LUMINOSITY + ILLUMINATION

Light is something due to which life exists. Light is referred as a symbol of life that comes from a god who cares for creation. Just as all living things on Earth need sunlight to grow physically, people need the light of loving relationships with the creator to grow spiritually. Light is the source of goodness and the ultimate reality.

Luminosity is the amount of brightness an object releases. It is the measure of brightness. The quantity of energy that anybody in space emits from its surface is referred to as luminosity of that object. It is referred to the brightness, which is the luminosity of an object in a given spectral region.

LUMINOSITY AND ILLUMINATION The amount of brightness an object radiates is the luminosity of that object. Luminosity deals with a circumstance of emitting light, but illumination is the situation of illuminating or providing with light.

One feature of luminosity being, it reflects light from the object. As far as illumination is concerned, it has a feature of radiating light. Luminosity is measured in joules. Luminance is the objective measure of light intensity per unit area, whereas brightness is the subjective sensation that the viewer experiences when looking at object or surface.

Light is a symbol of hope. During festivals, people light candles and pray to god for their and their families’ well-being, good health and prosperity.

LIGHT MATTERS

Small gaps which allow light to come into the space of Capilla del Retiro in Chile, is one of the best examples to explain the concept of luminosity. The small gap between the wall and the ceiling reflects light from the space from below. It creates an impression that the box floats magically.

The gap which allows light to enter brightens the space within.

The above examples state how light can affect the interior space within a building. All the stated architects have used natural lighting to light up their projects. Light and luminosity play an important role in the designing of a space. The orientation of the building also depends on the direction of the sun rays. Light plays a very important role while an architect designs a space.

The cross which is cut in the Church of Light by Tadao Ando reduces the luminous surface of the wall and thus intensifies the brightness contrast within the space.

Luminosity is the most important factor in the understanding of architecture. The relationship between light and architecture is beached in the principles of physics. It is about the amount of brightness and the intensity of the light rays. In architecture, luminosity also implies to an emotional effect on people. The quality of luminosity in a space tells one about its character and creates impressions.

The usage of light can lead to diverse feelings inside a space. It can create space as well as close space. Many architects have used light to convey their meaning of experience within. This article relates to how architects have used light and luminosity in religious places to form a symbolic meaning in the interior.

Gottfried Bohm’s Mariendom in Germany gives the visitor a dark environment to focus his attention away from the world. The sunlight enters through small roof lights and highlights the altar. The environment turns slightly brighter as one keeps going inside the space. Similarly, Peter Zumthor contrasts between daylight and darkness surprises the visitor in his project in Germany, Bruder Klaus Field Chapel.

SACRED SPACES

The way a human eye perceives the reflection of light tells about the ambience of the space within.

Luminosity within a space creates emotions and feelings that force us to take particular actions.

It is important to analyze the space from within and its usage: its form and function. The luminosity of a place also creates different feelings within a space. The b righter a place, the happier and more lively it will be.

The main precedent of 2 design concepts was an ornamental jaali, also called mesh.

In the ancient architecture of India, Jaali structure was used in many Mahals and Temples to get wind and sunlight inside the building.

A jali is an open small gaps in different shapes within the wall, which can be wooden structure, metal or stone structure. The main inspiration of the jaali is Sidi Saiyad Mosque in India.

The concept of jaali is used on walls and roof for 2 designs. When the sunlight comes in room through roofs and passes through mesh, the shadow of sunlight touches the ground.

The idea of the shape of Design has been taken from a bridge as well as from mountain. Manupulating the ground surface and making it like mountain or bridge was the initial idea for the design.

Throwing back of light after bouncing from a surface is known as Reflection. The angle at which a light wave hits the surface is the same as the angle in which it bounces.

When the angle of light hits the surface and the angle which bounces back is called irregular reflection.

LIGHT STUDY

VEILED IN BRILLIANCE: HOW HAVE CHANGED MODER

In terms of philosophy, when a person thinks back on his past, he is reflecting things that have already taken place. He reflects back at his good and bad past and thinks about the actions he took or could have taken at that point. He reflects what he had done and the consequences of that and what he could have done and the consequences of that. He reflects at his past as a lesson for the future. He also learns from his mistakes he took in his past by reflecting on them.

