Site Analyze: The red area in the map is the site that we gonna use for the design project.

The blue line is a rough movement of the people around this site.

At the end of this site is a side door for uni, and the site sometimes will be used as the club activities or some other events.

Ambient light analysis

In day time, the mainly light source is the sunshine by refl ection, refraction and diffusion. Though there is large area glass, but due to the color of glass, there won’t be too much sunshine reflected by the glass to the ground. And in the summer time, the sunshine can directly radiate to the grassland until the sunset. But in the winter, the site will be covered by the shadows after 12pm and at 3pm it will be shaded about half of the whole area.

At night, the street lambs alone the pedestrians are on. And two big lambs shoot to the Barr Smith Library. There also are many lights in the corridors of the engineering building, MLS building and EngMath building. Stand in front of the Barr Smith Libr ary, the middle area looks a little bit dark than surroundings, but at another side of this area, it looks all good. So, it’s relative bright in the night time and everything can be seen clearly.

It is a project founded on a major symbol of Arab architecture: the dome.

But here, with its evident shift from tradition, the dome is a modern proposal.

A double dome 180 meters in diameter, offering horizontal, perfectly radiating geometry, a randomly perforated woven material, providing shade punctuated by bursts of sun. The dome gleams in the Abu Dhabi sunshine.

At night, this protected landscape is an oasis of light under a starry dome.

Luminosity Linguistic definition:

According to the dictionary, the luminosity is a word describe the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light. In astronomy area, the word is used to judge how bright a star or Sun is. In the art, it means the quality of color, the different levels shade of color.

Philosopher meaning:

The reason why we can see the objects is not because the object can emit the light, but it is the result of reflecting, refracting and diffusing of light. If an object can absorb all the light, then this object is not visible for our eyes, but we cannot say it doesn’t exist. And the different levels of luminosity for an object can make people have a total different feeling of the object.

The sculpture in the image never changed, but it gives people different feeling and impression; it’s simply due to the different luminosity and light direction. Hence, the luminosity may affect the people’s judgement about the object in a total different direction.

Meaning in architecture: The different leve ls of luminosity can create a certain atmosphere and circumstance t hat architect want to achieve; and the atmosphere can have a directly effects on people mood, especially in the place such as gallery, church and museum.

Church of the light in Japan, designed by Tadao Ando, is one of the best project to show the using of light. This church is built with concrete, with a cross gap on the east facing façade. In the design, only one window was opened to the church hall and limited light can through the glass entering the interior. Not like the traditional church, there is no ornaments on the wall; only the bare concrete walls surround the space and this space is filled with t he darkness due to the limited light can come in. As a result of this design, a void and peaceful space was form, which correspond to Ando’s ideas that create a “Zen” space for peoples’ meditation or prayer. The light come in from the east façade become a natural light cross. The light cross as the only religious symbol in the church, also as another light source, it formed a strong contrast between the hard-concrete solid and the dark, void space. The comparison shows the soft of light and highlights the sanctity of cross in people’s mind.

Another meaning for the architecture is the illumination, the most basic but important meaning.

Different building has the different requirements for the illumination.The Kimbell Art Museum by Louis Kahn focused on the use of natural light, it creates a sophisticated space that are perfectly suited for the art exhibition. The core point also the most distinctive place in the design is the roof. The natural light through the skylight come in, part of the light is reflected by the aluminum panel and flow in along with the concrete. Other natural light come in through the gaps between the aluminum panels to avoid the dark in the interior space. On the floor plan, three light court were settled and two of them located in the south exhibition room. Thus, the daylighting in south area is better than north, and it can meet the different requirements for different exhibits. Such as the drawings that need to avoid the light can be placed in the north area and the sculptures can be placed in south at the same time.

Reflection Linguistic definition:

In the dictionary, the word ‘reflection’ is the act of reflecting, as in casting back a light or heart, mirroring, or giving back or showing an image; the state of being reflected in this way. It also means an image; representation or counterpart.

Philosopher meanings:

In philosopher field, why we can see different colour is due to the reflection of light. There are 7 colours in the natural light, and why we can see different colour is the object will reflect the colour that it owned and absorb the rest colour in the light.

The shade of colour is also the result of reflection. The less light object can reflect, the darker the object will be seen. And when the object absorbs all the colours, it will be black in our eyes, when the object reflects all the light, it will be white in our eyes.

Meaning in architecture:

One of the meaning in modern architecture is use the reflection as a technique to build the green building or sustainable building. By controlling the light reflection, the light can be lead into the building or lock light out the building to meet the temperature and brightness requirements of the building .

Italian firm Giovanni Vaccarini Architetti has designed the new Headquarters of the Swiss Société Privée de Gérance (SPG), built on Route de Chêne, at the gates of the historical center of Geneva. This work involved the extension of existing building and starting with a glass façade that can meets the requirements for shade and visual permeability. This project uses the triple glass as the main materials for the exterior façade. In day time, the triple glass wall can reflect most of the sunlight while also isolating the heat outside the building, this passive cooling system reduce the electricity use of the air condition greatly.

At the same time, the sunlight through the windows get in the interior space and provide comfortable brightness for the office which also reduce the electricity use of lighting system. The reflect effective at night

time give people a total different feeling. By reflecting the light between the glass and steel structures, it impressed people with glorious and high-tech style.

Another case is urban reflection designed by HOLODECK architects, located in 1010 Vienna, Austria. This roof extension project is a multiple levels apartment divided into common and private area based on the concept of green filter areas. By using the reflective glass, the privacy of residentials in this apartment can be guaranteed; and at the same time, they also can get enough sun light in the room.

Another meaning the reflection bring to the modern architecture is it can expand people’s horizon and highlight the elements that designer want to emphasis.

This cafĂŠ is designed by bandesign located in Gifu, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Opposite to the cafĂŠ is a row of cherry-blossom tree, and at the centre of the mirror is a camellia. The mirror reflects the cherry-blossom and bring it next to the camellia so that people outside can realize the season change by viewing the two-different tress just in one picture. The reflection brings two types of trees together and balance the colour in the small area and emphasis the change of trees to indicate the season change, which is the point that designer want to convey to the visitors. And the reflect also
