates, informs and excites us. There can be no visual form
    without light. It conditions both the way we see our world and the way we feel.

    “Architecture is the wise, correct and magnificent play of volumes collected together
    under the light”.
    -Le Corbusier

    “More and more, so it seems to me, Light is the beautifier of the building”
    -F. L. Wright

    Light, or absence of light, can also transform this space in each season, each day of the
    year, each hour of the day, each moment. Light can transform the spatial context,
    creating agreeable or disagreeable, more comfortable, more habitable, more visible.

    The perception of space is directly connected to the way light integrates with it. What
    we see, what we experience and how we interpret the elements is affected by how light
    interacts with us and with the environment. Regarding architecture, in whatever
    dimension it can be analyzed, either as space, as material or as color, it is essentially
    dependent on the lighting situation that involves both the object and the observer.

    I would rather say there is no architecture without light and it is one of the basic
    elements of it.

    AIM:
    To study and understand the effect of natural light and its impact on architecture
    and human mood and to design build forms which enlights people innerself and
    enhance peace through the experience of light through each and every spaces.
    NATURAL LIGHT:

    Natural Light / Daylight is a gift of nature. It is essential in providing a pleasant visual


    environment; contribute to a feeling of wellbeing.

    Human factor is equal importance. People like natural light more than artificial light
    and prefer to work in daylight and choose to locate close to a window. People believe
    that the most important reason to natural light is the psychological impact natural light
    seems to have on them.

    Natural light makes architectural more harmony between exterior and interior, nature
    and human. They think light work with some element like colors can more dynamic and
    beautifier and it is a major natural element in architecture design.

    SCOPE:

    The meaning of the word spiritual has developed over time and today has numerous
    meanings. Traditionally it was associated with religion, religious experience and Holy
    Spirit. However, the modern-day, secular and broader meaning of the world refers to a
    sense of other worldliness.

    It has become a word that is also commonly used as way to describe intangible things
    that lack a straightforward explanation. It is generally accepted that spirituality can be
    found in music, nature, art, poetry, in many other areas of life and in architecture.
    The project is developed with the attitude that these spaces would promote peace and
    self betterment. This project is intended to host a variety of spaces that encourage
    spiritual through activities and the effects of light grounding with the urban context,
    which is at times hectic, stressful and overwhelming.

    The center is more like an institute to inspire an individual’s motivation to achieve


    optimal health and bring a balance in their mind, body, emotions and soul.
