Abstract
Recent trends in night illumination designs for building have experienced special roles in the architectural compositions. These roles were the prime factors in enhancing the characters of a building at night and concentrating on the building’s special details and functions thru the definition of its internal and external spaces. The process is mainly teased on two levels; The mental and the practical. Which will ensure the continuity of spaces and the sustainability of its parts within the natural surrounding. Sometime, equal in effect to day light, conditions, if not more effective in showing the main creative features of the artifact. The crux of the problem in the study is represented in the un-ability to define or explain the full extent of the role of the night illumination design on buildings, within the frame of the two levels of the process; i.e.: Mental and practical. Hence, the aim of the research can be identified in the attempt to put down clear dimensions in the process for achieving complete architectural creativity in night illumination designs of buildings. The research indicated to the effectiveness of night illumination designs on buildings in achieving the dominance of its features on the building, then it become possible to draw some conclusions for the study.
