Critical examination on the perception of artificial light in creation of poetics of space with special reference to selected hotels in Sri Lanka

Abstract

If architecture is considered articulating a given pouch of space; poetry of space-which has its own dimensions-light. is also one of the elements which are inseparable. Artificial light, has had a tremendous impact on the way in which architecture has been redefined and expressed. Its ability to define, manipulate, distort and create poetics of space demonstrates its ethereal quality as one of the most intimate spatial experiencing.
