DESCRIPTION:Architecture is associated with increased levels of complexity
  and technical knowledge\, but this should not imply the lack of intuitive
  inspiration. Tactile experiences favour an explicit knowledge of the impo
 rtance of space\, matter and the location of opacity in relation to daylig
 ht. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of daylighting design inte
 ntions should be at the forefront of creative thinking in architecture and
  environmental design. Analysing images obtained from actual spaces and ph
 ysical models in relation to the latest digital technologies can reinforce
  the interpretation of daylighting design and performance of a spatial con
 figuration at the speculative stage of composition. This presentation focu
 ses on a design methodology based on image analysis and tactile manipulati
 ons using digital and analogical techniques applied to actual architectura
 l projects.
