Abstract
Our life experience can be enriched by observation; acknowledging this as a way of "seeing" can positively influence architectural design. This thesis records personal observation of light and looks to historical precedents in which natural light is revered as an element that both defines space and emphasizes importance of place. The culmination of this course of study is a project for light in which a monumental sundial becomes an amphitheater for the town of Newport, Virginia.
