Daylight is constantly changing and it cannot be  controlled by the architect. However it can be used to create different spatial effects by changing the size and location of its openings. There are three main openings from which light can enter a room: The bright open hall. Consists of just a roof supported by columns. offers a variety of lighting effects in different parts of the room. To most people good light means much light.But the quantity of the light is not as important as the quality of the light.A front light is considered poor light because it gives minimum shadow,  no plastic effect and poor textural effect. The room with the skylight.It is closed in all the sides and opened at the top. It can be planned so the light is equally good in all parts of the room. One of the most important examples is the Pantheon. The room with the light entering from the side. This is the most common type of room. A typical example are Dutch houses. Light comes from different angles

In his book Experiencing Architecture, Rasmussen gives examples of buildings with a great influence in architecture and in understanding scale and proportion. The most important were Le Courbusier's house in Garches and Villa Foscari designed by Palladio. He compares them by emphasising their different ways in proportion and organisation, but also by showing their similarities. Scale is a concept which refers to the way we perceive or judge the size of something compared to a reference standard or to the size of something else and the proportional relationship between two sets of dimensions. Scale is also a mathematical relationship between an object and a measurable quantity. In architecture scale is used to specify the relationship between the drawing and the actual building. Visual Scale refers to how big or small something appears to be in relation to its normal size Hierarchical scale It refers to the use of size in order to communicate the differences in importance.(

In this lesson i learned that buildings represent a form of communication, a language, therefore in their own way they have vocabularies, syntax, and evolve into forms taking basis in the old ones or contrasting them. A building that reaches to contain communication in themselves and express them gently and elegantly are considered good architecture. Architects may communicate concerns through buildings by emphasising some forms and suppressing others. They have several ways architects use to communicate: visual communication which includes light direction, strength, and colour is the primary and clearest form of perception. After that comes temperature, humidity and texture. The image that the building communicates is crucial because the image influences the attitude and behavior of the users of the building. The architect should formulate a hierarchical list depending on the importance of the concepts to the users of the building. Next comes choosing the design technique and then

In terms of senses we classify types of design as visual, auditory and audiovisual. 1.Visual, static, surface design is a two dimensional design, sometimes slightly curved or in the form of a polyhedral surface. The basic elements of this design are colour,  line, and texture. This design has three subcategories. -Strip design : long and narrow, is is extended mostly in one dimension lengthwise as in ribbons. borders, and architectural mouldings. This type of design can give an illusion of a 3D design. - Bounded-area design is a design limited within a 2D given area. This type can also be flat or slightly three dimensional as i paintings. it can be asymmetrical, irregular, and free-flowing suggesting moods attitudes. - Allover design is unbounded in two dimensions with a tendency to indefinite repetition or prolongation in two dimensions and four directions. In this type of design units are not arranged along a single main axis but they flow allover the background. this type o
