Light Study

Definition Luminosity refers to the brightness of the astronomical object. It is the amount of energy emitted by the astronomical object such as a star or sun. Luminosity is related to optics, the brightness provides a certain wavelength as it appears to the eye, measured as the ratio of luminous flux to radiant flux at that wavelength. Luminosity also means something being luminous, brilliant and enlightened.

Philosophical meanings -Luminosity & Illumination Luminosity and illumination in philosophical meanings can be the process of the inspiration of minds and ideas. The language of inspiration is based on the entry of illumination on the entry of light into the mind. As Plato and other thinkers said that the sudden flash of un-derstanding or insight in the mind is as a flood of light. Plato described the process of un-derstanding and knowledge through the analogy of light. The knowledge and the ideas in minds occur as the awareness of material objects accessible to the eye's vision when illu-minated by the light of the sun. An intellectual light is emanated from the supreme form. Understandings is based on the intellectual illumination of the mind and its objects, as vi-sion relies on a physical illumination of the eye and objects.

Meaning in architecture- Fluid Luminosity: The Architectural Lighting of Zaha Hadid Zaha Hadid take an essential role in luminous design in architecture, she provided a vari-ous of remarkable architecture lighting projects. She collects an abundance of daylight, which it shows the remarkable development of luminous legacy. Light became an essential element in revealing and interpreting her architecture. Light makes a connection between architecture and our perception. We sense forms and materials with our eyes not directly but through the reflected light. Luminosity in architecture can be another way for express-ing an architect’s design thoughts. The use of luminous lines was in Hadid’s early work such as Vitra Fire Station. Luminous lines is either luminaires or windows. luminous lines is inserted in the ceiling, the gap between wall, ground and the roof. It can reinforce and highlight the linear pattern with sharp edges and building structures. In the interior, lumi-naires echo the lines and diffuse inside and outside illumination to counteract the energy of the building's forms. In other projects, Zaha Hadid transforms urban lines into luminous strips. Some other design patterns also were converted and integrated into luminous strips. Luminous strips express and interweaves the surrounding landscape and Zaha’s design. The transition to fluid design is the turning point in Zaha Hadid’s light design. Un-like the previous design of line and share edges, Zaha Hadid’s design form changed to curved shapes and transit to fluid designs. It made coherent forms flow from windows to ceiling in the project, The Phaeno Science Centre. Luminaries and rhombus-shaped win-dows was provided in the building’s facade, it generates a holistic formal approach for visi-tors compassing both daylight and artificial lighting. A new stage for the design of light and fluidity is The Nordpark Railway Station. Light is reflected by glass rather than be ab-sorbed by concrete. The reflectance of the surfaces was increased for stunning mirror im-ages. Complex mirror images stimulate the viewer's perception, while moving around the station.

The station radiates an energetic glow as the illumination at night. After that, Hadid enhanced fluidity with daylight and lighting. Luminous design provided a visual effect for people, people’s feelings will be influenced through the lighting in the building. For in-stance, the light patterns in Guangzhou Opera House generates a warm and glossy at-mosphere and express a starry sky and the reflections in waterfalls. Luminosity is regard-ed as an important dimension of architecture. http://www.archdaily.com/868157/fluid-luminosity-the-architectural-lighting-of-zaha-hadid

Formal & spatial study of precedent

Reflection is the process that

light and heat are returned from a surface without absorbing it. A beam of light or heat reflected from a surface makes with a line vertical to another surface.

Reflection is also the image that can be seen in a mirror or any reflective surface. Reflection is the result of something, it also can means the attitude and opinion about something or someone.

Philosophical meanings - Reflection and theory Reflection theory is the idea of people knowledge reflecting the real world. There are some different interpretations for reflection theory. One of reflection theory is about observation, our ideas are generated through our consciousness and sensation from outside world. Our knowledge is based on the ideas of the reflection of objects that give rise to them.

Therefore, the connection between objective world and subjective idea is contingent. Another reflection theory explained that there is no dualist distinction of subjective and objective.The material world is known by consciousness, as consciousness reflects material reality that it was tested and practiced.

Case study- Veiled in Brilliance: How Reflective Facades Have Changed Modern Architecture As the transparency of glass architecture was supported and promoted in modernism, numerous uniform glazing skyscrapers was built because of the consciousness of the monotony of large glass facades. Due to this situation, more and more architects abandon ed the monotonous glass facade and created innovative design for glass architecture, which it renewed the condition of glass architecture.

Glass and metal were designed as crystalline and reflective images through the belief of light and brilliance. Light and brilliance can promote iconic architecture. More and more architectures were transformed the internal space-form to external surface.

Some design thoughts such as coloured glass and shimmer skin of architecture occurred.

The Elbphilharmonie was designed by Herzog & de Meuron in Hamburg, it creates curved glass elements and distorts the perception of the city, water and sky. The glass facade create a shimmer skin and reflect the city, water and sky. Unlike the design of monotonous glass facade, unique curved glass facade not only reinforces the shiny reflections of the sky, but also it makes a closed link with water and surroundings in city. The curves of the balconies reflects the light as bright lines. Some dot points and screens in curved facade expresses a liquid image and make a connection with water. As the abstract and complex glass facade provided mirror effect and reflected the vivid view of city, the Elbphilharmonie is as a magic eyecather.

Not only glass can express the brilliance of architecture, but also mental is good for the aesthetic of brilliance. The design of building is considered as a sparkling jewels in city. Walt Disney Concert Hall was designed by Frank Gehry, the use of reflective facade is titanium sheets. Titanium sheets are good at reflecting sunbeam and clouds, providing a shining and sparkling reflection in city. Titanium sheets in the Walt Disney Concert Hall was created in different positions and directions, which its forms became dynamic and interesting. Frank Gehry’s design achieve a new development in the brilliance of architecture and influences in other architectural projects.

For expressing the brilliance in architecture, the facade of Selfridges Birmingham store was created with a dense mesh of aluminium discs. Those aluminium discs attract people’s views and promote their sensation and haptic feeling. This reflective facade refers to the colour and the brightness of the sky. Also, it eliminates the mirror effect, other buildings are not reflected in the facade.

South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute in Adelaide is also used with aluminium facade. In order to preventing the harsh sunlight, Woods Bagot enveloped the entire building by aluminum sunshades.

The materials and patterns of reflective forms can be determined by different factors such as surrounding environment, political issues and the meaning of building. To gain more attractions and build a spectacle-oriented city, veils currently focus on abstract and complex form to improve the brilliance, material is also considered while designing the form.