Reflection is the process of reproducing things in inorganic nature. Lighting is an important part of designing. By the time of emergence of modernism, many people were conscious about inflection of the massive glass structure.

The magnificence of the building and space has been moved from the internal view to the external surface due to the common understanding of the light and brilliance. Light would help creating phenomenal architectural structure and a better world. Glass and metal have been used to create crystalline Images. The light and space movement does not make only people conscious about space but also about how one observes it in relation to the light and architecture.

REFLECTION

REFLECTIVE FACADES RN ARCHITECTURE

20

The new ideas of transparency and reflective imagery for entire building came up during the early 20th century, when Paul Scheerbart and Bruno Taut proposed a new type of glass which was culturally made of coloured, sparkling in the sun, crystalline shapes of the white glass, which makes jewel-like architecture. Later, the new vision of the glass was invented by Mies van der Rohe, when he casted off his rectangular shaped tower in a favour of free-form glass skin in his proposal for The Glass Skyscraper in Berlin in 1921. At the same time, there were many other beautifully designed and architecturally modern buildings built with the use of Glass.

In those buildings glass was used in different shapes and in different sunlight reflections, like distinctive curves reflects the light as bright lines, horizontal lines, and direct sunlight under bright glossy points look like jewel-like-shimmer.

The aspiration of Herzog & de Meuron's was first fulfilled to transform the mirror effects of modernist glass skyscrapers, was the Prada Epicenter in Tokyo, 2003. The glazing shell shaped glass structured building creates distorted reflection due to the presence of the convex external shapes of the glass.

The aesthetic brilliance from glass to metal was done by an American architect, Frank Gehry in his building, Guggenheim Museum which was clad in titanium, Bilbao in 1997. This building has turned into an urban jewel that kicked off abundant urban redevelopments with its iconic metallic structure. Frank Gehry has not only brought a dynamic planning of forms to Bilbao but reinforced his design with a unique, dynamic image which varies with every cloud and sunbeam. The titanium sheets are less than half a millimetre thick, which is interesting. This idea of metallic sheets was soon adopted by many architects in the world. Today, even mirror effect and reflection of glass inside the building are seen in many buildings around the world.

Even in Australia, South Australian Health and Medical research building which has been designed by Woods Bagot. This iconic building is an aluminium structure and it fulfils the challenge of protecting the interior of the building against the harsh sunlight.

Moreover, the interest in complex reflective material, shapes and patterns shows the design intention and use of those material in different ways with the modern techniques.

DEFINITION: OPACITY Opacity may be defined as lack of transparency. As a noun it would mean the quality of a material that does not allow light to pass through it i.e; the quality of being opaque.

It can also be termed as the quality of being difficult to understand or explain. It is basically the quality or state of the body that makes it impervious to light.

Opacity has been one of the most captivating and fascinating matters in Philosophy.

In the philosophical context it could be referred as “obscurity of meaning�. Philosophically there have been at least two basic approaches on opacity. The first is the classic or traditional approach on opacity, which is due to the so called Fregean tradition, and which has been questioned by the so called Russellian philosophers. The second view tries to derive opacity from the notion of non-symmetry of accessibility relations.

It basically deals with the idea that distinct possible worlds may be somehow interconnected via the (intentional) semantics of natural languages sentences.

LIGHT STUDY

LIGHT MATTERS: WHITENESS

Opacity, Transparency and Translucency are basic qualities of surface. Opaque surfaces separate two sides completely and fully.

The result is physical and visual separation.

Transparent surfaces allow full visual connection while creating physical separation.

Translucent surfaces create partial visual connection with either full or partial physical separation. A frosted or a sand blasted glass wall allows light and some visual clues to communicate while preventing physical connection. A mesh or other type of screen allows slightly more visual information while facilitating sound and air movement.

OPACITY

IN NORDIC COUNTRIES Opacity in architecture is related to a building which does not have enough amount of natural light and even artificial light entering in the building. If we take an example of Scandinavian countries, they have used natural and artificial light in the building in many ways in modern buildings. They have resonated the light in winter and summer days. Many studies on daylight phenomena has been done in Nordic countries by A Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. If colour is modified, then it changes its lightness factor.

