    Le Corbusier describes architecture as the skillful arrangement of forms brought together through light and shadow. Light reveals forms and shapes through contrasts of light and dark. It can be used to keep light out in hot climates, break up space through shadows, and soften a space by bathing surfaces in light. Light also carries symbolic and metaphysical meanings that can create spatial narratives.
