Opis

The book provides a basic understanding of light and colour, and their significance for humans in the spatial context. It provides background context, facts and possible approaches; it is neither a manual of how to use colour and light practical or aesthetically, nor it is a traditional presentation of given aesthetic principles or doctrines.
