LINGUISTIC DEFINITION Luminosity: the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light. It can be explained and connected with a common concept: light. To some extent, we can hold the view that light creates luminosity. Luminosity can be considered as a volume or a noun. to describe or subscribe some shining stuff such as sunshine, moonlight, some light sources and so on.
PHILOSOPHICAL MEANINGS Luminosity has many different meanings in culture, society and scientific research and other areas. Sun provides energy to our earth through sunlight and moonlight, which is the reason that why all those creatures can maintain their lives and live on this planet. Human neither cannot live without light especially the nuclear energy, petroleum and coal and other substances. They are from the ancient times of the sun to get the energy, and now our lives are always inseparable from these. In social environment, people used to use luminosity as a positive meaning. Compared with light and luminosity, darkness has usually been used to express a negative attitude. Due to human’s basic comprehension about luminosity, religions begin to take this concept into their faith, which makes luminosity meaningful.

CASE STUDY For the luminosity study, I want to focus on a quite famous modern architecture called CCTV headquarters designed by office for Metropolitan Architecture, Ove Arup and his partners in CBD of Beijing, China. Luminosity is quite significant to the buildings especially the company headquarters. And glass is a relatively useful material to adopt natural light in buildings. The whole building uses glass to decorate the façade which is good for ventilation and lighting. And the outer surface of the glass curtain wall consists of many irregular geometric and unique shapes which makes the headquarters vibrant, beautiful and fashionable. Another important element is structure. The shape and structure can also influence the lighting and shadow. The main building is not a traditional tower building, but a loop of six horizontal and vertical sections, providing an irregular grid on the building’s facade with an open window in the middle part. The construction of the building is considered to be a structural challenge, especially because it is in a seismic zone. But the designers and builders finished it successfully. The two tower buildings of the CCTV headquarters are tilted 6 degrees in two directions, the “L” shaped cantilever structure is tightly connected with them. From a technical point of view, the CCTV headquarters could be considered as a high-tech modern architecture. It’s a common knowledge that different location has different climate, temperature, wind direction, sunlight angle and many other geographic elements or even some unique features. This is also an important point that designers need to consider about. Considering the CCTV headquarters is in Beijing and designed for a national central television company, it has to be spectacular, solemnly with a high efficient use. Because the usable area of the building is up to 473,000 m2 , the architects need to design it comfortably wherever people in it. Because of the open area designed in the middle part, the glass appearance and the unique shape and degrees of the building, lighting of the building is very excellent. From those pictures taken from different views we can find that the building can receive the direct straight natural light almost from every angle and view. Luminosity influences enormously in modern architecture which we also need to pay attention to. The CCTV headquarters could be a good example in this case study for luminosity.

study of bird’s nest stadium Bird’s Nest Stadium is a modern and famous spatial architecture designed for 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Architects designed it originally because of the inspiration of ‘nest’. They used a steel structure to create a fantastic and functional stadium not just for the Summer Olympics but also for further use.
good for ventilation and natural light
The special construction has many obvious and potential advantages. For example, the big hole above the middle part is good for lighting and ventilation. The shape could keep the visitors and audiences away from bad natural weather and direct sunlight. The nest shape enlightens a new feeling of stadium which means some novel and common concepts could also been mixed together perfectly.

CASE STUDY: REFLECTION Definition:
Basically, reflection is a physical concept that a change of direction when a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that it returns into the media from which it comes. Some common examples are light, sound and some other waves. And there are some normal media like water, mirror and glass.
Philosophical meaning:
Reflection as a common natural physical phenomenon exists in our daily life and brings us many interesting and fantastic surprises and miracles. And this will give people a feeling of rejoice and relaxation. In modern society, people usually have a lot of pressure which come from realistic life and inner spirit. To some extent, those natural phenomenon could help people release their pressures effectively. For example, the reflection of light between air and water has so many interesting and amazing things and events. The pictures above show us some fantastic views because of the reflection of light. Because of some features of reflection, people usually can see an identical but symmetrical world through it. This gives people an amazing illusion that there is another fake world in the reflection. Due to this, many religions or beliefs take the concept of reflection into their myths or doctrines. And even some fairy tales also use it such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Those masterpieces enrich people’s spiritual world.
19
CASE STUDY: REFLECTION Reflection has significant meanings in architecture. It has practical and useful functions in space creating and lighting using. For example, an architect may need to design a very small space for some certain use but it is really limited. Then maybe he or she can use the laws of reflection to design the space to create larger horizons and views to make client feel wider and more comfortable. As I mentioned above, people usually have their imaginations and dreams about reflection because of the magical upside down phenomenon. Many architects prefer to build some architecture and buildings near the water body like lake, river or sea. Reflection gives the public more space to imagine that what if there is another identical architecture under the water body. As a consequence, this will make architecture more mysterious and unearthly. Another significant element of building’s reflection is glass. Though water and glass both use the reflection of light, they have some differences at some aspects. For example, glass could be used on the structure and appearance directly while water can just be placed in the building or near it. The City of Arts and Sciences is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the 12 Treasures of Spain. And the City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the River Turia. This architecture inspires me a lot and that’s why I want to do a case study for it. I think that the City of Arts and Sciences externalizes the application of reflection perfectly. The main building, which is called ’the eye of knowledge’ is built on riverbank of the River Turia with glass in some specific part. The Hemesferic is the centrepiece of the City of Arts and Sciences. It is the first building completed in 1998 of the whole city and the shape looks like half of an eye. The architect used reflection in this building which is quite interesting. The bottom of the pool is glass, creating the illusion of the eye as a whole. And the underground space is illuminated with the use of translucent glass panels which is full of originality. The Hemesferic is a unique example for me to understand reflection of architecture. The novel design and wonderful combination make the city a masterpiece in the world.

