The Light Of Hope

In the villages of Burkina Faso, for example, where iwanbaan shot the photos for his latest book project, light means heat. So, here is this incredible contrast between outdoor spaces and theexcess of light and heat and the pitch black interiors of homes (often built with thick, earthen walls and containing a single small window). Sometimes the walls are painted white to help offset the deep darkness created by the thick walls and lack of windows.So we have adapted the Light-guiding tube to the local environment so that the house has plenty of light but does not feel extra hot.
