winter
As seen on the the diagrams, during summer, the site is completely shaded throughout the day. The buildings surrounding the site act as shading devices that protect the area from direct sunlight.
During winter, the site is completely exposed to direct sunlight as appose to during summer. The angle of the sun is lower during winter and the buildings surrounding the site is not efficient enough to shade the site during winter. This shows that during winter, the light pavillion will be exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day. This gives advantage to the pavillion as most of the area of the pavillion depends on natural light.
Based on site analysis, the site is not really exposed to the sun during summer. It can be assumed that the light pavillion will not be exposed to the sun therefore the ligh experience through natural ligthing inside the pavillion will not be the same during winter

The site is used mainly by University of Adelaide’s students and staffs and also by public just to relax. Throughout the day, it can be seen that the area is occupied but it is most occupied during lunch hour and when the weather is sunny.
As the site is an open area, there are times where socities or clubs use the lawn for social events. Sometimes the events held are cultural events that promotes foods or cultural of specific country. It can be said that the area is at the centre of The University of Adelaide therefore it is a convenient for social events as many people walk through the area throughout the day.

FLUID LUMINOUSITY: THE ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING OF ZAHA HADID Luminosity of light is one of the many things that are put into consideration in designing. A well known figure that used light luminosity and express it through her design is Zaha Hadid. This technique can be seen through her Vitra Fire Station Design and Leeza SOHO skyscraper. The ability of these building to capture daylight is what makes it a unique and successful design that uses the concept of light luminosity.
Leeza SOHO` According the dictionary, luminousity is the radiation of light that is emitted by the star. The transparency of the light radiated from a certain source of light is what luminosity called in context. The amount of energy that is emitted by the star is what used to measure luminosity.
Light plays an important role in shaping and designing the experience of a space. The presence and absence of light can make occupants of a specific area to experience different emotions. For example, a dark space gives the idea of mystery and negativity compare to a space that is open and is filled with light. In todays era, best believe that light and brilliance help in creating iconic architecture other than the help from glass and metal.
Famous architect, Zaha Hadid uses her imagination when it comes to incorporating light into her designs and has come out with amazing designs throughout her career. She came out with fragmentation and fluidity theories which is a well known theory and through this theory is where she discovers form-finding. Her development in the incorporating light into her designs can be seen from her early design, the Vitra Fire Station to the tallest atrium at the Leeza SOHO skyscraper. Through the reflection of light is where we capture the sense of forms and materials, not through our eyes. Although her method of using light lines appeared as graphical at first sight, she skillfully operated the dame taht helps enchance her architectural imagination. From her early work, it can be seen that she used luminous lines whereas throughout her career, it developed to luminous fields and play of brilliance.

Hadid used decisive non-parallel lines in her Vitra Fire Station design. This gives the bstructure an explosive energy plus her method used potrayed a lucid expression of tencions with in-situ concretes. Inside the structure, light fill in the gaps between the wall and the ceiling. Her suprematist paintings manifestations can be seen through her use of precise light line. The building is said to have an explosive characteristic. However, the soft and diffuse inside of the building counterat the characteristic of the building form. Throughout her career, Hadid loved to explore abstract painting. through her explorations, she found several grphical interpretations of lightings and luminaires. She then transformed the abstracted pattern she discovered to luminaires patters. Hadid was amazed by the white road markings used at Strasbourg’s Hoenheim-Nord Terminus and Car Park. She then converted the pattern into white linear diffuse luminaires.
Zaha Hadid’s light imagination took a turn in the design of The Phaeno Science Centre. Different from her earlier works that were mainly lines and sharp corners, this structure’s surface and windows shares the same form. A shaded area is generated trhough the elevation of the concrete structures. The diagonal structure is then translated into a rhombus-shaped windows for the facde This is when Hadid transitioned from using lines and sharp edges to fluid designs. The underside of the elevated museum shares the same form in order to form a coherent exterior surface. This gives visitors holistic formal approach through both daylight and artificial lighting.

