The light as a vehicle in an extra material design

Abstract

Light was always an import part of architectural design to achieve a 3D form of composed structured. There was also employment of a light to underline structure of materials. Both a natural sunlight as well as an artificial light had been used in that task. New research brought us new evidence of another form of a light use to achieve a spectacular effect of an extra material interpretation. A unique solution observed in the St. Sophia Cathedral (Sobor) in Kyiv had not yet been discussed. Analysis and understanding of this solution maybe be a crucial element of future designs.
