Daylight in Architecture as a Constructive Spatial Force

The Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design, Conservation presents a talk by the Danish architect office LETH & GORI. The talk is the first in a new series of ‘Daylight Talks’, organized by the VELUX Group in collaboration with individual schools of architecture.

The talks explore the significance of natural light in architecture and will present prominent architects and educators working consciously and qualitatively with daylight in their projects and educational programmes.

LETH & GORI´s talk titled 'Daylight in Architecture as a Constructive Spatial Force' will talk us through their architectural design process based on an understanding that daylight is a morphological spatial and erosive force; spaces for the light to inhabit. From Sir John Soane’s Lincoln Inn Fields to Gordon Matta-Clark and the office´s own works - transformations of traditional housing and cultural heritage to the new buildings.

The lecture is 45 minutes and it will be followed by an open 30 minutes of Q&A session. The lecture will be live transmitted from LETH & GORI’s studio.
