This booklet brings together research from the CCA–WRI Research Fellowship Program 2022–2024, a three-year collaboration between the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) and the Window Research Institute (WRI).

Structured around the three perspectives of Above, Below, and Between, the program brought together nine research fellows from different disciplines to examine light in relation to architecture, environmental transformation, and the material conditions that shape the built environment. Their projects explore how light can be read across contemporary architectural environments and practices.

With an introduction by Rafico Ruiz, the booklet presents research by Emily Doucet, Andrea Alberto Dutto, Casper Laing Ebbensgaard, Oxana Gourinovitch, Gökçe Günel, Tomomi Miyata Sano, Yosuke Nakamoto, Alina Nazmeeva, and Jessica Vaughn.

The PDF version of the booklet is available here.
