Pathway The Braggs is a lecture theater and it may have lecture everyday, which will cause human traffic jam when lecture finish. Engineering has a large amount of students, they wait to have class or classes ending it may become more crowded.

The Reading Room was planned to hold 15,000 volumes and provide seating for 200 readers. A ground-level bookstack provided capacity for 135,000 volumes, and a proposed stack extension (eventually begun in 1958 to a new design) was projected to bring total accommodation to 500,000 volumes,

Barr Smith Library, University of Adelaide from the main university lawns opposite the gates on Victoria Drive. The building is of red brick with freestone dressing and was built by HSC Jarvis. The portico is of Murray Bridge freestone and was built by SA Monumental Works. Only three Australian libraries are built in classical style on a monumental scale, the Mortlock Wing of the State Library of South Australia, the Barr Smith Library of the University of Adelaide and the circular reading room of the State Library of Victoria, which is modelled on the former Reading Room of the British (Museum) Library.

SHADE & SHADOW AMBIENT LIGHT 11
LUMINOSITY Luminosity is a kind of light, which can make architecture different. It is also a material to build different space and visual design. Luminosity is also a term that astronomers use to describe the brightness of an object in space.
For Louis Kahn, light is the maker of material, and material’s purpose is to cast a shadow.

Yale University Art Gallery, ca. 1954.
Natural science development of the modern philosophy of “contact” luminosity of the link: “society never agree with the empty ideas, the luminosity would not bring any real return. When people try to see what the time, just with the luminosity of the eternal If people try to be obsessed with abstract ideas, they are as empty as capturing luminosity. When people occasionally question ‘when the cloud is moving or moving in the heart’, it will awaken the depth of consciousness: heaven, earth, everything All things, there is a connection in every process, all because of the life given its meaning. The degree of direct use of luminosity reflects the progress of society as the most common material, if the luminosity with the way of life, the meaning of life these most abstract ideas linked to means that civilization reaches the ultimate rationality is not difficult to imagine, with the passage of time, The benefits of the use of the way to update, improve the way, social progress.
A Glimpse of Light Elucidated the Level of Darkness Louis Kahn (20/2/1901 – 17/3/1974) was not only one of the great modern Architects, but also a master in his use of natural light. Other than most architects, he used light not merely as a surface effect, but as primary means of shaping space. He said, “I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent Light. What is made by Light casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.” In his work ‘Yale University Art Gallery’, I find in Kahn´s world, light is to be sought not only as a physical, animating source, but for its natural symbolism, for its metaphorical, poetic and spiritual meanings. Just like “A plan of a building should be read like a harmony of spaces in light. Even a space intended to be dark should have just enough light from some mysterious opening to tell us how dark it really is. Each space must be defined by its structure and the character of its natural light.” In lesser architecture, light is often an afterthought, or perhaps an isolated aspect of the design. In Kahn´s best work, natural light is already in the “DNA” of the building, intertwined with its most fundamental characteristics: use, structure, scale, ideas of place and locale. Kahn encouraged architects to read a plan not merely as a diagram of use, but as a pattern of “light, no-light, light, no-light....” For him, “The decision for structure is a decision for light.” The use of light design and construction, through the changes in light to make a variety of buildings, to the building more development space. Classic black and white contrast, will make the light more vivid image.
