BARR BARR SMITH SMITH LIBRARY LIBRARY
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. The University of Adelaide was founded in 1874, and Robert Barr Smith served as a member of its Council for 19 years. During the time, he donated 20k dollars, including 9k dollars for the improvement of the library. In 1899, the library named with “The Barr Smith Library�.
SOCIAL CHARACTER The University of Adelaide contains a wide range of students from various nationalities and countries. The Math Lawns is a good place for social and cultural and it lined with benches to relax and study and so on. Besides some social and cultural activities, the site also will be used for orientation week, open days, hosting BBQ and all sports club meeting.

Different sun angle cause different shadows and various shaded areas in different seasons. During summer, Math Lawns are largely exposed to the sun which may cause the bareness of the area as the sitting areas are too high in tem-

LUMINO LUMINOSITY DEFINITION The dictionary defines Luminosity as the quality or state of being luminous, and it’s a noun of something luminous. Luminosity is also the relative amount of light and the relative brightness of something, which is the relative amount of radiation emitted by a celestial source such as a star. However, in architecture aspect, we can look at luminosity as being illuminated through the presence of light.
LUMINOSITY IN PHILOSOPHY
Luminosity is the light which is a physical phenomenon, however it is of great significance to human. Light not only give you the ability to catch sight of the world, but also can bring you a lot of information and emotions. Emotions are affected by luminosity. Bright light can amplify the mood, and dim light can keep the mood stable. It can affect your physical and mental behaviour. In addition, the luminosity of other objects that do not emit light always produces shadows, making the two-dimensional image deeper, thus making the object more emotionally impactful. On a philosophical level, we can think of light as a medium that connects various objects with human’s consciousness.

LUMINOSITY IN ARCHITECTURE Luminosity has played significant roles in many aspects, especially in architecture design. Light as an emotional communication, thus many designers use light as a basic element in their design. Zaha Hadid, one of famous architectural designer, her’s project is not only because of her innovative approach to tangible materials, but also because of her imagination of the medium of light. We sense the form and material by reflecting light. Therefore, light is the only way to connect people to the building itself, and she uses light in many ways. Zaha Hadid uses light to enhance the relationship between nature and architecture, connecting internal and external spaces, transforming glare into soft light, and using light to improve architectural forms. For example, one is explosion energy of her first building: the Vitra Fire Station (Rhein, 1993). The light from the ceiling, the light between the wall and the ground, and between the walls and the flying roof reinforce the sharp edges of the straight building. In the interior, the light gap between the wall and the ceiling also deconstructs the traditional architectural structure. Even the design of the unique sun blinds reinforces the linear pattern language. Precise light appears as an intrinsic expression of her super painter’s paintings. Although the edges
of the interior luminaries echo the sharp concrete lines, the soft, diffused interior and exterior lighting partially offsets the energy of the building’s shape. Another example is the Guangzhou Opera House (China, 2010). After a period of cold concrete construction, Hadid became a warm, golden and clean atmosphere for the first time. The design of the auditorium is driven by fluidity and seamlessness. Thousands of light spots on the ceiling remind the audience of a fantastic starry sky. The light pattern on the tiered balcony is reminiscent of the reflection in the waterfall. These waves are in sharp contrast to the crystal’s appearance, with a triangular frontal pattern. Looking back at the career of Zaha Hadid, we can find a decisive turning point, reflected in the Nordpark station, where continuity and mobility push her deconstruction and fragmentation aside. The surface of the Matt façade is replenished or replaced by reflection, and the building begins to reflect the environment around it. In the same way, her interior has changed from primitive concrete to pure white, turning into a fascinating gold in key spaces. Hadid is deeply rooted in the visual language of supremacist paintings, often transforming geometric lines into diffuse lines and curves.

Self-reflection is like looking a mirror and describe what you see. For seeking light, it is like a mirror in the centre and the light will be line up as a circle thing.
The shape is made of multiple pyramids and they round up as a dome to show self-reflection.

REFLECTI REFLECTION DEFINITION Reflection, an optical phenomenon, refers to the phenomenon that when the light propagates to different substances, it changes the direction of propagation at the interface and returns to the original media. Light hits the surface of the water, and the surface of the glass and many other objects are reflected. Light changes the direction of propagation at the interface between two substances and returns to the phenomenon in the original material, called the reflection of light.
REFLECTION IN PHILOSOPHY Reflection original meaning refers to the reflection of light and is derived from the Late Latin word reflexio. As a philosophical concept, it is the indirect meaning of borrowing light reflection, which refers to indirect knowledge different from direct understanding. For a person, reflection refers to examining oneself and life, and the goal is to achieve a higher level of understanding of the meaning of life and the way to maintain oneself. This term is often associated with mirrors. Because the mirror can be used to observe your appearance, and give you a chance to look at yourself.