DEFINITION When light strikes from one substance into another one, generally, some may be reflected, some absorbed, some scattered, and the rest transmitted. And the definition of opacity is the quality of lacking transparency or translucence. It is an antithetic concept compared with transparency or clearness. People also use it to describe the quality of being obscure in meaning in architecture or daily life.
opacity case study
PHILOSOPHICAL MEANING Practically, opacity is a relative concept. For instance, some materials like glass and plastic which transparent in the visual range are largely opaque to ultraviolet light. However, there are also many natural things could bring people the sense of opacity such as the shadow of plants and leaves and the shelter of caves and stones. From ancient times, buildings are built to provide people a place to rest and protect them from bad weathers. And the protection of these opaque obscures and corners give people a sense of safety to against their natural enemies. As a consequence, opacity became an invisible but necessary requirement in the next development process of architecture. Nowadays, opacity has already become an important requirement in our modern society because people are paying more attention to their privacy. As a consequence, builders and building material producers decide to produce more building materials which can block sight and protect people’s privacy better. Therefore, people’s aesthetic ability is getting closer to hazy beauty.
CASE STUDY Opacity is a popular focus point of contemporary architectural photography, changing the way that we look at architecture and urbanism today. To avoid considering that spaces can only been separately by walls in architecture, some opaque materials and design methods are needed. Atelier 8000 has designed a sustainable mountain hut called the Kežmarská Chata (Kežmarská Hut) for Slovakia’s Mountain Tatras in an international competition. And the design is so unique that attracts people’s attention at once. Although the hut is just a pure cube, however, it only has one corner supporting on the ground and this makes the whole building higher and more fashionable.
29
First of all, the hut is designed as a hotel on a high mountain, which means it won’t be exposed too much and frequently to the public. High altitude and relatively less visitors bring it a sense of mystery. What is more, the hut building only has a small part attaching to the mountain which looks like suspending in the air. Visitors who live in it could feel that they are away from the earth. And people will also feel safe, suitable and comfortable because of the distance between them and other costumers.
opacity case study
Last but not least, the material they decide to use is very significant as well because it shows more details and influences people’s feeling to some extent. Transparent surfaces allow full visual connection while creating physical separation. Translucent surfaces create partial visual separation with either full or partial physical separation. Relationships between two spaces can be made complex when you begin to combine these three qualities in a single space or single surface. All the windows of the building are not vertical to the floor but the lines of the whole cube building which is very novel and elegant to me. The internal structure is irregular but reasonable, creating a great space for people to stay and enjoy. In conclusion, the design of the hut has fully considered the commands and privacy of its visitor. Living in this house, leaning against the wall and holding a cup of coffee to enjoy the scenery outside the window, will greatly satisfy the safety and happiness of travelers. This may reach the most successful point of a hotel.

DEFINITION Filtration is a procedure that people can use any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations to separate solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by adding a medium through which can only let the filtrate pass through.
PHILOSOPHICAL MEANING In modern society, filtration has been used widely in architecture even people’s daily life. With the increase of people’s demands and the improvement of living standards, the types and species of items that need to be filtered are also increasing such as sound, light, and air. For example, a nice house now can be defined as a quiet and comfortable place with abundant area of vegetation. Apart from those physical filtration, people also start to pay attention to the ‘spiritual filtration’. The pressures of life are squeezing people’s happiness and satisfaction, as a consequence, we also need to filter the troubles and the sorrow things out of our life. Filtering ourselves to do spiritual purification is also an important way to get self-satisfaction.
CASE STUDY
filtration case study
Because of the development of modern city, the society now has more requirements to city buildings and architects. The problem of pollution such as noise, light and exhaust gas has become very serious in cities, and many measures are urgently needed to alleviate this phenomenon. However, the construction process of the buildings will inevitably produce a certain amount of construction waste. To reduce the pollution caused by the building, we need to make the building itself has abilities to reduce pollution. As a result, architects have heavier responsibilities of their work and they need to design more innovative buildings that can solve the problems of the city very well.
39
Fortunately, green plants can filter most of the exhaust gas and reduce the noise greatly. In order to reduce the impact of urban pollution problems to people’s life, architects began to increase more green plants in their building design. And this has become a significant way to solve the pollution issues.
filtration case study
Green plants can be planted on the surface of buildings and can also be planted on rooftops, balconies and indoors. The appearance of many creative green wall designs has also inspired the architects to develop more design ideas in architecture. Unique green walls and surfaces can increase the vegetation area and reduce the pollution at the same time and create a beautiful appearance that can leave people a deep impression. It is worth mentioning that there is another way to reduce pollution, which is using natural resources rationally such as light, wind or rainwater and so on. Setting up useful devices of collecting energy in buildings can increase the utilization of natural resources and reduce the use of other non-renewable energy. And this also reduces pollutions and allows us to protect our environment better. In conclusion, building an environmentally friendly building will become one of the important tasks of architects in the future. And establishing the concept of protecting environment is an effective way to reduce pollution fundamentally.
