SITE PLAN The site is located at the University of Adelaide on the Maths Lawns, the site is surrounded by five current structures. The Ingkarni Wardli and Engineering/ Maths Building are located on the South side of the site. The Braggs and Molecular Life Science Building are located on the North side of the site. The main feature of the Maths Lawns is the Barr Smith Library located at the far end of the lawns, the proposed design is to not interfere with the view of the Library’s entrance.

The site is overshadowed by these large buildings.

The sense of scale of from the buildings feels dramatic from ground level. As you travel around the site the focal point remains on the Barr Smith Library. The proposed pavilion will be position underground to not interfere this focal point.

SITE ANALYSIS The site is a constant thoroughfare for student travelling from one class to another. The highlighted areas show the paths that most students follow.

Social Qualities The space is often used for students to relax and enjoy the open space. The site is often the location of many events held at the university so when designing consideration for these events.

DAY

The site is mostly used throughout the day, however, as the campus remains constantly open the site needs to appeal to day and night. The current lighting is used to emphasize the height of the buildings with vertical lights. The brightest light sources are surrounding the buildings especially at entry/exit points.

LUMINOSITY

Luminous

lu-mi-nos-i-ty [loo-muh-nos-i-tee]

(n.) 1 . the quality or condition of radiating or

reflecting light

Luminosity is the presence of light . The word Luminosity is derived from the Latin word lūminōsus and is defined as the quality of radiating or reflecting light. In Astronomy luminosity is class as the brightness of a celestial object where as in physics is considered the rate of emission of radiation.

Traditionally luminosity is considered a term for Physics and Astronomy, however, the word luminosity is often used in a poetic sense as it has a deeper meaning. In a dark room we seek the light, using light to get an understand of the surroundings. This is no different to the desire to seek and gain knowledge so we are able to get a better understand of the world around us. The world is illuminated, enlightening the paths that we decide to take. A brighter mind is a mind that seeks more knowledge.

Night Flight / Studio MODE

“Night Flight / Studio MODE” 30 Mar 2014. ArchDaily. Accessed 14 Aug 2017. <http://www.archdaily.com/490898/night-flight-studio-mode/>

Whether the harsh sun in the clear skies above or the soft gentle sparkle of the night sky, the world is constantly being illuminated with natural light.

It is a challenge for a designer to capture this natural sense of luminosity, however, with careful consideration it can be achieved. A project which capsulates the night sky is Night Flight. The entire structure is achieved through the presences of luminosity. The manipulation of this luminous artificial sky creates depth and evoke a sense of ambiance.Using the natural attraction

of light, the lights are cluttered to draw attention to the centre stage creating a focal point in the club.

Assuring to the desire of this night sky, the only source of light is from the ceiling above, scattered small lights to create a soft ambience throughout.

To keep the lights above being a focus, everything on the ground level is coloured black. However, as to allow vision on the floor level reflect surfaces were applied throughout to reflect allowing greater vision without interrupting the overall concept. The lights are designed to follow a layered system to create depth from above, just as stars in the night sky have different levels of luminosity would have.

The entry points of the club are light from all angles, this particular method of lighting placement gives unique experience as walking through the scattered lights. A sense of travelling to another world. Going from night to day, entering the bathrooms of the club are in complete contrast to the rest of the club. These soft subtle details are stripped and replaced with stark white walls with intense brightness. This raw white room creates a sense of sterility and bareness, which is desired in a public bathroom which is often seen as unhygienic and unpleasant.

The Night Flight is just a prime example of how luminosity in architecture can play an important way in which the space is understood. Entering the club sets the mood with its unique light placement creating a tunnel to an out of world experience. Once in the opening the high ceilings with layered lights creates the perfect interpretation of the starry night sky. The soft calming lights could not be in more contrast to the bathrooms which almost overwhelms the viewer with its stark white walls creating a sterile space. Night Flight just demonstrates the power of luminosity in architecture can have with the experience to the viewer.

DESIGN PRECEDENT MOUNT FUJI ARCHITECTS STUDIO

VALLEY. TOKYO. JAPAN. The sites restraints were very similar to the site located at the maths lawns. The ground level site was surrounded by large concrete buildings that limited the opportunity for windows.

Mount Fuji Architects optimised the vertical light opportunities creating spaces which combine spaces some maximising light and other that did not.

Using this blocking method that combines contrasting spaces, I drew inspiration from this creating a scatter of rectangles that combine contrasting light and dark spaces.

The building also uses different levels to capture light at different angles and create variations in the spaces as the viewer travels through. I applied this method to my design one, giving height variation to create drama and to separate spaces without the use of walls.

REFLECTION

Reflection

re-flec-tion [ri-flek-shuh]

(n.) 1 . The act of reflecting, as in casting back a light or heat, mirroring, or giving back or showing an image; the state of being reflected in this way.

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. A smooth flat surface will create a clear reflection where uneven wavy surface will distort the light being reflected.

The word reflection is derived from the late Latin word reflexio, defined as turning back, and for one to reflect on themselves is to look back at what they have done or achieved. Furthermore, the word reflection is often associated with mirrors. Mirrors are part of daily life, used to view ones own appearance. Mirrors give the opportunity to look upon yourself and take in what you see at that current point of time, giving the perfect opportunity for one to ‘reflect’ on themselves.

The Mirror Houses / Peter Pichler Architecture Reflections can be used used to expand a space or hide it, the Mirror Houses are perfect examples of how both these qualities can be used to create stunning architecture. With respect to the spectacular views of the South Tyrolean Dolomites the Mirror houses use large reflective facades to blend into the environment.

“MOUNT FUJI ARCHITECTS STUDIO VALLEY. TOKYO, JAPAN” 11 Aug 2014. Divisare. Accessed 1 Sep 2017. < https://divisare.com/projects/267146-mount-fuji-architects-studio-ryota-atarashi-valley-tokyo-japan/>

Reflection is not only created by material, the colours that are used can cause light to be absorbed or reflected affecting the perception of the space. The Mirror Houses use black and white to create a boundary between interior and exterior. A matt black finish is applied to the exterior of the Mirror Houses, the combination of these does not draw the views attention. This was an intentional decision as the architect didn’t want to interrupt the views of the mountains.

On the contrast, the interior is coated with a glossy white finish on most surfaces. This allows the entering light to reflect off all surfaces create a bright vibrate space with limited windows.

As the views of the South Tyrolean Dolomites fade with the sunset, the space no longer hides, it transforms the mirror façade. The Mirror Houses begins to show the skeleton underneath this façade with the use of lights. This space takes the surrounding environment into great consideration, the use of reflection allows the architects to achieve what they wanted without having to compromise or lack details.