Through Hadid’s Nordpark Railway Station’s design, it can be seen that light is reflected by glass intead of absorbed by concrete.This is inspired by local glacial moraines and ice formation. The Phaeno Science Centre

The Sky Light Pavilion was designed by Nimbu for an Architecture Pavilion Competition that was sponsored by Serbian Arhitekton Magazine. The architect believed a contemporary pavillion needs to be constructed so unique that the design itself shows the meaning of a contemporary design.
The dseign of the structure is so unique that the character of the design was defined through the relationship between elements such as the sky, earth, motals and divinities. The earth is said to be the domain of things and mortal whereas the dicities tha inhabited by the sky.
The structure is made of two boxes. The two boxes are one opaque exterior and one transparent. The two elements, interior and exterior of the structure can be seen trhiugh the geometry of the design. 18
veilled in brilliance: how reflective facades have changed modern architecture
The property of light is that it travels in straight line. However when the light ray hits a surface, it will bounce back. The act of light bouncing back when hitting a surface is what called reflection of light. According to dictionary, reflection can be defined as the return of light or sound waves from a surface.
Based on the law of reflection, it is stated that the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie on the same plane. It also stated that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. This law applies when light is reflected onto smooth surfaces. However, when light ray hits rough surfaces, it will be reflected on different angles. The concept of reflection of light is used on our daily life. For example is on the rear view mirror and side mirrors of cars. The reflection of image through the rear view and side mirrors enables the driver to see objects on both sides and the back of the car. The role played by light is important in modern architecture. The right way of projecting light can help produce more sustainable architecture. Mies Van der Rohe is one of the many architects who incorporated large glass facades into his designs
juxtapose to modernism that promoted the transparency of glass architecture. The massive development of uniform structural glazing skyscrapers has gotten too main stream and fails to amaze urban citizens anymore. It is believed that light and brilliance work well together in creating iconic architecture and could help improve the life of humans. Therefore, crystalline images are produced by transforming glass and metal innovatively. This brings to the shifting of the focus of light from the inside spaceform towards the outside space. In 1968,
Mies told in an interview that he wanted the light to fall on different angles therefore he broke the glass. He was a little skeptical about the effects of glass mirror at the time. The design of Elbphilarmonie in Hamburg by Herzog and de Meuron has produced a distorted perception of the city, water and sky. Brilliant light reflections from the building are due to the unique design of the curved balconies on the building. Jewel like shimmer is produced as bright glossy points appear under direct sunlight.

LI G H T ST U DY; r eflect i o n made the structure to be called a masterpiece that kicked off urban redevelopments. The structural form is what made it a successful Bilbao effect design. The building is a success because Gehry reinforced the design in order to achieve the ability to have dynamic images, which varies with every cloud and sunbeam. The unique form Bilbao has sparkling light qualities of titanium sheets and is always changing with cloud and sunbeam.
The numerous amount of vertical and horizontal single glass enhance the reflection of the sun that has been distorted. A close connection to the water around can be seen through the design of printed dots on the curved façade, which produces a vivid and liquid image. The Elbphilarmonie is said to be a magical eye catcher due to its unique arrangements of intricate distorted light reflection. The famous Frank Gehry convey he aesthetic of the light brilliance through his design of Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 1997. Its iconic signature, the different sizes and forms of reflective panels have
This law applies when light is reflected onto smooth surfaces. However, when light ray hits rough surfaces, it will be reflected on different angles. The concept of reflection of light is used on our daily life. For example is on the rear view mirror and side mirrors of cars. The reflection of image through the rear view and side mirrors enables the driver to see objects on both sides and the back of the car.
The repetition of uniform cubes has begun to erode a sense of human scale. The emerging of curved building forms , reflective facades or even the combination of both idea have innovatively create more multifaceted images for the city. In today’s society, to create brilliant veils and bright future, it can be seen that upcoming structures will try to reach for innovative combination of material and form. Based on the law of reflection, it is stated that the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie on the same plane. It also stated that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. 20
