Abstract


This article tackles the problem of the distorsion of spatial values in buildings brought about by altering original natural illumination. This phenomenon is on the increase do to the installation of artificial electrical lighting in structures that were planned and built before these systems came into use. Said lighting systems attempt to substitute solar light but fail to respect the atmosphere created by natural light in these structures. The article looks at three buildings which are representative of Spanish architecture: the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Monastery of El Escorial and Córdoba's "Mezquita" (Mosque).
