SOCIAL AND CULTURAL The Maths lawn has multi-function purposes, it can be for educational purposes as well as social gathering activity purposes. Educational services such as, students being able to relax on the lawn either sitting on the benches alongside or lying on the grass while studying. Social and gathering purposes, for example students having their lunch with friends, or university activities with their students. The most common social activity that occur on the Math lawn would be the annual University of Adelaide open week, which happens on the Maths lawn. There is free BBQ service, fair floss giveaway, DJs with music and many more. Sporting O Week also have their activities at the Maths lawn.

The basic objects of the model and their relations, it specifies the general terminology that is common to the whole standard and talk about the dictionaries, components and their interactions. Linguistic architecture ensures that the model at the top level is consistent. LUMINOSITY It refers to the measurement of glow and brightness within a piece of artwork. Luminosity refers to the creation of light which can be different, according to the reflections and/or the amount of diffraction and intensity. In the astronomy aspect, luminosity measures the amount of energy produced by a star and other astronomical objects per unit time. ILLUMINATION Illumination, a property and effect of light which could be seen. It is the intensity of light display at a given area or surface. The luminous flux incident per unit area, expressed in lumens per unit of area. MEANING IN ARCHITECTURE The use of light in architecture is an important factor in understanding their architectural designs. The relationships between light and architecture is surrounded by physics, it is about energy and also implies an emotional effect on people. Lighting creates difference meanings and expresses difference feelings. The lighting in a living room will be warm and dimmed, with light textures, balancing the dark and clear areas which creates a relaxing and enjoyable environment. However, on the other hand, lighting used in a laboratory place, will be cool in appearance, focusing on the specific places of work. A wide and clean lighting, creating a multitasking, dynamic and energetic mood in the workplace. Light in architectural space contributes to its perception and understanding to the functions and brings an emotional factor for its users.

“THE ARCHITECTURE LIGHTING OF ZAHA HADID” British female architect, Zaha Hadid, her projects are extraordinary through her advanced ways in handling materials and her creative imagination regarding to the use of light. Her theories of fragmentation and fluidity are now wellknown designs which enabled her form-findings. Luminosity in Zaha Hadid’s design Zaha Hadid’s design back in the early 90s, The Vitra Fire Station (fig. 1), the light lines in the ceiling, between wall and Zaha Hadid ground, between the wall and flying roof highlight the linear architecture. The whole structure of the building is constructed with concrete in the light, paying extra attention to the sharpness of all the edges. The detailing on the inside of the building (fig.2), with open frames, polished aluminum sliding plans for the garage door (fig. 3) and other lighting designs, presents another language meaning to the whole.

Zaha Hadid’s use of light might appear graphical at first sight with her light lines in her designs. Zaha designed skillfully to express her architectural imagination. The recent project by Zaha Hadid, Nanjing International Youth Cultural Centre (fig. 4) demonstrates a dynamic transition from vertical glass towers to horizontal concrete podium. The interior displays advancement of fluid luminosity. The Nanjing Centre shows a luminous surface, with numerous amounts of small holes allowing light to transfer through, following the dynamic interior geometry for illumination (fig. 5).

Louvre Palace, 75001 Paris, France "Formally, the pyramid is the more compatible figure with the Louvre's architecture. Also, it is one of the most stable forms, ensuring its transparency ... and it is constructed of steel and metal, symbolizing a break with past traditions, it is work of our time. "

Name: Louvre glass pyramid Designer: L. M. Pei Completion year: 1989 Climate: Mediterranean Owner: Louvre museum Main material: Glass Material properties: Glass panels in steel frames, forms modern element to historic building. Two triangles, one interior and one exterior, reflect off the other to form unique relationship. Application: Exterior Cladding
The Louvre glass pyramid design consisted of a large glass and steel pyramid that is surrounded by three smaller triangles that provide light to the space underground.

The Louvre Pyramid is a famous architectural building which engages with natural light in its own way, by using glass as the main material, it creates a specific shafts of light or using reflective materials to bend natural light to suits the environment and achieve to provide access to natural light.

I.M. wanted the structure of the pyramid to have a certain attractiveness and not be a simple based structure. He wanted transparency. At the outset, he was interested in a lightly reflective glass, so models were made to allow him and the team to view that at different angles.

