G1 YIFAN WANG A1692830 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.
