The relation between light and architecture can be categorized into three, namely Process, Presentation, and Outcome.

Process (the way light is transmitted, processed)

Absorb* (Photoluminescent)

Presentation (the way light presented in any form)

An outcome of a design can be a collaboration of two or more processes and presentations.
