The light is an important element which helps people perceive objects. Therefore, it is important\nfor architects to make the light and space be in harmony with each other. In this study, we analyzed\nthe works of Alvaro Siza with a view to understand the conceptual value of the light expressed\nin his works and his principles in controlling it. According to the results of the study, the\nSiza�s architecture is not a mere theoretical one trapped inside formality, but is a sensual and experiential\none based on the locality. He was willing to use void spaces to invite the light in freeflowing\nplans, in order to invigorate and extend architectural spatiality to create deeper visual effect.\nIn addition, the refined light in his works helped visitors experience the continuous forms\nand spaces by their own movements, while using the changes of the light to stimulate the interest\nof visitors and highlight the sequence of spaces.
