An architectural history of light-both natural and artificial-and its physical, sociopolitical and spiritual properties.

Windows of Light by renowned Lebanese-born architect Linah Ghotmeh is a profound exploration of light as both a physical phenomenon and a cultural artifact. Through meticulous research and com- pelling imagery, Ghotmeh delves into the symbolism, myths, and innovations surrounding light, illus- trating its fundamental role in shaping our biological, astronomical, and architectural environments. Anchored by a poignant photographic essay, the book presents three chapters spanning global, local, and personal perspectives on light. Windows of Light is a richly layered narrative that connects past and present, offering a new lens through which to view the integral role of light in our lives.

AUTHOR: Lina Ghotmeh was born in Beirut and runs the Paris-based Studio Lina Ghotmeh – Architecture, shortlisted to redesign the western wing of the British Museum. She is currently a design critic at Harvard University and has taught at Yale University and the University of Toronto.
