MY OPINION ABOUT THE VIDEO In the video the architect Simon talks about the importance of light in architecture. Illumination at every location is different, for example the light in Tokyo is not the same that the illumination in Prague or Barcelona. I agree with the assertion of Simon because the environment characteristics are different in each place and the architect should take them into account. Each building must be designed according to the specific characteristics of the place. In Venezuela the climate is tropical and therefore architects should design thinking of that.
