The focus of this thesis is to investigate if diffusedaylight affects human depth perception. It is builtupon previous knowledge and methods of observingand perceiving light brought into a research thatexperiment with different spatial contexts throughscale models. The central position of perceptual cueswithin the human visual field is discussed in relationto perceptual depth and visual elementsThe result of the performed experiement showed apossibility for diffuse daylight to have an effect on theperception of depth.Having the knowledge of building with daylightwill lead to a better understanding of how daylightis affecting our perception of spaces, which potentiallycan improve the ability of creating sustainableperceptual spatial experiences when designing andbuilding with daylight as an integrated part of the design
