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 shares with the Kaurna people.
The Barr Smith Library is the main library of the University of Adelaide, located in the centre of the North Terrace campus. 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". The University of Adelaide Press also occupy part of the Barr Smith Library.
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.
The Australian School of Petroleum (ASP) is a world-class centre for petroleum education, training and research. It is one of only a few institutions in the world offering fully integrated teaching and research programs in the disciplines of petroleum geoscience, engineering and management (reflecting the way industry works). Thus, unlike schools that are based on a single discipline serving many industry sectors, we are a multi-disciplinary school serving a single sector.
Luminous Strips Luminosity is one of the most important elements in architecture. It is easily to be understood like the lights and the relationship between sunshine and darkness. The masterly applying of the light will give a fantastic visual effect and breathtaking feelings. The examples of the masterly applying of the luminosity are the projects of Zaha Hadid. Zaha Hadid's projects are remarkable not only for her innovative way of handling tangible materials but also for her imagination regarding the medium of light. Her theories of fragmentation and fluidity are now well-known design techniques which enabled her form-finding. However, her advances in using light to render her architecture have often been neglected—even though they became an essential element in revealing and interpreting her architecture. Light closes the gap between architecture and our perception. We sense forms and materials with our eyes not directly but through the reflected light. Zaha Hadid’s use of light might appear graphical at first sight with her light lines. Nevertheless, the grand dame operated very skillfully to enhance her architectural imagination. Luminous lines—either as luminaries or windows—characterize her early work, whereas luminous fields and a play of brilliance emerged later.
Linguistic Definitions Luminosity can be easily understand by the relationship of lights and shadow. In astronomy, luminosity is the amount of electromagnetic energy a body radiates per unit of time. It is most frequently measured in two forms: visual (visible light only) and bolometric (total radiant energy).
Philosophical Meanings Luminosity can have so many meanings to different people who have different point of views. It can be light, it can be an illuminant body, and it can be radiant body. All different luminosities contain different kind of lights. In my point of view, I think luminosity is more like what we see, what we can see from our eyes that is the object’s reflection. Because of light, we are able to see things and feel things physical and emotional, and the light is come from millions trillions of luminosities. We can’t send and receive messages without light. Luminosity helps mankind to ascend the knowledge of the universe.

Zaha Hadid's explorations with abstract paintings have led to several graphical interpretations of lighting and luminaries. In order to interweave the surrounding landscape with her new structures, Zaha analyzed abstracted urban transport patterns and transformed them into luminaries’ patterns. At Strasbourg's Hoenheim-Nord Terminus and Car Park (2001), she became fascinated by the white road markings and converted them into white linear diffuse luminaries—either integrated as strips in the concrete roof or as tilted poles for the car parking spaces.

Meanings in Architecture The relationship between windows and ceilings The Phaeno Science Centre (Wolfsburg, 2005) was a decisive turning point in Zaha’s lighting imagination. The windows and luminaries in the building’s surface share the same form, creating a holistic design approach and thus moving on from Zaha’s earlier period of lines and sharp corners. The elevated concrete structure generates a large shaded area, with the view to daylight on one side intensifies the impression of a dark void. As a counterpoint, diffuse ceiling luminaries intervene in the dim atmosphere. The diagonal building structure has been translated into rhombus-shaped windows for the façade. In contrast to earlier projects with sharp edges, Zaha’s forms here took on curved shapes, marking a transition to fluid designs. In order to form a coherent exterior surface, the rhombus contour has also been applied to the underside of the elevated museum. Thereby the visitors perceive a holistic formal approach encompassing both daylight and artificial lighting.

Formal & Spatial Study It is a stunning geometric coloured glass roof balanced by white which designed by Daniel Buren. "Diamonds and Circles’ works ‘in situ’ is the first permanent public commission in the UK by the acclaimed French artist, Daniel Buren. The artwork transforms Tottenham Court Road station with Buren’s signature geometric patterns across the vast central ticket hall and multiple station entrances. His designs play with simple concepts; shapes, colours and str ipes.He has created a colour ful series of large -scale diamond and circle shapes fixed to the station’s internal glass walls. 2.3m in height and diameter, the diamond and circle shapes re p e at t h ro u g h t h e s p a ce. A cabinet containing the ‘parents’ of the forms in three dimensions is installed in a vitrine inside the ticket hall.

Linguistic Definitions Reflection is the image of something in a mirror or on any reflective surface. It is also the return of light, heat, sound, or energy from a surface. The angle that a beam of light or other energy that is reflected from a surface makes with a line vertical to that surface.
Philosophical Meanings Meanings in Architecture
Reflection is one of three “logical acts of the understanding by which concepts are generated as to their form”, the other two being comparison and abstraction. Reflection is defined as “the going back over [of ] different presentations, how they can be comprehended in one consciousness.” Reflection, comparison, and abstraction are “essential and general conditions of generating any concept whatever”. Reflection is a transformation of a figure in which each point is replaced by a point symmetric with respect to a line or plane and also a transformation that involves reflection in more than one axis of a rectangular coordinate system.
In inorganic nature, reflection is the process of things reproducing, under the influence of other things, traces or imprints of the things exercising that influence; in organic nature, reflection is an active process, such as in the adaptation of animals to their environment or the irritability of plants and other organisms. Here, properties in the organism which are the outcome of a long process of adaptation by the species are manifested actively by the individual in the immediate influence of other bodies in the environment the like of which have been present during this period of development. The concept of reflection, as the correspondence of mental images with the material world which is the source of those images, is the basis of the materialist approach to cognition.

One of the best ways to make a space look bigger is by incorporating a few strategically placed mirrors, and with many people unable to afford such large homes or offices these days, mirrors have become an increasingly popular way to make the most of a small space. One of the best things about mirrors is that they can be cut to any size, and provide an easy way to get artsy with your architectural design. Using reflection in flooring has been a growing trend in architectural design of late, and it is amazing how much brighter the right flooring can make a space look. There are a lot of different flooring options available offering a range of reflective ability, from hardwood to polished concrete floors, enabling you to bring in exactly the right amount of reflection to suit the look, style and purpose of the space. With polished concrete you can even have reflective elements such as minerals, coins or glass embedded into the top layer of your floor.

One of the more beautiful and natural ways architects have been adding reflection in their designs is by making extensive use of water, and the effect can be absolutely stunning. One of the biggest trends in architectural design is the growing use of metal, with metal furniture, fixtures, fittings, and even flooring starting to be seen. The ability of reflective metal in particular to make better use of the light, create an illusion of space, as well as be extremely easy to clean, has left metal with little competition for many key components in modern architecture and interiors. For many years, architectural design has made extensive use of glass, and while glass has been used for many different reasons, one of the biggest attributes is that it not only allows light through, but also reflects it. Everything from glass bricks to double paned windows have been used to fabulous effect, and it seems glass will remain a central element in design for quite some time yet. Using reflection in design can be an effective way to change the look and feel of a space, so if your home or office is feeling uninspiring at best, consider using a little more reflection in your design, as it may not take much to do the trick.
