LUMINOSITY Linguistic Meaning: The state of producing or reflecting bright light; the state of appearing to shine

Example - 1) The photographer achieved the luminosity in the image through careful manipulation in the darkroom.

Meaning in Architecture: Contemporary architectural transparency appears to go above all previously worked out precision. It involves new materials and applied science, as well as new ways to assess the visual perception of architecture.

The approach presented here stems from architecture-based experience, but it approaches from the perspective of optics and vision science.

Physical transparency is an idea made only possible by making large sheets of plate glass a prominent feature of the building, and it is, in essence, a defining feature of modern architecture. Transparency is a medium to open up closed spaces to Light and air. Transparency, however, as stated by an essay

Philosophical Meanings: The higher the luminosity of an object, the more bright it looks. An object can be very luminous in various wavelengths of light, from gamma rays, radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays and visible light, how energetic the object is. Luminosity is meant to relate how much energy is being emitted by an object in all the forms of light it radiates. Fluorescence is the term that we apply to all wavelengths, regardless of where they lie on the electromagnetic spectrum.

by Rowe and Slutzky is not only the visual transparency but also includes unique clarity.

“Transparency means a simultaneous perception of different spatial locations. Space not only recedes but fluctuates in a continuous activity” - an essay by Rowe & Slutzky.

It is deployed by what they also called “phenomenal transparency”, as indicating spatial depth through the layering of planes.

Transparent materials are perceived differently than opaque materials. Each open object absorbs part of the luminous flux energy but simultaneously also generates specular reflections upon its surface. The optical model that approaches transparency from the position of reflected vs transmitted

radiant flux balance seems to be sufficient and appropriate in consideration of visual cues distinctive for the visual system in the kinetic perception of transparency. A real/ virtual image model is adopted for the sake of simplicity, as—due to the scale of the pane in architecture—other phenomena like “total internal reflection, and wavelength related caused by the refractive index of the object” are invisible for human observers.

PART 2 Geometrical Diagramming of Seek Light as Growth

Seek Light as a Growth was the metaphor that was chosen to design the light pavilion. Initially, I started to draw a spiral which was growing gradually. Thereafter, I drew the circles that formed from the spiral to get some new sense of ideas. After some thought, I split the circles into semi-circles.

IDEA

The drawing then was made continuous to make a single flow and made a mirror image of it on the opposite side. It gave me some ideas to convert those 2D lines to 3D and then extruding it to make some sort of pavilion form.

I then joined those free flowing lines to make a continuous shape of the initial stage of the pavilion.

LIGHT STUDY 2 Linguistic Meaning: The return of light, heat, sound, or energy from a surface. The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it is called reflection.

Example - 1) He put silver foil around the fire to increase heat reflection.

Philosophical Meanings : In lifeless nature, reflection is the process of things duplicating, under the effect of other things, signs or stamps of the things exercising that influence; in organic life, thinking is a functional process, such as in the habituation of animals to their habitat or the irritability of flora and other species. Here, properties in the structure which are the outcome of significant activity of adaptation by the species are active by the individual in the immediate effect of other bodies in the surrounding the like of which have been there during this period of evolution.

REFLECTION Meaning in Architecture: The wings of a Morpho butterfly from Brazil glint an unusual and compelling blue, generating a feeling that the insect covers itself in metallic satin. The wings’ optical enthusiasm reportedly can be seen from a plane flying above the forest. Equally dazzling are many other curiously brilliant colours in nature. The rippling from gold to the green of a Japanese beetle’s wing envelopes. It’s a natural illumination show in which waves of ordinary light are unique, merged, thrown back and otherwise operated to make a sensation called iridescence. In the range of shades visible to the human eye, red results from the longest wavelengths and violet from the shortest. Ordinary light, sometimes called white light, is a mixture of different colours. Thus, when an object appears a specific colour, it is because it captivates most wavelengths and throws back only some to our eyes to produce the colour we see. Iridescent objects do something very different. They unmix the brew of shades in white light by stoping some and boosting others and then post the consequence to our eyes. The solution, an intense, penetrating brightness that no pure reflection of light can achieve.

LIGHT STUDY 3 Linguistic Meaning: The quality of lacking transparency or translucence. The quality of being difficult to understand or know about, mainly because things have been intentionally kept secret or made complicated Example - 1) He believes the opacity of traditional property reporting has put off investors.

2) Thinner paints need black added to increase opacity Philosophical Meanings: Opacity is a sort of interest in imaginary works: it treats the nature and incidents in works as though they were “constituted by the modes of their presentation in the narrative.� The essential part of opacity is that when we read in this way, we understand the content of the work only in terms of the specific method in which it expresses. Transparency is the opposite of opacity: it is a way of study that interprets the proceedings and nature as though they were part of an imaginary world that we see through a specific work of workings but where the speech is used to unlock up the world is totally a means to the end.

OPACITY

Meaning in Architecture: The zone of learning of this thesis is on the plan that if the lighted chunk of an object is too light, the form of it is difficult to perceive, and if the elements in shadow are too dark, nothing is observed. When light falls on a solace perpendicular to its surface, there will be a minimum of shadows. The intricacies will hardly be visible. Similarly, the perception

of texture also depends on minute contrast in comfort. The energetic nature of the shadows cast by sunlight gives an immense potential to design and create shades and shadows effectively.

But natural light’s existence and ability, particularly in the experience of sacred spaces, is enhanced by its opposite: darkness. To capture a slice of the sun was one of architecture’s greatest achievements, but even a thin sliver of light depended upon night for its power: “Even a room that must be dark

needs not less than a crack of light to know how dark it is.”

LIGHT STUDY 4 Linguistic Meaning: The influence of passing a liquid or gas through a piece of equipment to remove solid pieces or other substances Example - The technology exists to remove all of these contaminants through filtration.

Philosophical Meanings : Diffusion, also known as cultural scattering, is a standard procedure through which components of culture expansion from one society or social class to another, which means it is, in essence, a process of social change.

It is also the process of introducing innovations into an organization or social group, sometimes called the diffusion of innovations. Scattering spreads through ideas, values, concepts, knowledge, practices, behaviors, materials, and symbols. Porosity is the state of being penetrable, or full of tiny holes. Liquids go right through things that have porosity.

FILTRATION Meaning in Architecture: Materials are a pivotal component for planning; they not only help the creator bring their aesthetic imagination to life, but they allow them to remain functional. Architecture has evolved alongside building materials–as materials become more sophisticated, so does architecture. Specific veneers which are composed of pictures printed on plastic are an excellent specimen of this. Observationally, therefore, useful materials can be said not to exist without a natural physical substrate. Thus, what separates a virtual content from a natural one is some feature of the mind and perception as well as a procedure of depiction to make them.

Materiality in architecture is not limited to conceptual positions on the perceived materiality of images, texts, or other objects of observation. It may mention the materiality of specific projects, where one would need to consider the full range of materials used. Talk on the materiality of architecture is usually synonymous with organizational and aesthetic concerns in architectural design and is typically unique with each project.
