Site Description

This design location is located on the Norce Terrons campus of the University of Adelaide in South Australia. Around the two lawns, the east faces the botanical garden, the west is the library, the north is the experimental building, and the south is the engineering building. The total area of these two grasslands is around 2,350 m^2. The main purpose of these two lawns is to provide a resting place for students and a major venue for the event. Therefore, the traffic flow here usually accounts for a large proportion of the main roads on campus.

02 PLACE

Night Time At night, the lawn will be lit by street lights on the surrounding roads.

However, the light is not sufficient to meet the needs of illuminating the entire lawn.

Day Time The daylight is abundant here, and when the light hits the glass of the surrounding building, some light is reflected to the lawn. When the sun turns over time, some parts of the lawn are also obscured by the surrounding buildings, which avoids strong direct sunlight.

Light Study 1: Luminosity Linguistic definitions

In scientific definition, brightness is the amount of radiant power emitted by a star, and it is the amount of light that the human eye actually feels in terms of the intensity of light emitted or reflected.

Philosophical meanings

In philosophical terms, luminosity can be defined as qualities such as enlightenment, enlightenment, and power. Light has many meanings in a philosophical sense. It can be a metaphor for growth, nature, travel, knowledge, faith, or a symbol of the special significance of the world order. In architecture, luminosity is a very important existence. Light increases our cognition and experience of architecture. It can turn a closed and dark space into a bright and open space through luminosity, and then create different effects by changing colors. In the design, the idea that light is a kind of knowledge can be deepened, and some forms of architecture can be reflected by light, which can add some favorable conditions for the design.

Case study

Zaha Hadid's project is outstanding not only because of her innovative approach to shape materials, but also because of her imagination for light. Through her works, we can really feel the form of light and the meaning of matter. Light increases the perception of the building and people. Instead of directly perceiving the building itself through the eyes, people perceive the form and materials of the building through reflected light. From the minimal light lines of her early vitra fire station to the world of Leeza SOHO skyscrapers, through the application of materials and the design of the building's exterior, the building was able to collect ample sunlight. Zaha Hadid's early works featured light (whether lamps or Windows), and later she began to pay more attention to the surrounding environment of the building as her design inspiration. Nordpark railway station in Hadid's work, she used new architectural surfaces to create new light and flow. In this building, light is not absorbed by the hard concrete, but is reflected by the glass. Hadid greatly improves the surface reflectivity of the building, resulting in an amazing mirror image. When people move around the station, the complex mirror image will increase people's visual effect. The station is illuminated at night by artificial light, which also gives off a vibrant glow.

Dongdaemun Design Plaza, 2013 Seoul / South Korea While hadid applied the fluidity of light primarily to the exterior of the building, the internal fluidity of light in MAXXI, the 21st century museum of art (Rome, 2009) transcends the spatial energy of the exterior. In this museum, she USES the fluidity of daylight and artificial light to create a unique unity. Traditional linear louvres filter out excess daylight to ensure the softness of the overall light structure. Hide artificial light wherever possible. The black staircase contrasts strongly with the white floor surface. Reflected light passes through the building, creating a calm contrast to the black-and-white interior materials.

The use of light at the gaidar aliev center has made the gradient of light and shadow softer. During the day, the building's reflected light and shadow will dominate. Flat glass walls reflect the surroundings. At night, the internal light of the building flows to the external surface, which enhances the geometry of the building.

09 IDEA

Metaphor SEEK LIGHT IS EMBRACING NATURE Light is a geometric abstraction, a straight line representing the path and direction of light. It is impossible to get a light in the real world.

Light in spoken language can also refer to the light radiated by the light source. There is no color without light, and everything in the world will be dark. For humans, light is indispensable like air, water and food.

Nature is a very good for people. Walking in the green and enjoying the sun can helps to boost peopel mood and energy. Naturally, there are many benefits to the human condition, and exposure to nature brings many psychological, cognitive, and physical benefits. Contact with nature can translate into a reduction of negative emotions such as depression, anger, aggression, frustration and hostility. Seeking light to embrace nature, this theme also emphasizes the importance of light to nature. According to this theme, some designs have been made on the grassland of the university.

10 IDEA

Idea 1: Fire Fire is one of the most important elements in nature. The visible part of the fire is called a flame.

It can be burned with fire and the vibration of the particles, producing different shapes, colors and brightness. The flame also represents strength.

According to the shape of different flames, a building about light is designed. The plane of the building is like the shape of fire. The roof can design roofs of different heights and shapes according to the flame.

11 IDEA

Idea 2: Twig A twig is a branch that grows from the trunk or branch of a tree; it refers to the branches that grow from the trunk. Not that the resulting twig are straight, and the shape of the branches is strange. The shape of the branches has been used in many buildings.