A reflection is a reflected duplication of an object that appears identical, as can be seen looking in a mirror, glass or water. Examples of reflecting would be light or heat, mirroring, or giving back an image. Reflection from the surfaces of a mirror, or any other reflections, where all the ray rays reflect off a surface at the same angle is called specular reflection. In fact, by law, the reflection is always true when you go from a mirrored surface to a regular surface, it isn’t the law that changes by the surface itself. It is often believed that light and brilliance could help in generating an iconic architecture and a better world for human and living, glass and metal have been innovatively transformed to create crystalline and glassy images. As a result, the locus of meaning in architecture has shifted from interior space to exterior space During the early 20th century, Paul Scheerbart and Bruno Taut envisioned a new glass culture made of colored glass, sparkling in the sun. Mies van de Rohe absorbed this vision, and explained his skepticism regarding the urban monotony of glass mirror effects. Because he was dealing with glass, he was cautious about avoiding dead surface reflecting too much light, so he broke the facades a little and started with different angles reflecting the flight.

Reflection in Architecture The glass facades at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg by Herzog &de Meuron, it refers to the visionary glass culture of scheerbart, and indirectly to the golden shimmering skin of Berlin’s Philharmonic by Hans Scharoun as well. They built a fresh contrast the plane glass curtains of the international modern style. The environment did not appreciate it being a clear mirrored picture, but instead a process of modification and reproduction.
Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg
The design of curves on the balcony, the building is able to reflect a bright clear light streaks, also with the blue and diffuse sky, the curve also allows it to clearly stand out and reflects the bright lines, similar to those in the automotive industry. Under direct sunlight to the building, bright points appear and evoke a jewel-like shimmer. Adding on from that, numerous vertical and horizontal glass elements can reflect off and shine reflecting to the sky. Overall the curving exterior, with its printed dot screens evokes a rich and water-like image.

Another well-known example, showcased Herzog & de Meuron’s desire to transform the mirror effects of the glass scrappers was the Prada Epicenter in Tokyo. The Glazing shell consisted numerus rhombus-shaped elements, however, due to the complexity of the exterior shapes of the glass, only parts were selected to create a different reflection, making it more distinctive and special throughout. The rich transparency and brilliant reflections from the transparent glass facade, it is not limited to only outside of the building, but on the inside as well. Offering an interesting view from the inside looking out.

Access via the cone in the grass area in front of the Braggs Building. A spiral staircase for access to the lower ground, (the main area of the building).
2 lifts located on the site for disabilities or other users who are unable to use the stairs.
Complete freedom movement underground. Students/ visitors can move freely in any directions as there are no walls or any other objects except for tables and chair
28
Light inside the building The amount of light inside the building depends on the natural sun and temperature from outside. Hence, in the summer time, better daylight results in having better light inside the building. Since the two cone is built in glass, sunlight can travel through creating natural sunlight underground. Light direction also depends on the time of the day and temperature, as well as the direction of light travelling through. This is ideal for students who want to relax or work under the shade, instead of directly under the sun. Students/ visitors can have the option to choose to sit under the sun or in the shaded area.

The word, opacity, is the opposite to transparency. Opacity describes how opaque an object is, as well as how transparency an object is, being unable to allow light to travel through. For example, a car door is opaque, as you cannot see through it, light cannot travel through the door. However, the windows in the car is not opaque as you can see through it which light can travel through. If the window is tinted, it is somewhat opaque and somewhat transparent. The less transparent the window is; the higher opacity it is.
Another example is shown in the above figure, where the far right yellow rectangle is brighter color than the far left rectangle. Which means, the far right rectangle is more opaque compared to the far left rectangle. It I obvious to realize the differences between the two

The amount of light and light condition relates to the weather and the daylight condition in Scandinavia, where the architect uses white surfaces to counterbalance the darker winter days. The position of the sun reflects the light condition inside the building. The low position of the sun in northern regions will create longer shadows, which results in creating light from side of the buildings instead of being from the top.
Dybkaer Church
The color, white, is the central aspect of how Nordic architects responded to their local environment. White surfaces offer a high reflectance in order to increase interior brightness, especially in winter times with limited sunlight.
Denmark’s medieval churches are early examples that uses white interior surface to maximize the quality and quantity of light inside the building. The approach has influenced modern sacred buildings, such as the Dybkaer Church by Regnbuen Arkitekter. For example, daylight concept comes from three different directions, “Low from the north to emphasize a black steel crucifix; more broadly from the south as a glancing wash; and as a shower directly behind the altar, guided down through a sluice of wall.” (Arch Daily) In a similar example, Bagsvaerd Church, by Jorn Utzon also plays with the color white in his designs. “Light is the most important feature of the church. I provided white walls and white ceiling so that daylight, which is limited in Denmark for much of the year, is fully used and produces an intensity of light always greater than outside.”

