The purpose of this study was to investigate the variations in light in various interior spaces, throughout the course of a whole year. It is divided in two distinct but complementing parts: one practical the other theoretical. In the practical part, several series of drawings are developed, where the action of light is registered in three interior spaces, of four buildings from different eras. Most of these drawings are executed in situ, by direct observation of natural light, and its alterations in space, over time. In these series of drawings, at least four yearly periods were registered, corresponding to the four seasons, but in some series diurnal and nocturnal variations were also registered. The theoretical part is a reflection on the various issues raised by the practical body of work. These issues weren’t confined inside a single field of knowledge; therefore they were addressed in an open and comprehensive way. This experience turned away from “our contemporary experience, beset by an anti-humanist specialization defect, where the individual trees of each particular technical discipline, prevent us from seeing the forest where they interrelate.” Thought was directed to perception in itself, to light and shadow, and time: time as an implicit cycle, but also other ways of understanding time. This study is also an investigation on space, change and contemplation, inherent to this work, but also to very act of drawing
