This book is an essay on the role of light as an essential material in architectural creation.
From an interdisciplinary perspective, the author explores how light shapes space, influences the perception of time, and becomes the link between architecture and life itself.
With forewords by Joseph Rykwert and Alberto Campo Baeza, the book reflects on the capacity of light to transform, humanize, and give meaning to architectural spaces. In 152 pages, Valero explores concepts such as natural and artificial light, light as an instrument of abstraction, and its role in heritage conservation and contemporary innovation. Each chapter is accompanied by historical and contemporary examples that illustrate the symbiotic relationship between architecture and light.
The book combines theory and practice, drawing on the author's direct experience and dialogues with architectural masters. From the Pantheon in Rome to the works of Le Corbusier, Valero analyzes how light has been a constant source of inspiration and challenge for architects throughout history.
Intangible Matter is essential reading for architects, students, and anyone interested in understanding how light, an immaterial and free resource, can become the most valuable and transformative element of architectural design.
