LIGHT STUDY 1
In the linguistic standpoint, Luminosity is term associated with “relative brightness of something” or “ the relative quantity of light”. In a simple definition, luminosity is the amount of light shining from a light source, regardless of nature or artificial source. Recent researches on the nature of light broaden our understanding about the light, which leads to significanr technological achievements. Luminosity, illumination and brightness are set of concepts, which closely related to each other. Luminosity imply the extent of light, while illumination denotes to the supplying of light and brightness of something means to the reflection of light on the surface once illuminated.

Thought the lenses of philosophy, luminosity used in broad range of meaning. Illuminator and acceptor of light are two interconnected concepts. Acceptors of light are unable to generate light and only absorb and reflect the light. Presumably, once illuminator stops producing luminosity, other object will not be visible and lost their luminosity. In other words, acceptors depends on the illuminators in the their appearance. In the architecture, luminosity play a vital role in the expression of the design. Architects prone to equip their design with lightening and brightness concepts. Lightening is a powerful tool to manipulate our understanding of shape, size and material of design. Use of this technique enable designer to create more impressive buildings. Zaha Hadid is a prestigious architect, who elaborate the use of lightening technique in her designs. She integrates nature and artificial lights in the building to add beauty to the design. Line works are noticeable in her design, especially recent designs, due to the appearance of lightning and luminosity. Guangzhou Opera House(China, 2010), Heydar Aliyev Centre(Baku, 2012), Nanjing International Youth cultural Centre (Nanjing, 2016) are example of her recent design, where lighting of building is one of the main elements of the designs.

REFLECTION

LIGHT STUDY 2
Linguistically, reflection means something that come back from a surface as a response. It is a physical phenomenon which relates to the change in the direction of light once blocks by the surface without absorbing. Reflection of light beam occurs at the same angle that light meets the surface. Form philosophical point of view, reflection of light from a surface embodies the objects, which represent the existence and features of surrounding. For example, reflection from a glass surface is totally different in a desert and forest, which signify the involvement of surrounding in the reflection. In other words, cooperation between objects and their mutual influence build the reflection. In addition, reflection defined as the reproducing, copying and distortion of objects influenced by surrounding objects. Reflection allow us to understand the shape, colour and texture of objects around. Reflection help to strengthen the value of object’s existence and their link together.

In the architecture, first thing spring in our mind once we talk about reflection is glass, steel and other reflective surfaces in our daily life. These substance have been widely used in the exterior structure of building instead of interior design. In the past, shinning façade in the building became popular, especially after World War II and advent of modernism such as Seagram building by Mies van der Rohe. Reflection of light by façade glass aims to represent the self-character, while other used materials could not fulfil this target. Recently, more attention has been drawn to the shape and structure of exterior façade since people are getting bored by typical square glazing glass façade. Architects integrates different materials to achieve desirable reflection, which causes designs to become more complicated these days.

LIGHT STUDY 3
Opacity is often used to describe the state of opaque, which occurs once light cannot easily pass through a substance. In linguistic, the term opacity can more complicated connotation as it refers to the thoughts, beliefs or situation which are lacking clarity. In other words, opacity associates with the unclarity intentionally or accidentally. Opacity shows how difficult an object can be seen or understand. According to the near-primal belief, light is closely related to the knowledge and opacity block the way of knowledge. In this way, some authorities are often said to be opaque because they limit the way of knowledge transfer to the public. A dictionary with unclear definition, novel full of old-fashioned words and difficult grammars or a lecture without sensible concepts are typical example of opacity.

Nordic people survive in the harsh weather condition in the Scandinavian countries through adaptability. Over the last centuries, novel designs and architectures enable buildings to make the most of use nature they reside. Opaque and absorbance of light over the white surface play important role in the capture of limited available nature light. Professor Henry Plummer elaborately investigated on the advantages of whiteness of building to use the scare light to daylight during summer and winter in Scandinavian. White surface allows to intensify the light to have bright rooms. Herning centre of arts in Denmark designed by Steven Holl architects is a breathtaking example of this culture, which encourage other nations around the world to follow their design. The centre characterized with white concrete wall and large low-slung opening, which makes sun light diffuse into the building in the middle of winter when sun form an arc in the sky. The white concrete wall causes the light be reflected to the building and low ceiling trap the light in a limit space and lighten the space.

FILTRATION

LIGHT STUDY 4
Filtration is used to separate mixed matters into distinct components. In the simplest way of filtration, Filtration is the process of separating harmful solid particles from water solution, during which solution goes through a filtrate. In a broader definition, separation of bad out of good can be considered filtration such as filtration of bad words from our language to be polite with others. In an exaggerated use of filtration term, it can be said that court of law play the role of filtrate to separate bad and guilty people form good and normal public. In the light beam, broad range of wavelength exist, which are visible to the naked eye. However, it is likely to eliminate some wavelength through certain filtrates, which selectively captivate specific wavelength and allow undesirable wavelength to pass without change.

In philosophical view, filtration is the deliberate distortion or elimination of some part information to deliver the target groups for exploitation purpose or making it acceptable. For example, a secretary who correct mails of her boss to remove unwanted grammatical errors, misspelling or bad words is doing filtration. Le Corbuser is a famous architect known as a pioneering in modern architecture,who take advantage of daylight to build kinetic building. Of his design, we can denote to the design of religious places such as pilgrimage chapel at Ron champ, the monastery of Sainte Maria Da la Tourrete and the Paris church of Saint-Pierre in Firminy. The latter captures one’s attention once spotting the irregular shapes sticking out from the façade. Each opening within protrusion filtrate light in a different way, which creates spectacularly incredible view. Le Corbuser created angelic and galactic atmosphere through arrays of concrete and glass in the building, which proves his sharp and creative mind. This design also shows how well he understand the link between light and divinity through manipulation of light within the building. Light has important symbolic connotation in different religions. In Christian, light has been metaphor of truth, goodness, Devine. Light always associated with removal of darkness in the bible. The contrast between light and darkness resemble the good and evil and believers and unbelievers.
