Daylight gives us an understanding of where we are in the world and of the spaces, we find ourselves in every day. The spatial qualities of daylight are unfolded in the 'Poetic Daylight' pavilion, where the perceptual, aesthetic, and poetic potential of daylight can be experienced in a series of spaces.

The atmosphere of a buildings is largely defined by daylight. We are delighted to see the changeability of daylight - from morning to evening - and we experience how light, and darkness shape the spaces that surround us. Especially here in the Nordic region, where there are fewer hours of daylight, there is a need to appreciate its influence on our lives and buildings. By focusing on the specific Nordic daylight, robust and characterful spaces are created, where daylight can support the function of the spaces while at the same time contribute to a sustainable architecture.

In addition to the fact that daylight is essential in architecture, daylight is also an important factor for people's well-being and health. Therefore, spaces should be designed so that they also support people's need for daylight. By utilizing the natural resource: Daylight, as the primary light source, we can contribute to the green transition while ensuring that we humans get the daylight we need.
