The relationship between architectural form and the natural light within a space is crucial since the form of the building significantly affects the quality, quantity, and distribution of natural light. The design of architectural form has a direct impact on how light enters a space as it determines the openings and shapes that allow light inside. The size and placement of windows, skylights, and other openings influence the amount and direction of the natural light that can penetrate the space. The form can also control the distribution of natural light within the space by affecting how the light reflects and interacts with different surfaces. The form can also have a significant impact on the ambiance of the space created by the natural light and its relationship to the architectural form. Therefore, architectural form and the natural light are interdependent, and the design must consider both aspects together to create a balanced and sustainable design.
