Description
The making of shadows has been an integral part of architectural history since its inception. This study explores how shadows have shaped architecture in distinctive and dynamic ways, weaving together close readings of significant buildings with architectural theory and art history. From the medieval hearth to modern masterworks, shadows have played a crucial role in form, composition, and visual effect. The book delves into the cultural context surrounding shadows, tracing differing conceptions of their meaning and symbolism, from places of refuge to metaphors of the unconscious. Through its chronological framework encompassing various architectural movements, this beautifully-illustrated study examines the work of shadow-makers through their drawings, writings, and built masterpieces.