The upright Y-shaped clear water components and the thin concrete roofing panels form a simple and elegant architectural effect. Gaudi used a large number of tree columns in the design of the Sagrada Familia. The pillars are divided into branches and forks to support the high and low vaulted ceilings and hold up the huge space inside the church. The shape of the twig can also be made flat, and other spaces are developed in a main space, like twigs growing on trees.

12 IDEA

Idea 3: Particle Particles are the smallest constituents of matter that can exist in a free state. Through the pictures we see on the Internet or in books, its shape is strange and diverse, and its shape is like a small ball.

These small balls are closely linked.

Putting the shape of the particles in the real world and making some developments can form a very interesting building. Columns of different heights can be put together to form a new space.

13 IDEA

Light study 2: Reflection Linguistic definitions

Reflection is an important property of light. Reflection is the reflection of light on an object or surface. Light bounces off water, glass, and many other surfaces. It can also mean that the surface of the reflector is so smooth that when a ray of light comes in parallel to the surface of the reflector, it will still reflect in one direction.

Philosophical meanings

The original meaning of reflection refers to the reflection of light. As a philosophical concept, it borrows the indirect meaning of light reflection and refers to the indirect cognition different from the direct cognition.

Thinking, as it were, is the idea of thinking about thought itself. Along with light and brightness can help the building develop into a better state. Reflective architecture has become increasingly popular with the introduction of crystal materials such as metal and glass, through which crystal images can be generated. In addition, these materials give new meaning to the building, from the original form of internal space to the creation of surface.

14 IDEA

Modernism promoted the transparency of architectural glass, and many in the movement are still aware of the monotony of large glass walls. In this transition period, the traditional glass use form of skyscrapers has been transformed into a more interesting glass surface form. Accompanied by light and brightness can create iconic buildings and beautiful human world. The glass and metal surfaces are reflective, using light and brightness to create images and other interesting light and shadow effects on the building's surface. The meaning of architecture changed from the original form of internal space to the form of architectural appearance. The transparent and reflective architectural design can be appreciated through the architecture of Paul Scheerbart and Bruno Taut in the early 20th century. He envisions the use of a kind of colored glass to promote the change of the external surface of the building. The crystalline shape of white glass constitutes the new glass culture. In the Glass Skyscaper in Berlin, he broke the outer Glass to avoid too much light reflected from the surface, so that the beam could form a smaller form, and the light could fall in different angles. The glass walls of Herzog&de Meuron reflect the city's sense of water and sky. The building contrasts strongly with the internationally unified glass surface. The convex curves of many individual glass elements enhance the bright, distorted reflection of the sky.

Messe Basel - New Hall, 2013 Basel The curved facade and its dotted surface evoke a vivid and liquid image of light and shadow, expressing a close connection with the surrounding water. Curved glass comes not only from the appreciation of the building's exterior, but also from the use of light to create a bright interior space.

Metal material is another kind of reflective material, which is also widely used in architecture. The titanium cladding of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao shifts this architectural aesthetic from glass to metal, creating an ever-changing appearance and shimmering light that becomes the city's iconic building. Frank Gehry not only brings a vibrant form to this, but also a unique dynamic image that enhances the design of the entire building, the image of the metal surface changing with each cloud and sunlight.

15 FORM

3D Model & B The main form of this architecture comes from the flames in nature. The shape of the flame is very interesting and has different changes. Applying the shape of the flame to the design leaves a natural form. The main clients of this architecture are students and teachers, who are mainly studying, discussing and resting in this area. The entire building area of the building is 350 square meters. The interior of the architecture is mainly composed of a small library, reading area, toilets, seminar room, exhibition, reception and storage. The architectural style is simple, the roof structure is mainly steel frame structure, and the structure of the wall is brick veneer construction. There are some large glass windows on the roof that can be directly exposed to the room when there is plenty of sunshine. This building mainly needs the appearance of light, and onethird of the building is on the ground, which is convenient for sunlight. In addition, this architecture has no stairs, because this building is mainly underground, ramp can reduce the inconvenience of disabled people.

Moreover, the interior of the architecture is designed according to the shape of the architecture, which makes the whole building more harmonious.

Light Study 3: Opacity Linguistic definitions

In optics, opacity is a property that does not allow light to penetrate.

Opaque materials can be seeped through; That is, they don't allow clear images to pass through. The mass or state of an object unaffected by light. Some kind of material opacity is big, it means that the material has a strong absorption ability to radiation.

DybkĂŚr Church, Silkeborg, Denmark.

Philosophical meanings

In philosophy, the act of opacity can be defined as a lack of clarity, a lack of expression of something that is on the edge, a quality that cannot be understood. It also makes it difficult to get ideas across. In architecture, the building itself is an opaque object. In addition, a space can enter the natural light range is also limited. By using transparent or semitransparent materials, the designer can divide the building surface into two parts, one is transparent and the other is opaque, so that natural light can enter the space smoothly through the transparent surface.

