The Barr Smith Library owes its name to the Barr Smith family, a pioneer family in South Australia and benefactors to the University of Adelaide over many decades. In 1899 the University Council resolved that its library should bear the name "The Barr Smith Library".
The Australian Federal Government, South Australian State Government, DSTO, Defence SA and The University of Adelaide invested over $40M to construct a headquarters for IPAS, which now houses a unique suite of transdisciplinary laboratories. These facilities include glass development and processing, optical fibre fabrication, laser and device development, luminescence dating, environmental genomics, photonic sensor development, and synthetic, surface and biochemistry and offices to co-locate IPAS researchers and students from a broad range of scientific disciplines.
Providing world-class and purpose-built teaching, learning and research facilities, the $100m nine-level Ingkarni Wardli building is home to the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences. The Kaurna name, meaning 'place of learning or enquiry' recognises the special relationship the University of Adelaide shares with the Kaurna people, the original custodians of the land on which the University is situated.
Two lawns in between The Braggs, Molecular Life Sciences, Ingkarni Wardli and the Engineering and Maths Sciences building. If you're looking for a bench to sit on, these lawns are lined by picnic tables. A water bubbler stands in front of The Braggs entrance.

Light study 1 luminosity Linguistic definitions: Luminosity is the quality of something that gives off light or shines with reflected light. You might describe a bright lively oil painting in terms of its luminosity, or marvel at the luminosity of a brilliant sunset. Astronomers use the word luminosity to talk about a specific property of physics, the energy given of by an astronomical object in a certain amount of time. The Latin root is lumen, meaning "light."

Philosophical meanings: The theory of divine illumination is generally conceived of as distinctively Christian, distinctively medieval, and distinctively Augustinian. There is some justification for this, because, Christian medieval philosophers gave the theory s e r i o u s a n d s u sta i n e d d i s c u s s i o n , and Augustine gave illumination a very prominent role in his theory of knowledge. He said that “the mind needs to be enlightened by light from outside itself, so that it can participate in truth, because it is not itself the nature of truth. You will light my lamp, Lord and you hear nothing true from me which you have not first told me.� According to Augustine, God does not give us certain information, but rather gives us insight into the truth of the information we received for ourselves. In the 12th century, Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi founded a school of Islamic p h i l o s o p hy c a l l e d i l l u m i n a t i o n i s t p h i l o s o p h y. I n h i s P h i l o s o p h y o f Illumination, Suhrawardi argued that light operates at all levels and hierarchies of reality. Light produces immaterial and substantial lights, including immaterial intellects (angels), human and animal souls, and even 'dusky substances', such as bodies.
Meaning in architecture through case study: Z a h a H a d i d s h o w e d m a ny g re a t examples in using lights through her design, and her design theory of light also changed and developed in the last 30 years. In 1993, Zaha’s early design project Vitra fire station, she used linear lights to respond with building, light lines in the ceiling, between ground and wall, between roof and wall reinforce the linear architecture with sharp edges. In the interior, the light gaps between ceiling and wall have also showed the traditional architecture construction.
Even the special designed sun blinds coherence the linear pattern with lights as well. The precise lights using gives us a deep impression. Although the interior lights echo the sharp concrete lines, the soft, diffuse inside and outside illumination in a way counteracts the energy of the building’s forms. In Zaha’s early work, she just used limited linear lights and not a series of gorgeous lights, and used lights to work with the shape of architecture and surrounding to form a sense of harmony and great effects with architecture. In 2010, the Guang Zhou opera house built up.
Over the 20 years of her practice, the way her using lights has developed. For external of opera house, the wall of the platform edge and grass lawn edge to form a water wave of light. Those long and meandering smooth light band through the entrance to internal space. As the main body of the building, “two rocks”, from the root to lightly and homogeneous illuminate, it kindly likes two rocks reflected by the water reflection on the surface. For internal of the audience hall, it is a complicated and important space of the whole building. Except the floor, other parts are rolling curved surface. The lights are hidden in the depressions of the surface, and the seats are likes a fold on the surface, integrate with the opera house.
The small and dense hole is used to form the lighting. It is random bur evenly distributed in the top of the surface, the light comes out through the holes. The dense holes formed dense lights are well represented by the ups and downs of the surface. This 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. Through these two projects, zaha has improved her skills in using like from linear small group of light to a large scale of light, and the light does do a great work in corresponding with architecture. Light brings more meanings for architecture and get a positive enhancement of the whole effects of building.

