Martin Schwartz’ research concerns daylight and its broad influence on architectural and urban design, specifically how knowledge of daylight enables architects and urban designers to make a range of design decisions far beyond merely meeting minimum illumination standards. His current scholarship focuses on how daylight influences the generation of architectural space and form. Martin writes a blog about daylight, Architecture in the Light of Day, which may be accessed at martinschwartz.net . He is the author of the book, Gunnar Birkerts: Metaphoric Modernist, published in 2009 and other articles and papers about daylight and architecture.
