Heydar Aliyev Centre (Baku, 2012) led to a softer graduation of light and shadow. During the day, the volume reflects the light and the overall shadow pattern of the sun dominates, with no sub-textures interfering in the smooth surfaces. At night, the interior light flows onto the exterior surfaces and exterior floodlights enhance the building geometry.

IDEA 02 My seek light word is seek light is a self-reflection, through this matephor, i make it diagram and have 3 possibilities to develop to final idea. I think this matephor means light can through some things like glass or mirror to reflect light in degree. and it is stable and safty, and i think triangle is a shape which suit for this idea.

For the architect like closed exhibition or concert halls, it always veiling a whole building with reflective function elements has been adapted with other shimmering panels. Some forms of reflective patterns are even able to initiate political discussions and influence the names of buildings. Like The “Fernsehturm Berlin” which reflecting a cross shape emanating from the sphere. In 1969, the socialist and atheist party of the German Democratic Republic erected the tower to resemble the Russian satellite Sputnik and it located next to a medieval church, the tall tower was intended as a political statement addressing the deconstruction of the old city. But the reflections of the sun create a clearly visible cross pattern on the sphere. Hence, the people in Berlin nicknamed the lighting effect the “Pope›s revenge.”

Around noon the waves of light disappear and sunlight from two angled tubes in the roof strikes down into the darkness with sharply defined beams. On overcast days, two soft luminous veils emerge on the walls. Le Corbusier’s light techniques emerge as a multifaceted language to consecrate his sacred buildings. His dynamic layers of light transcend the static building volumes - a cosmic cycle that changes with the course of the day, year and with a clear or overcast sky.
