In the report of the artwork titled “Modular Ceramic Sun Shades Created for the Architecture-Ceramic Relationship,” the concept of shadow was primarily focused on. The importance of the use of daylight in architecture for building design and the decisive role of the light-shadow relationship in the perception of space are mentioned. It has been explained how changes in the sun's route and angle affect daylight and therefore buildings, and the contribution of common skylight and direct sunlight to comfort if they are included in the design with the right control. Calculation methods that can be used while designing a sunshade are explained. Shade elements that can be used in the building envelope are exemplified and sunshades are classified. After the classification made, qualified sunshade examples that have been applied in the world in the field of architecture have been examined.
