The modern architecture is wisely applying the color-light for the enhancement of its effect around the world. People see the architectural constructions during the day under various natural lights and environment from the sun-rise till sun-set. The above architectural construction (Plate10) is a suitable example of such use of light that enhances the quality and appearance of the structure.