Glass staircase, allowing more light to transfer through from the glass providing more light to the building. The access through to the bathroom is located by the staircase, a ramp is also available for disabled / wheelchair visitors for easier access.

The interior wallpaper colour is designed to be a very light colour as light colour can reflect off light instead of absorbing it which will lower the amount of natural light in the building. Hence, white colour wallpaper will be used for the interior.

Internal view of bathroom The wallpaper and atmosphere in the bathroom, is much darker compared to the main area. This is because of the limited sunlight in the area and because while/ light colour is too “clean� to be used in the bathroom, and darker colour is better for maintenance in the bathroom. 41
Filtration is an act in which a liquid or gas passes through a piece of equipment in order to remove substances or other solid pieces.
Shown in diagram on the left, is an self-explanatory diagram of a simple filtration, which oversize particles known as “feed�, cannot pass through the structure of the filter, while other smaller particles or liquid can pass through, being filtrate.
There are different types of filtration methods depending on whether the solid is particulate or dissolve in the fluid. There are 4 common filtrations, - Vacuum Filtration, where a Buchner flask and hose are used to suck the fluid through the filter. The is a speed separation which to be used to dry the solid. - General filtration, the most basic form of filtration using gravity to filter. This filtration uses filter paper and the solid will be left on the filter paper while the liquid drips below. - Cold filtration, used to quickly cool down the solution. This method is used when the solid is dissolved. - Hot filtration, when the solution, filter and funnel has been heated to minimize crystal formation during filtration. Common examples of filtration include, - The coffee filter, separating coffee and the grounds. - HEPA filter, used in air-conditioners, to keep particles away from air. In additionally, color filters are usually created by using transparent materials, such as dyed glass, plastic or lacquered gelatin that have been treated to selectively transmit the desired wavelengths while restricting others. Two of the most common types of filters used today are absorptions and interference filters. Absorption filter is to absorb unwanted wavelengths, whereas interference filters is to remove selected wavelengths by inferencing and reflection. 42
Light has always had a connection with divinity and holiness in different religious. In the Christianity perspectives, the bible speaks of God who is “light” or Christ as “the light of the world” Even if the divine light and visible light are not the same, visible light appears as just as similar as heavenly and thereby has a connection in between. “Instead of serving as a tool or religious persuasion, as it generally has in the past, light has become a quiet force to visually resist and elude, erode and outshine, the Church’s mandate. Light eats away and weakens institutional discipline, while exerting its own dazzling powers to draw attention out to the sky and its commonplace marvels- in effect using light to consecrate the natural universe”. The main characteristics of the Chapel of Notre Dame du haut Ronchamp (1950-1955), is from the continuous circle of collar events. The sun illuminates the alcove of the side chapel and turn the red painted void to become redder and sharper colour. For him, the morning red light is a clear analogy to human birth. The small horizontal crack of 10cm lifts the roof from the wall, creating a colour contrast to glow of the vertical brise-soleil at the southeast corner.

The light at La Tourette is more complex compared to Ronchamp, due to the fact that all corridors have an open side facing one of the four cardinal directions, the believers encounter diverse light experiences inside the building. In addition, the corridors are distinguished with different window arrangements. Plummer notes, the irregular rhythm of light and shadow appears just like a musical note or composition. “Unlike the repetitive rhythms of windows and columns in traditional churches, these fluent rhythms are aperiodic, based upon intervals of light and transparency that compress and expand in waves” La Tourette
The feature of the light in La Tourette’s church begins with the sunset, where a crack atop the west wall draws warm lines along the side walls. The north wall connects the two golden lines and with the sunlight, the line slowly moves upward. These effects differ from seasons, winter times generally make weaker effect than in summer due to stronger sunlight in summer, reaching its maximum power.