Precedent----Church of Light by Tadao Ando
The charm of the church is not outside, but inside, it is like the shock taken by light overlap of La Chapelle de Ronchamp. However, Ronchamp is brought quiet, light church is a strong shock. Solid architectural concrete confined to create a dark space. It makes people feel isolated from the outside world, and the sun light comes from the horizontal and vertical openings of the wall. That is the famous " Light of the cross "- sacred, clear, pure, shock. Inside the building, Ando reduced the openings, and limited to performance of the natural element "light". Cross-shaped partition of the wall resulted in a special effect of light and shadow, it makes believers produce a wonderful feeling that close to God. 14
Ideas plan Idea 1 is aim to form linear shadow underground. From the top view, it forms the structure of cross, which present the light under the cross. Lift is the only thing above ground so that the light pavilion will not block the view of barr smith library.
Idea 2 is aim to form square shadow underground. From the top view, there is a large square and six smaller squares skylight windows.

Light study 2 Reflection Linguistic definitions of reflection: Image: The image of something in a mirror or on any reflective surface. Sending back: the return of light, heat, sound, or energy from a surface. Sign: a sign or result of something. Thought: serious and careful thought.
Philosophical meanings: Reflection is one of three "logical acts of the understanding by which concepts are generated as to their form", the other two being comparison and abstraction. Reflection is defined as "the going back over of different presentations, how they can be comprehended in one consciousness." Reflection, comparison, and abstraction are "essential and general co n d i t i o n s o f ge n e rat i n g a ny co n c e p t whatever". Insofar as the spirit of something bouncing off something else, philosophical i nv o l v e s a s u p e r f i c i a l exa m i n a t i o n o f something from a philosophical perspective. It likes something happens to people during the day. They go home and review what happened in accordance with philosophical methods, or in accordance with objects of philosophical inquiry. If people bounce an idea or the details of an event off the methods or objects of philosophy, then they are philosophically reflecting.

Meaning in architecture through case study: Through the using light and light reflection, it can create iconic architecture. Glass and metal are the two main innovations to create good facades and images. As a result, the meanings of architecture have transformed from internal spatial form to external surface. In this way, those unconventional reinterpretations of facades have gained interest and attention. The American architect Frank Gehry transferred this aesthetic of brilliance from glass to metal with the titanium cladding of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 1997. Titanium is one of the characteristic in the Guggenheim Museum, 24000 square meters metal board, bend, repeat, curl one piece by one piece, it increased the charming of architecture. The flakes surface makes the Guggenheim Museum reflect sunshine easily, especially when sunset. Even in cloudy day, the flashing light titanium plates have a sense of aesthetic perception. This museum has become the jewel of the city, and it has inspired many urban redevelopments. Frank Gehry has not only brought a dynamic composition of forms to Bilbao but reinforced his design with a distinctive, dynamic image which varies with every cloud and sunbeam. The materials he used create form and light reflection. From different angle different space of the museum, it makes people feel different light effects.
In Hamburg Herzog & de Meuron designed the Elbphilharmonie. This building is a total work of art. It combines innovative architecture with an exceptional location, outstanding acoustics and a visionary concert programme. The defining feature of the Elbphilharmonie: 1,000 curved window panels, tailor-made to capture and reflect the colour of the sky, the sun’s rays, the water and the city, turn the concert hall into a gigantic crystal. Because of the curves of the balconies, the building reflects a series of beautiful lines and points streaks. With a blue sky, the distinctive curves reflect the light as bright lines. Under direct sun light, there are many bright glossy points, they evoke jewel like flashing. Besides, the convex curves in vertical and horizontal directions enhance the glossy and distortion reflection of sky. Overall, they built a fresh contrast with the uniform plane glass, and those glass reflections give people a fresh impression. The concave convex architectures and reflective curved façade elements have opened another options for people and they give city a more multifaceted images.
