LIGHT

From personal reflections on the connection between architecture and activism to working with the material earth and with Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh: German architect Anna Heringer seeks to highlight situations, people, challenges and solutions that are often not given enough attention. This book presents her contemplations on light in its many forms - discussing the interplay of clay, textiles and natural light as well as the philosophical concepts of light and hope. Heringer's reflec- tions as one of the pioneers of sustainable architecture are accompanied here by her work with the women of Dipdii Textiles, whose embroidered sari blankets serve as a common thread throughout the book.
