How night has shaped architectural planning throughout history

For centuries, architectural theory, discourse and agency have been based on diurnal and solar paradigms. References to night in Vitruvius's De architectura are few, and the same absence is notable in Renaissance treatises by Alberti or Palladio. It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that the invention and institutionalization of artificial light in private and public spaces gradually transformed conceptions of night in the architectural discipline.
