The result can cause one to know what is unknowable without the presence of light and make one aware of what was unknown to them, as well as, revealing what is greater than themselves. The objective is to explore and design spaces that progressively lift the eyes of the observer with natural lighting techniques. Natural light is used to create a better sense of physical and spiritual awareness.ETDIn CopyrightArchitectureReligiousSpiritualMeditationChapelLightNatural LightNatureThesis
