 abstract={This paper concerns the rooting of architecture in place by means of operating with sunlight. It discusses the features of rooted architecture and its value as a contemporary method of design that answers current environmental needs. Afterwards, it analyses operating with sunlight in architecture and points to its role in building mutual and strong place–architecture relations. In a multiple-case study, it presents selected projects from the Japanese and Western cultural regions by Peter Zumthor and Kengo Kuma, who are architects that accentuate the character of a place and the role of light in their designs. It was found that operating with sunlight in architecture can be an important factor in its rootedness if it expresses the natural and cultural place-based constraints. The methods of operating with sunlight used to do so are identified, especially choreography and orchestration of sunlight, as well as the methods that stem from identifying and either continuing or interpreting the cultural aspects of light in a given place.},