REFLECTION IN ARCHITECTURE Light has always been an important element in architectural design. In modern architecture, many designers use materials with reflective light to decorate the building or increase the brightness of the light in interior space. Even though modernism has increased the transparency of glass buildings, many people are aware of the monotony of the large glass facade without movement. The glass façade was changed in the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg by Herzog & de Meuron. Glass elements that bend inward and outward distorted the perception of the city, water, and sky. They stand in stark contrast to the international style of uniform flat glass curtains. People don’t think that the environment is a clear mirror image, but a process of modification and replication. Due to the curves of the balcony, the building reflects points or lines of bright light streaks. In the blue or sky, the unique curve reflects light into bright lines. In direct sunlight, bright spots appear and evoke jewel-like luster. In addition, the vertical and horizontal convex curves of many single glass elements strengthened the shiny twisting reflection of the sky. Overall, the curved appearance with a printed dot screen is reminiscent of a vivid and fluid picture that expresses a close connection with the surrounding waters. American
architect Frank Gehry used titanium cladding to transfer this radiant beauty from glass to metal in the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 1997. With the gloss and appearance of the titanium sheet, Frank Gehry not only brought a dynamic combination of forms to Bilbao, but also strengthened the design of Bilbao with a unique and dynamic image. The image changes with each cloud and every beam of sunlight. The elongated metal gesture Messe Basel New Hall was introduced by Herzog & de Meuron for a linear interpretation of light reflection. The twisted aluminum strip of the building avoids the well-known monotonous windowless showroom. Uniform but stretched aluminum adjusts the building in a light way. When facing the sky, the surface provides brightness to the building, in sharp contrast to the dark perforations and the areas of the band that slope toward the ground.

opac opacity DEFINITION
Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light. An opaque object is neither transparent nor translucent. When light strikes an interface between two substances, in general some may be reflected, some absorbed, some scattered, and the rest transmitted. For example, wood has good opacity of the light while glass has bad opacity of the light.
opacity IN PHILOSOPHY
In philosophical aspect, opacity means the extent we refuse to accept the truth and the knowledge in the world people live in the world influence by all kinds of things. Some are good and some are bad .the opacity is opposite to absorbing things which are beneficial and helpful. We all have to thick critically while we are facing the choices. To choose the side which is helpful and refuse the things are evil. Open our mind to read the information from the world and figure out the meaning of the world.

LIGHT STUDY 3 opacity IN ARCHITECTURE
Pirkkala Church by Käpy and Simo Paavilainen is one of the famous examples of using light to enhance architectural expression. In the field of design, opacity is the ruler of light. This is the way to maintain a balance between the building and the sun. We know that sunlight entering the building will heat people, and glare will make people barely open their eyes, but the correct way to use light can help buildings improve their performance. People can’t live without lights, it gives us the energy of life, the ability to see. Therefore, it is very important to use a solar pattern in architectural design. Light is an important element in architectural design. In this case, the altar looks like a canvas for rich contrasting sunlight projections, where the glass acts as a lens and mirror. In this church, the sun has a variety of patterns, they are vertical, horizontal, and the pattern of sunlight on the curves appears on the walls and floors. As time goes by, the sun is changing. The ability to control change is the socalled opacity. Each coin has two sides. Opacity is the middle thing, it retains some parts. This is how lighting makes buildings unique and allows people to feel the relationship between architecture and lighting. As a student of architectural design, we must learn the secrets of the sun. In each case, learn how it moves and how it changes and consider the relationship between the building and the sun.

Circle is a major design pattern of my light pavilion. In the daytime of the entrance, people could feel the starry rain by the natural light through the different size circle pattern. In the night time, the artificial light embrace the curve path way which seems to access to the centre of the circle. Spiral staircase and library also can feel circle light pattern. The difference between these two is the first one is natural light while the other is artificial light. From the glass decoration, people might see the circle reflection of the light based on the glass material. For seminar, straight artificial light is used but also it seems to walk into centre to show self-reflection.

filtrati filtration DEFINITION
Filtration is a process by which objects are passed through a device to remove all that is unwanted. Filtration is any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that separate solids from fluids by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass. The fluid that passes through is called the filtrate. The world carries with it connotations of movement, and is also used to donate the action of something gradually entering or leaving a place in small quantities and in a specified direction.
filtration IN PHILOSOPHY
Filtration is the mid-term of people getting information. For us, it’s our own filter, and we have to rigorously criticize while we receive the world’s information. There are all kinds of things around us in this world, some are bad and some are good. Filtration is a process to keep things bad and receive good things. Philosophical meaning has the same concept as language definition. It helps people think and make choices that are important to us.

filtration IN ARCHITECTURE
Le Corbusier has played masterfully with orientations, openings and textures to create kinetic architecture with daylight. His design pilgrimage chapel at Ronchamp is famous for using of the lights. And ales the parish church of Saint-Pierre in Firminy is a good example of using light to decorate the buildings. His architectures reveal distinctive and individual approaches that each render contemplative spaces with light. In his design, there are ways to use the light to decorate the architecture, firstly create the shape. In his pilgrimage chapel, he create various path for lights to go through in various orientation. This way of design makes the interior space alive. It changes with the time. Secondly is the use of the colour. And here comes the definitions of filtration in architecture aspect. The colourful glass is like filter, to change the colour of the light, and the colour was designed to fit the interior design. It is the best way to use natural elements to decorate an architecture. In this case, filtration is the idea to ass human emotion on uncontrolled
natural sun lights. It makes architecture alive, the way of filtration design combine the natural things to architecture. Le Corbusier is a master of controlling sun lights. The light orchestration at La Tourette is more complex and widely dispersed in comparison to Ronchamp, remarks plummer. The Monastery of Sainte Marie de la Tourette at Éveuxsur-l’Arbresle(1953-60), with its rectilinear geometry, embodies a clear counterpoint to the poetic forms of Ronchamp and Firminy. Due to the fact that all corridors have an open side facing one of the four cardinal directions, the believers encounter diverse light experiences. Due to facts that all corridors have an open side facing one the four cardinal directions, the believes encounter diverse light experience that people never had before, and they will be in love with the feelings. Filtration is an important thing in architectural design. It is a tool that helps us make the most of the sun light and even all the natural things around the world in our designs.
