In the following research thesis the relationship of three main concepts is addressed: architecture, light and emotion, understanding that architecture is not only a matter of physical structures and materials, but also has the power to evoke sensations in people, here delves into how architecture has the ability to communicate supported by the theory of the revolutionary architect Etienne Louis Boullée, who spent much of his life dedicated to his relevant architectural works developing his theory on talking architecture, where he mentions that architecture communicates through scale, form, materiality, void and light. Every line, every shape and every design choice can convey a message and provoke an emotional response in whoever experiences it; However, in order to ensure that architecture creates emotional responses in people, it is important to talk about light, based on Peter Zumthor’s ideas about the interaction between light and materiality, where he maintains that they are intrinsically linked and together they can generate a variety of emotional sensations in the occupants of a building. He maintains that by carefully choosing materials and manipulating the entry of light, emotion can be created. In this order of ideas, it is understood that thanks to the interaction of light with the architectural space, architecture is transformed into a catalyst of emotions, that is, thanks to the shaped interaction of light with the elements that architecture uses to communicate. (scale, materiality, form and void) architecture is capable of provoking people’s minds. Based on the theories of Boulee and Zumthor, it is established that architecture is not only a construct of materials and functions, it is a means of communication, a story to tell through its lines and volumes. Thus the project creates a union between architecture and light, whose interaction gives meaning for the people.
