One of the world’s oldest and most famous skylights can be found in the Roman Pantheon. The structure was erected in the 1st century AD and it remains one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Italy. Its skylight is more formally known as an oculus, which is the Latin word for eye. The oculus clearly has symbolic meaning. But as an architectural design tool, skylights serve a very simple purpose—they let more light in than traditional windows!
When used in modern buildings and in homes, skylights help brighten almost any drab space. But the job is not easy. Even though they’ve been around for thousands of years, installing a skylight takes experience and skill. The job must be done right if it is to last. When correctly installed, a modern skylight should be able to withstand the wind, rain and flying debris that are generated by hurricanes and tropical storms.
