She does this while examining the meaning of light in relation to those inhabiting the space. In this groundbreaking book, Millet bridges gaps that currently exist between how architecture is taught in schools and what methods are practiced in the profession. She deftly examines the relationships among:
- qualitative and quantitative aspects of lighting
- the complementary use of daylighting and electric lighting
- poetic and practical approaches to lighting
- In "Light Revealing Experience" she looks at ways in which light connects us to climate, time, and specific places and activities (such as reading).
- In "Light Revealing Form" Millet discusses the formal, material, and structural aspects of buildings as they are revealed in light.
- In "Light Revealing Space" the author explores the ways in which light defines the boundary between inside and outside, affects spatial definition, and provides orientation.
- In "Light Revealing Meaning" Millet considers the conceptual side of light: contemplative light, theatrical light, metaphorical light, symbolic light, and divine light.
