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.

Social & cultural qualities
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.
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,

Design Precedent Spatial diagrams
The precedent of my two ideas is bird nest, which is made of tree branch. And I just simplity them to triangle and line, then copy and show them in boldface. Finally, got my design.

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.

Reflection is the act of Philosophical meaning reflecting, as in casting back a light or heat, mirroring, or giving back or showing an image; the state of being reflected in this way. The simplest example of visible light reflection is the surface of a smooth exterior wall of a building, where incident light is reflected in an orderly manner to produce a clear image.
REFLECTION
Reflection of light happens when the waves meet a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. Reflections change the light distribution in the space in front of and behind the wall, glass, and mirror. The exterior wall makes the outside brighter because additional light sources appear in the reflective image. However, the appearance of additional light does not violate the conservation of energy principle, because some light no longer reaches behind the wall, glass, and mirror, as them simply re-directs the light energy.

a fusion of complex, swirling forms and captivating materiality that responds intricate program and an industrial urban context. Gehry has also creatively the waterfront setting. Building out over the water and using a combination o ter-filled pools and the river itself, he clouds the boundaries of both, again find flow between building and site. But it is more complicated than that, for from viewpoints inside, the water feels like a protective moat, adding yet another lay perceptions. The towering glass sheathing of the central atrium achieves a pa result, integrating interior and exterior, while the space provides the fulcrum fo surrounding galleries, the stem from which the petals grow. The metallic form o exterior looks almost floral from above, from the ground the building more c resembles a boat, evoking the past industrial life of the port of Bilbao. Construct titanium, limestone, and glass, the seemingly random curves of the exterior ar signed to catch the light and react to the sun and the weather. Fixing clips ma shallow central dent in each of the 0.38mm titanium tiles, making the surface ap to ripple in the changing light and giving an extraordinary iridescence to the o composition. Light is the most important factor in the appreciation and underst ing of Architecture. The relationship between light and architecture is ground the principles of physics; it is about energy and matter but in this particular c also implies an emotional effect on people. And reflection give architecture a way to express mood or influence what people think. Architectures through elem like space, light, reflection and materials, can have on our mood. How can we value to our institutions, public spaces, commercial areas, cultural facilities using However, it is also essential to plan and design the lighting in the most energy effi way to preserve our planet. Therefore, the reflection of light is the most efficient to do that.