White wall has the power to reflect the light direct from sun or even artificial. Professor Emeritus has been using white walls to reduce bright effect of dark colour in room. As white colour reflects, building in winter season there is very less daylight.

White colour is used widely in many constructions as it gives brighten interior space within the building.

The angle of sun is lower in winter than summer, building does not get much light inside the room and sun light enters in the room from the sides.

Another example of white architecture can also be found in Denmark’s medieval churches. The design approach influences many modern buildings like Dybkaer Church of Regnbuen Arkitekter. The sophisticated daylight concept comes from three directions, one is from North side to create the cross of Jesus Christ, whereas from the south, to enlighten the whole internal space of the Church and in strips that reaches the church table from the walls of the church.

As Plummer plays with the white surfaces in his

building, according to him, Light is the most significant feature of a church. In all his buildings, he has used white color widely for walls, ceilings to give maximum amount of light to the internal space.

The daylight is limited in Denmark for maximum time of the year. He abundantly uses and produces an intensity of light greater than that outside.

With the use of White reflective color, it has created a sensation of brightness in the architecture, whether it is natural light or artificial used in to brighten the space. The white construction is seen more positively in all around due to its reflection of light in dark space.

LIGHT STUDY LIGHT MATTERS: LE CORBUSIER

DEFINITION: FILTRATION The term Filter means a porous device which removes impurities or solid particles from a liquor or gas passed through it. Filter is the process to separate suspended solid material from a liquid form. The liquid which has passed through the filter is called Filtration.

In philosophical terms Filtration means to let someone’s unwanted and undesired thoughts to go. Due to removing unwanted things from mind one can get positivity in their mind. As it depends on the person as per their thinking about what he/she wants and what he/she wants to remove or “Filter” from their mind. A person must filter their thought in all the ups and downs of their life and go ahead with the positive mind to get success throughout.

As a result of negative thought, one can go in depression zone or can get anxiety that can lead you on a difficult paths of life.

The term filtration applies whether the filter is mechanical, biological or physical. Filtration is used in many aspects of life and architecture in general. Light has been connected to the holiness and spirituality in many different religious. In many religions light defines different spiritual meaning, Whereas, Le Corbusier articulated an incomparably sensitivity for the interaction of colors and light in his spiritual buildings.

FILTRATION AND THE TRINITY OF LIGHT

In architecture, Le Corbusier has shown us the function of filtration in his buildings, like, his Pilgrimage Chapel at Ronchamp, The Monastery of Sainte Marie De La Tourette and The Parish church of Saint-Pierre in Firminy. To create kinetic architecture with daylight, Le Corbusier has played excellently with orientation, opening and textures in his sacred buildings.

Taking an example of the main characteristic of the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp, maximum natural goes inside the chapel during the day time and converts the color of the wall. It is about the continuous circle of solar events. The illumination of the alcove of the side of the chapel and it converts the red-painted void even more darker red, when sun dawns. As per Plummer the reddish morning light is a clear analogy to human birth. So when sunlight or even artificial light hits the surface of the chapel, the color of the surface changes more lighter or darker. Even Plummer remarks that the light coordination at Le Corbusier is more complex and widely dispersed in comparison to Ronchamp.

Another example of filtration is clearly seen in the Church of Saint Pierre in Firminy.

It is arranged in three acts. The small stellar windows on the east facades generates dotes of light on the floor.

By passing time, those dots mysteriously turn into waves of light. These waves smoothly rise and fall with course of the sun. Around the time of the afternoon the waves of light disappear and sunlight from two angled tubes in the roof strikes down into the darkness with sharp beams. The wall turns gold with the approach of the sunset.

This illuminating light pattern appears for the client when the cylinders were mounted into the concrete walls. “Le Corbusier could not have thought this phenomenon after his death” Plummer pointed it. Le Corbusier expressed his consciousness of the cosmic power of light in his personal synthesis of maxims in the beginning of his poem “The Poem of the Right Angle.”
