dc.description.abstractThe central focus of this thesis is the dynamic interplay between light and shadow, with the intention of creating architectural spaces that evoke emotions. The research conducted in this thesis is rooted in the author's personal emotional experiences during the process of designing the space. The primary objective is to explore the impact of light on human emotions within spatial environments. Through these studies, the author endeavors to discover a common ground where light, shadow, architecture, and emotions intersect. Ultimately, the aim is to contribute valuable insights to the field of architecture, offering potential applications for the creation of more impactful and effective spatial environments.en
dc.description.abstractgeneralLight, as a fundamental element of design, holds immense influence over individual's reactions to space and is indispensable for human existence. Human beings possess the ability to adapt and shape their environment according to their needs. It is crucial to comprehend the multifaceted nature of human beings, including their emotions and cognitive biases, at every stage of life. Through skillful manipulation of light, we can elicit authentic emotions and trigger physiological responses, establishing a deeper emotional connection between individuals and their surroundings. This thesis endeavors to explore the intricate interplay between human beings and their spatial environment, with a specific focus on lighting as the primary architectural element.en
