Light by Ian Ritchie

Light is the material of Architecture.

In this volume, Ian Ritchie RA’s aphorisms and musings revolve around the topic of light, a fundamental element in the way we perceive both the natural and the built world. They are accompanied by his calligraphic etchings and illustrations of the architecture that emerges from them.

This illuminating blend of poetry and design is a trove of inspiration for anyone seeking to expand their understanding of the creative process and offers a fresh perspective on the profound interplay between thought, practice, and the radiant world of light.
