Shadow less modernism
lf l remember rightly, I have seen buildings of Classical modernism
that celebrate the light and the landscape. Richard Neutra’s houses in
California, for example. Shadows do not seem to loom large in these
architectural compositions. But brightness does, light and air and the
outdoor view, the sensation of living in the landscape, of having the
/landscape flow into or through the rooms inside-the landscape with
all of its lights and shadows.Watching the sun set in these houses is
a magnificent experience. Later, when the house is no longer illuminated from outside, it has to generate its own lighting, its own illuminated atmosphere. With human light.
