LUMINOSITY
LIGUISTIC DEFINITIONS
Luminosity is an architectural lighting design firm focused on lighting and daylighting for the interior and exterior environment. There are natural light and artificial light used in architecture design, both of two kinds light refer to two movement, light reflection and light transmission. And shadow is the common product of luminosity, objects, and space.
LUMINOSITY AND HUMAN AND ARCHITECTURE People need light. The fear of darkness not only from the people`s dependence in light, but also because the disappearance of light which would lead to people lose the ability to understand the surrounding information. Darkness would make people in the state of helplessness which from unknow things and unpredictable things, this feeling on darkness could be weaken with age but will not disappeared by the increase of rational knowledge. Light and shadow is an important way to show the architectural space, performance of plastic arts, beautify the building environment. The skilful use of shadow and light can make a fantastic effect in architectural art. A long time unchangeable stimulus for human is unbearable, as well as no sense stimula
tion, the two situations always result in fatigue and boredom for human. For the architecture, the ever-changing direction, intensity and colour of the natural light meet person`s visual psychological demand. Light is also one of the essential elements in space, human could have a more profound understanding on the space of architectural through research on the relationship between light and architectural space. Lighting design in architecture is an important component of architectural creation, it not just art but also science, through a reasonable combination between light and architectural space, architectures can meet the human visual and health needs, at the same time, it also can provide light and shadow`s art enjoyment for people.

Natural light and Louis Kahn` masterpiece: Salk Institute Louis Kahn`s belief in light Light is a central element in Kahn`s Philosophy, Louis Kahn believe that light is a giver of all presences. All materials in nature are made of light, the mountains, streams, air, even human. For Louis Kahn, light is the maker of material, the purpose of material is to cast a shadow and the shadow belongs to light.
THE NATURAL LIGHT USED IN SALK INSTITUTE-SILENCE Use light to render The most impressive part in Salk Institute is the central park, water slowly flow into Pacific Ocean through the water channel which face the west. The sun would just fall in the end of the water stream at the sunset of Spring Equinox and the Autumnal Equinox. The natural light which comes from the setting sun render the pure concrete construction, present a harmony space in light, emphasis the original feeling of concrete. Thus, walking through the sequence of openings at the portico of the Salk Institute brings to mind the dark silence of cloister. Louis Kahn used light turn concrete into poetry.
Natural light and Tadao Ando`s work: Church of the Light Tadao Ando`s belief in light “In all my works, light is an important controlling factor. I create enclosed spaces mainly by means of thick concrete wall. The primary reason is to create a place for the individual, a zone for oneself within society. When the external factors of a city`s environment require the wall to be without openings, the interior must be especially full and satisfying.”- Tadao Ando
THE NATURAL LIGHT USED IN CHURCH OF THE LIGHT-DEITY Use light to shape and produce shadow The Christian Cross in the Church of Light is the most fantastic part. The extruded cross in the east facing façade which allow light to pour into the space throughout the early morning and into the day. The whole building is composed of a concrete shell which could add to the darkness of the church by creating a more humble, meditative place of worship.
Artificial light design in the works of Zaha Hadid – Nordpark Railway station-fluidity
Use light movement-reflections Zaha Hadid`s works often show skilful light design, in the Nordpark Railway station, the whole structure was not isolated with surrounding landscape because the use of reflection movement of light, light is not absorbed by concrete but is instead reflected by glass, the smooth and vitreous surface material of Nordpark Railway station create complex mirror images which stimulate the viewer`s perception

SOCIAL AND CLUTURE Providing world-class and purpose-built teaching, learning and research facilities, the $100m nine-level Ingkarni Wardli building is home to the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences. The Kaurna name, meaning ‘place of learning or enquiry’ recognises the special relationship the University of Adelaide shares with the Kaurna people, the original custodians of the land on which the University is situated.
The Barr Smith Library owes its name to the Barr Smith family, a pioneer family in South Australia and benefactors to the University of Adelaide over many decades. In 1899 the University Council resolved that its library should bear the name “The Barr Smith Library”.
Two lawns in between The Braggs, Molecular Life Sciences, Ingkarni Wardli and the Engineering and Maths Sciences building. If you’re looking for a bench to sit on, these lawns are lined by picnic tables. A water bubbler stands in front of The Braggs entrance.
The Australian Federal Government, South Australian State Government, DSTO, Defence SA and The University of Adelaide invested over $40M to construct a headquarters for IPAS, which now houses a unique suite of transdisciplinary laboratories. These facilities include glass development and processing, optical fibre fabrication, laser and device development, luminescence dating, environmental genomics, photonic sensor development, and synthetic, surface and bio-chemistry and offices to co-locate IPAS researchers and students from a broad range of scientific disciplines