Case study

DybkĂŚr Church, Silkeborg, Denmark.

The Scandinavian countries developed great buildings that lacked light in winter and long summer days. Extreme variations in weather and daylight result in a unique lighting situation in Scandinavia, and whiteness is a central aspect of how Nordic architects respond to their local environment. Architects use reflective white space the actual advantage of provide convenience for the bright room, white walls and white ceiling can make full use of the sun, can provide high light reflectivity, and produce the light intensity is far greater than outdoor light, it also can maximize the internal brightness in the darkness of the winter.

Pirkkala Church, Tampere, Finland.

Hyvink채채 Church, Hyvink채채, Finland.

In the middle ages, white buildings could already be found in Danish churches, and this style of design still influences modern sacred buildings. Like the Dybk fall church in Regnbuen Arkitekter.

Plummer says the complex daylight comes from three different directions: from the north, the beam is mapped to a black steel cross. The middle wall is made of white brick with irregular texture. This greatly increases the reflection of sunlight and improves the brightness of the space. In a similar way to this building, the Bagsv rd chapel by johan uson. Light is the most important feature of the whole church. The white walls and white ceiling can take full advantage of most of the daylight in Denmark during the year, and the light intensity generated is always greater than the outdoor.

The 1972 Nordyjllands gallery brought the white surfaces to the pinnacle. White walls, floors and ceilings produce light that changes rapidly through the sun, like natural waves. Some churches use light changes in dramatic ways to highlight the time of day. For example, morning service, a noon mass or a time of contemplation. Other churches, however, suggest that only soft light can enhance meditation. Cape and Simo Paavilainen's Pirkkala church is an outstanding building for dramatic lighting. The altar looks like a canvas, and its glass ACTS as a lens and mirror, enhancing the intensity of light. Visually, this is too harsh. Aarno Ruusuvuori, in order to avoid dazzling sunlight tricks, USES light in a more abstract way to attract individual senses rather than a specific spatial form. As he said, "the point of light is to create a sense of eternity."

Internal Views The interior is partly lit by natural light. At the top of the building, there is a unique window design that makes use of the reflection of sunlight to increase the indoor luminosity. When the sun shines, the light shines well into the room. These images show the space inside the building that receives sunlight. In addition, the interior walls are white. Because, this building is underground, the sunlight can not fully shine in. White can enhance the intensity of light, the maximum intensity of the use of lightweight, so that the building interior more bright.

Light Study 4: Filtration Linguistic definitions

In a scientific sense, filtration is the operation of separating the solid and other substances from the liquid (or gas) in suspension (or in hot gas containing solid particles) through the medium under the action of a driving force or other external forces. Any of various physical or biological operations.

Philosophical meanings

In the philosophical sense, filtering is like a logical thinking. The world is just like a mirror, which divides the world into different components and sorts out the relations in the world. Light passes through its transparent surface in a different color, material, or state, taking on a special shape. In some buildings, the designers use porous surfaces to filter light and create different visual effects.

Especially in some sacred buildings, filtered light is used most, which adds mystery and solemnity to the building itself. It also adds another sense of design to the interior of the building.

Church of Saint-Pierre, Firminy, France.

Case study

Le Corbusier took advantage of the professional treatment of orientation, texture and openings, and used light to enhance the functionality of the special space. He is in Ronchamp's pilgrim church, Sainte Marie DE La Tourette's monastery and saint-pierre parish church in Firminy.

Monastery of Sainte Marie de la Tourette, Éveux-sur-l’Arbresle, France

Through these buildings, people can appreciate his creation of space with light.

Usually in religious structures, light is sacred, and light is associated with divinity and holiness. The golden light of Byzantine mosaics or gothic stained glass creates some of the most shocking images in religious architecture. Le Corbusier's sensitivity to light and color was demonstrated in the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp. The sun illuminates different space at different time, showing different visual effects. The morning sun, for example, illuminates the walls of the chapel, giving them a warm red glow. This reddish morning light symbolizes the birth of human beings, the holy natural universe.

La Tourette's lighting arrangement is more complicated and scattered, as it deals with the illumination of light through geometric forms.

Each side has an irregular window layout, showing light and shadow changes through narrow corridors. The light changes not only with night and day, but also with the seasons.

Constantly create different lighting effects. Le Corbusier's use of lighting technology strongly highlights his respect for sacred architecture.

T h e d y n a m i c l i g h t a n d s h a d o w e ff e c t transcends the static architectural volume.

On the east facade, light is projected through tiny star Windows to create points of light on the floor, then mysteriously transformed into light waves as the sun moves. These waves of light move with the sun as it moves.

They make a striking pattern of light on the opposite altar wall. At noon, when the light waves disappear, sunlight from the roof pipes forms a clear beam in the darkness.

In this building, through the light, the change of day and night, it is like a mysterious fusion of comic scenes.
