Architect of light, Louis Kahn, has incorporated natural light into architecture in the most beautiful ways that have been inspiration in his act of bridging the gap between modernism and post-modernism. In his successful
designs touched by “the gift of light,” Kahn integrates light through two different building aspects – geometric forms and the division of space. Through of the exploration of Kahn’s National Assembly Building of Bangladesh, ways in which interesting spatial and lighting conditions applied are examined and described. The project is unique for that it is an extraordinary example of modern architecture, but it is also because of its transcription as a part of Bangali vernacular architecture, deeply rooted in its site context. Modern buildings can easily be placed almost anywhere in the world, which does not at all work appropriately with Kahn’s National Assembly.
