ACCESS Ěƒ AND MOVEMENT There are three main accesses to the site: Frome road, Victoria Road, and North Terrace. However, the lawn is more easily realized and attracted on Frome road as main access on the site. Car park is available on Victoria Road.
CULTURAL ANALYSIS In summer, the lawn tend to be used frequently as it is shaded by surrounding buildings and trees. So, people will going to choose areas where have cool shade during summer. During summer, this area has variety of festivals. In winter, the lawns are shaded by surrounding building which lead to this area become colder. So not many people using this area during winter or they will choose on sunny area to take break. MAIN PATH WAY TO THE SITE MAIN DOORS SECONDARY DOORS
Lawn areas are surrounded by Barr Smith Library at front, Engineering buildings and Bragg buildings on two sides which creates the harmony of nature, classical architecture and modern architecture on the site.

Luminosity is generally understood as a measurement of brightness and the meaning of luminosity depends on what is being measured. For instance, luminosity in architectural fields concentrated on lighting of both exterior and interior. Moreover, luminosity is professionally used as the unit of electromagnetic and the total radiated energy of stars, galaxy in the field of astronomy. The purpose of this essay is to explain deeply the philosophical meanings of luminosity and how it is one of the four most important elements of light in architecture through some specific case studies. In the aspect of philosophy, according to Ram-Prasad, the awareness of an event as subjective are knowns as luminosity. The luminosity of consciousness is divided into other-illumination (reflexivity) and self-illumination theories. In which reflexivity theories concentrate on the experiences of an event so that it can be perceived as consciousness while self-illumination theories are believed as the essential nature of consciousness that object can present itself differently which is distinctive from other.

Being one of the pioneer of modern architecture, Le Corbusier realized the power of light in linking texture, colour and luminosity of light with his sacred buildings in order to connect to the culture of religion as light is God. For instance, for the main characteristic of the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp (1950-1955), Le Cobusier wisely optimized the luminosity of sunlight and the red colour of windows to turn the red-painted void even redder. In culture of Plummer, the reddish morning light is a reasonable similarity to human birth. Secondly, the masterpiece of linear light of The Monastery of Sainte Marie de la Tourette at Éveux-sur-l’Arbresle (19531960) makes the space become more mystical as the wall absorbing light and emit itself in the dark space. In addition, the special characteristic of this church is the changes of the size of light through the illumination of sunlight over different seasons. In addition, the different distribution of window arrangements and corridors lead to the irregularity of luminosity of light, light and shadow in space that make the space seem to be compressed by light, but expanded in waves.

In contemporary architecture, the interaction between design and luminosity are used more directly and obviously by many famous architects across the world as they make the tight connection between space and luminosity in term of aesthetic of light and brightness. For instance, Zaha Hadid is one of the most famous women architects in the world in not only designing organic architectural forms according to her theories of fragmentation and fluidity but also the way of effectively using medium of light to interact with interior and exterior by placing both natural light and artificial light inside in order to strengthen the unique feature of her designs. To be more specific, the success of her designs derived from early design, Vitra Fire Station with non-parallel, light lines echo the sharp concrete lines to the homogeneity of light in the fluidity of interior space, such as Heydar Aliyev Centre (Baku, 2012) and Nanjing International Youth Cultural Centre (Nanjing, 2016).

In conclusion, luminosity is the word not only described the brightness and used as the unit of astronomy, but also described the presence of objects in philosophy through consciousness (self-illumination) and reflexivity (luminosity). With architecture, light is always the most powerful inspiration to design contemporary buildings. SITE ANALYSIS: SHADE AND SHADOW
