Light and shadow belong together. Yet the increasing number of artificial light sources on earth are resulting in continuously decreasing zones of shadow and darkness.

The Secret of the Shadow explores these holes in the light through perceptual psychology, historical accounts of their use in architectural teaching, and an overview of their role in classical modern architecture.
