Site Study Maths Lawns
This sit is accessible from the pasthway crossing in front of the Barr Smith Library, though the middle of the Bragges and ingkarni and Science buildings on the right, dirirectly off Frome road.

Photo Study Maths Lawns
Use real-life photos to study the effects of light during the day and night in this area. Observe the reflection, refraction and direct sunlight of the daytime. The relationship between the lights at night and the floor glass.

In the south of the day, the buildings on the north and west will block the sunlight, but the sun shines on the glass and can be reflected on this area. At noon, the sun has plenty of sunshine in the area above. In the afternoon,
The area is relatively short of sunshine
when the sun is in the west, some sunlight will enter the area. As the building across the road partially shields the area from the sun, it will weaken.

Site Analysis The area is crowded during the day and hosts many festival parties and events. When people pass through here, they often don’t stay. Here are the main connecting passages of the three buildings. It is hoped that the design can enhance the use of sunlight and lengthen people’s stay time. Strengthen the use of this area.

Light study 1: Luminosity The precise light lines emerge as built manifestations of her suprematist paintings. Although the edges of the interior luminaires echo the sharp concrete lines, the soft, diffuse inside and outside illumination in a way counteracts the energy of the building’s forms. An interesting effect is achieved due to the special light system - interactive light-installation, which was developed by the Faculty of Intermedia Design together with the Faculty of Computer Sciences from University of Applied Sciences. The design of the auditorium is driven by fluidity and seamlessness. Thousands of light pixels in the ceiling remind the audience of a dream-like starry sky. Light patterns on the cascaded balconies evoke the impression of reflections in waterfalls. These waves stand in a clear contrast to the crystalline exterior with the triangular façade pattern. appearing as a merely haptic space of structural ornaments during the day, the complex modular structure changes completely at night. reacting to the movement of its users, the environment literally virtualizes the structure and its insides through a series of changing colors and luminosity.

Three Idears
Three ideas evolved from objects: ice bubbles and frozen soap bubbles from the cold water, fireworks in the night sky, and the magic fluorescent ocean (formed by cyanobacteria).
15
IDEA I This idea comes from the cold winter in my hometown, when the soap bubbles are blown off the ground, they will condense on the ground and turn into glittering spheres. Sunlit shadows are beautiful after soap bubbles freeze. In order to make the shadow more beautiful, the building combines the bubbles of condensation in the sea. Part of the light passing through the glass on the top will be shaded by the hemisphere-the reflective material on the ground will overlap the light, like a frozen sea with bubbles.
16
IDEA II
The idea comes from the “firefly sea” of blue beaches in dalian, a famous coastal city in northern China. With blue fluorescent waves patting the beach, as if walking in the star world, let a person mesmerized. Behind the scenes, the ocean is so polluted that it glows because of algae blooms at the bottom, which are “devastating” to the ocean. The idea is based on this phenomenon for two reasons, one is because it’s amazing, and the other is because people want to pay attention to the natural environment as they develop.
17
IDEA III
Fireworks set off in the night sky should be fantastic in the water, with interlaced fine lines and reflected light echoing each other. Combine the different lengths of the fireworks with the waves of light in the water to discover the magical effect of light hitting the ground through translucent glass.
18
Light study 2: Reflection Mirrored surfaces merge spectator and spectacle, as images of the user and the environment are reflected by the building, challenging our perception of space. Mirrors can also provide a visual interaction with the urban or rural context of a project.
“ I found a sense of calmness as the reflections assured me that my reality can be whatever I can imagine, that is not consumed by societies conceptions on the world. I thought to myself, nothing can be more real than this; the reflections painted by motion that exploded into millions of colors and formations - Mayank Thammalla.�

The final design combines idea 3 with the idea of glass walkway, which makes up for the original closed space and the impassability. In order not to shadow the overall area, the exhibition area is a sunken plaza, with toilets and a cafe. In order not to affect the overall light effect, the corridor on the upper floor is a glass walkway with good light transmittance, and you can see the decoration of the exhibition hall below while walking through.

The Scandinavian countries have developed great buildings that resonate with both the scarce light in winter and the long summer days. Henry Plummer, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has very carefully studied the various daylight phenomena in the Nordic countries, with extensive photo journeys and brilliant writing that combines an analytical perspective with a poetic touch. His view of daylight looks beyond the practical advantages of using reflective white spaces to facilitate bright rooms; the passionate photographer is much more interested in the light effects that play with the local beauty of nature and touch the human soul.
Light study 3: Opacity
27
A large private open space central courtyard was integrated into the design to bring natural light and ventilation into the core of the home. The various living spaces were then orientated around this courtyard to take full advantage of its natural light and ventilation benefits. Full-height glazed sliding doors play an important role in facilitating the building occupants’ control over the cross flow ventilation.

Material I Considering that the whole building is not a normal cuboid. The supporting parts are made of terzinc-alloy plates, which are light and easy to shape. This kind of metal metope can achieve diffuse reflection effect, won’t make the light of reflex too dazzling and

Tempered glass has good light transmittance, and very firm, can be used as the material of glass corridor. Floating head compactor is not only safe but also can superimpose light and shadow effect.

Material III
Because the top glass is an irregular arc, it is difficult to assemble regular glass. We can use triangular glass panels that are more curved and stronger. To prevent direct sunlight, semi-transparent glass should be a better choice. And in addition to the shadow effect on the top, the metal walls create a wavy effect

Material IV
The top line of the daytime steel structure is decorated with no bright spots at night. The addition of LED light band on the top not only increases the ornamental value, but also can illuminate the interior and surrounding environment. Led lights are soft and durable.

For his three sacred buildings, Le Corbusier has played masterfully with orientation, openings and textures to create kinetic architecture with daylight. His pilgrimage chapel at Ronchamp, the monastery of Sainte Marie de La Tourette, and the parish church of Saint-Pierre in Firminy reveal distinctive and individual approaches that each render contemplative spaces with light. In his book “Cosmos of Light: The Sacred Architecture of Le Corbusier,� Henry Plummer, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has analysed these projects with outstanding photographs taken over 40 years and brilliant writing.
