Why this project?
Daylight is one of architecture's oldest and most powerful design materials, yet it is often reduced to windows, regulations or energy calculations. This project explores daylight from a broader architectural perspective—bringing together research, design guidance, real buildings and practical methods that help architects create healthier, more comfortable and better-performing buildings.
Why share it?
Free knowledge for open minds.
Knowledge becomes more valuable when it is shared. The publications, design guidance, glossary and other resources on this website are freely available for personal, non-commercial use—without registration, subscriptions or email requirements. The goal is simple: to make architectural knowledge more accessible to students, educators and practicing architects around the world.
About FILETOTH
FILETOTH is an independent long-term initiative exploring architecture through observation, research and design.
Daylighting in Buildings is one of its ongoing projects, bringing together professional practice, university teaching and research into a single educational resource. Every article, publication, photograph, illustration and line of code has been created as part of the project, with an emphasis on clarity, openness and long-term continuity.
Looking ahead
Architecture never stops teaching.
Every project, publication and building offers another opportunity to observe, question and learn. This website will continue to grow through research, photography and collaboration, remaining open to new ideas while staying committed to one principle: helping architects make better-informed design decisions.
