Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the role of light (both daily and artificial) in facade treatment on the examples of contemporary interpolations. Design of facade envelope with regard to the charac- teristics of light (natural and artificial) ranges from the response to natural elements of the context, via treatment of light as substance, the role of light in constructing and transforming architecture, the role of light in attracting attention, to the communicative and interactive role of light in media towns. The use of classical elements has been analysed and transposition of traditional or natural language has been indicated, as universal response to the conditions of locality, by transforming their formal possibilities using new technological achievements. It has been shown that such architecture may be well interpolated and returned to the place, related to the events in space, and it may contribute to the change of image of our towns, in general.
