Summary/Abstract: Daylight matters to all of us - on first place for the sense of time and space, but also for our health, good mood, biological rhythm, etc., although we only become aware of this fact when it is lacking. Architects, from the Antiquity to today try to bring daylight in every room they are creating. Even if we have artificial light for the last 100 years - because of electricity and the bulb created by Thomas Edison, we still need every day natural daylight to be healthy – for the specific spectrum of daylight, for the change of color of light through the days and the seasons, and for many other reasons daylight is unique for our health. That’s why It is very important, for architects and designers, to know the impact of daylight when making all kind of buildings and their interiors, because we, architects, are responsible for the health of their inhabitants, and especially when it concerns children – nurseries, schools, or illness - when we design hospitals, or offices and factories - where people will spend most of their lives.
