The element is such important to Man that comprehension of the regular solar cycles represented a large advance for the unnumbered civilizalions spread all over the terrestrial globe. The recognition of solar light as a vital support to life, originated its worship and representation of several goddess in the different religions. Architecture did not dismiss the relationship of dependence that Man has wilh Sun. Since the moment that conscientiously this art opened the first spot for light entrance, the building adapted to the climacteric demand imposed by the Sun. This star molded not only the lifestyle of civilizations, but also the way they interact with the buildings due to their latitude.

For that purpose Centro Galego de Arte Contemporânea, Centro de Artes de Sines and Centro de Arte Contemporânea de Bragança - Graça Morais, three works of portuguese architects, were analyzed with the objective to identify the common elements of light manipulation in buildings of this type that make them exemplar architectonic objects.
