Presented as field notes, the research delves into the symbolism, myths, and innovations surrounding light, illustrating its fundamental role in shaping our biological, astronomical, and architectural environments. Anchoring the many representations of light is a photographic essay that reminds us that access to artificial light in many regions of the world remains a privilege rather than a right. The book's first chapter, "Archeology of Light," investigates light's origins, measurement, and capture across diverse cultures, bringing forward marginalized and non-Western perspectives through a series of illustrations. "Without Light" unfolds as a photographic essay by Laurian Ghinițoiu documenting Beirut's electricity crisis and features the Stone Garden Housing project realised by Lina Ghotmeh - Architecture. The final chapter, "Material Light," showcases a series of ink drawings by the architect, offering personal reflections on the relationship of light, water, and the natural world. 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 0aLightxEnergy 0aLight in architecture 0aLight in art.
