This research aims to provide deeper insight into how light can evoke sensory and emotional responses through the interplay of art and architecture. The study is based on both literature and visual analysis of the collaborative work between architect Tadao Ando and artist James Turrell. In Naoshima, Japan, Ando designed the Chichu Art Museum, where several of Turrell’s installations are permanently exhibited. In this collaboration, they use geometry, materiality, and the interplay of light and darkness to shape perception. Ando’s design prepares visitors for the transcendent qualities of Turrell’s light installations. Through a carefully orchestrated, labyrinthine route, with the gradual shifting of natural light. Both Tadao Ando and James Turrell seeking Architecture to capture light and preserve its presence in a fixed space, carefully harnessing its spirit. By bringing light into our consciousness, it evokes a sense of something greater than the self.
