he Barr Smith Library is the main library of the University of Adelaide, situated in the centre of the North Terrace campus. The library was named in honour of Robert Barr Smith who donated £9000 to buy books. In 1920 his family

gave an extra £11,000 in the form of an endowment and in 1928 his son, Tom Elder Barr Smith, gave £30,000 for the Barr Smith library building.

- 24/7 access to the High Use Collection and study spaces on level 3 - Large curated collections across many subject areas, including Australian history, politics and literature, English literature, world wars, socialism and fascism, women and gender studies, utopian literature, and food studies.

- Specialist collections, including the Music Collection, East Asian Collection and Yaitya Ngutupira.

Over 500 individual study spaces - Over 130 computers Printing, scanning and photocopying on each level

rchitectural scale is one of the most commonly used

notions in architectural discourses. One speaks of buildings that lack scale, of architecture with a human scale, of a monumental or an intimately scaled space or facade. However, the idea of scale is one of the most elusive in the field.

inguistically, luminosity refers to the state of being luminous, or a luminous object and it could be understood as the brightness of a light source as it appears to the eye.

In architecture, luminosity involves the innovative use of light line to connect our perceptions to the architecture of the building. The viewers could ‘feel’ the materials of the building indirectly through the reflected light. Some of the examples include the non-parallel lines, luminaire patterns, utilizing glasses and different temperature of lights. Zaha Hadid is one of the most important architects in developing the concept of luminosity. Three decades’ time after the introducing limited light lines in her early Vitra Fire Station, the Leeza SOHO skyscraper was designed by using the daylight based on the Dongdaemun Design Plaza Seoul luminosity concept. Zaha Hadid’s use of light lines was a great improvement, however, several signature buildings in luminous fields appeared later.

Zaha Hadid was inspired by the white road markings after and she combined them with abstract paintings and transferred them into strips in the concrete roof or tilted poles in the parking spaces. The phaeno Science Center is another example of utilizing luminosity and this time, windows and luminaires are playing big roles. Unlike previous designs, it does not have any straight lines or sharp corners and instead, curly lines and curved shapes which is related to fluidity as well. The Nordpark Railway Station uses mirrors and glasses to stimulate individual’s perception which is using similar strategy as the Serpentine Sackler Gallery. In most of cases before, architects are using cold, raw and concrete for the buildings, however, Hadid changed to use golden color to create a warm atmosphere for the audiences in Guangzhou Opera House.

Layers of ceilings are created to illustrate a magic sky for the audience. Heydar Aliyev Center is the example of using the interior light to make changes between daylight and nightlight by flowing around. According to the masterpieces, it is obvious that interpretations of light are various, glasses, mirrors and interior lights could all be used. The architects should consider what kind of atmosphere is to be created and take materials into account before deciding the properties of ViPhaeno Science Center Wolfsburg / Germany lights.

On the east and west side have two small pyramid prism, these two prism

can reflect the sunlight to the slope wall, and it well reflect again to the celling then to the floor.

Reflection have three main definitions in architecture. First, image in a mirror,

shiny surface or water etc. Second, it’s an action or process of send back light. Third, it’s a sign show the state or nature of something.

Deconstructing the filtration cycle is a complex process, and layers are used to separate spaces based on the concept of “water filtration� in the water making process. Light materials such as barcode glass and mesh are used for partitioning, and vertical and horizontal routes pass through and overlap like the water treatment process. Table lamps and railings are decorated with bright and saturated colors. The spatial direction and linear rhythm are guided through the layout of work ta-bles, pipelines, and steel beams.

The stainless steel block shaped structure at the entrance is polished by hand and glistens like water ripples. The reception counter and outdoor signboard wall are made from cement and have layers of water wave patterns. Along with the wall full of the filtering material activated carbon, as if they begin to tell the story of this space.

Together with the rich colors of the factory wall next to it, they form a modern façade that is minimalism with aesthetic colors. The recycling structure made from transparent plastic sheets becomes a light emitting building when sunlight shines on it, performing the performance art of recycling in the front courtyard.

The middle of the space is a laboratory built with glass, the laboratory’s table is made from steel, veneer, and hollow boards symbolize the corporate culture of innovation and research & development, showing the dy-namic process through a circular route surrounded by lamps.
