Abstract
The multifaceted role of light, including defining space, enhancing efficiency, and adding beauty to the environment, has made it one of the essential pillars of architecture. Concerns regarding the quality of natural light and lighting with it are influenced by human needs, in which the process of aesthetic perception plays a prominent role. This process goes beyond creating suitable conditions to support visual function and is influenced by objective and subjective factors, where the objective aspect acts as a foundation for the subjective aspect. Consequently, understanding the aesthetic characteristics in the architecture's physical form becomes fundamentally important. The aim of this paper is to identify the physical aesthetic components of natural light in home architecture and find the relationship between them. To this end, the research method is designed as a combination of descriptive and content analysis methods. Initially, library and documentary data are collected and analyzed to form the theoretical basis of the research. Then, based on the non-probability sampling method, instances are selected and preliminary information is gathered from them through field methods. Finally, content analysis is used to perform initial and conceptual coding of the data to identify the physical aesthetic components of light. For this purpose, library tools, databases, observation, and MAXQDA software are utilized. The results of this article reveal ten components: "brightness-darkness," "visual order-dispersion," "complexity-simplicity of light," "warm-cool color," "visual legibility-ambiguity," "visual transparency-concealment," "visual distinction-uniformity," "visual mystery-clarity," "light hierarchy," and "visual continuity." These components illustrate how natural light plays a role in shaping and connecting different spaces within the home. By elucidating these components, it can be concluded that light plays two fundamental roles in beautifying the physical form of the home: first, light as a space creator and secondly, light as a space connector.
