The goal of this work basically represents the formation of a historical and practical basis on the basis of which it is possible to indicate specific approaches to the use of light design in different civilizational structures and certain periods of their creation.

When it comes to the form of churches, a detailed presentation of their spatial structure has been updated: disposition, construction, materialization, acoustics, lighting. The phenomenon of light has been approached as a physical phenomenon that affects the comfort and practical use of space, and a symbolic phenomenon rich in social and religious meaning. Even today, the concept of good architectural practice is certainly not possible or achievable without a functionally designed lighting concept within a spatial unit and strategically designed units to achieve sufficient optimal amounts of daylight. In architecture in general, light is the starting point, it is not just an opening or a window, i.e. a dome, but an element that is thought about at the very beginning so that all the others make sense at the end.

The intangible and ubiquitous phenomenon of light builds architecture and fills its spaces, appealing to our emotions. Thus, both natural light and artificial lighting serve to get to know special places in the architecture, and then give those places a special character.
