environment of the space and therefore is of great importance to a successful light design.
CASE STUDY | LIGHT GUANGZHOU OPERA HOUSE, CHINA Zaha Hadid adopts fuid luminosity in her unique architectural language which intensites the enhancement of light itself, opposed to using light as a visual effect within a structure. Her approach incorporates the aspects of form, which includes handling tangible materials, taking advantage of the medium of light in her designs, which includes interrelating light patterns into the fexible movements of membranes, and refectance, focusing on the sensation of materials and forms indirectly through refected light, which typically involves the use of glass surfaces. An example this can be seen in Zaha Hadid's Guangzhou Opera House, China The design of Guangzhou Opera House interweaves its surrounding landscape perfectly, so much that its design is symbolic of two pebbles picked from the bed of the river and placed on the river bank. The design incorporates the concepts of natural landscape, with nature and architecture being at intervals, followed by the principles of topography, geology and most importantly erosion and the role it plays in transforming river valleys. The way in which the interior of the building is divided into districts and zones is defined by the fold lines in the landscape, producing sensational l and smooth interior and exterior circulation passages, and penetrates natural daylight into the entire building. The interior endures the exterior and landscape language through fuidity and seamlessness; this was achieved through the use of GFRG (a custom moulded glass fibre reinforced gypsum). A unique feature of this building can be seen in its 1800 seat ground theatre, which adopts a ceiling filled with thousands of pixels, penetrating to the audience the illusion of a dream like starry sky and setting a stunning warm and glossy atmosphere. In addition, the cascaded balconies incorporate light patterns, which are intended to arouse the illusion of waterfall refections; linking the interior to the exterior water body and continuing the provocation of the same sensation through the whole building. In contrast, the glass triangular patterned facade, along with the crystalline exterior, reect the lake water and cause a rippling effect throughout the structure and walls, especially when the interior light of the building is shining on the water surface after dark. In addition, the triangular facade is comprised entirely of glass, which allows maximum light to enter the building and bounce off of the white walls throughout the entire building

more rational perception.
CASE STUDY | REFLECTION DEFINITION IN ARCHITECTURE THROUGH CASE STUDY The incorporation of reflection in architecture can be determined as the combination of materials and natural sources such as light and water to create forms with transparent skins which reflect the surrounding scenery and furthermore stimulate illusions and crystalline spaces. This approach to architecture shifts the focus from the internal space of structures to the external surfaces, increasing the importance and relevance of the skin as a carrier for the meaning of built forms. The common materials used to achieve this type of design include metal and glass. A great example of a modern reflective structure is the Cairns Botanic Gardens Visitors Centre, designed by Charles Wright Architects, 2012. The green building is a representation of a paradigm shift for the city, abandoning conventional architectural techniques and adopting progressive solutions for tropical latitudes instead. The design intended to catch the attention of national as well as international people by means of being a new architectural language for the tropics that is progressive. The structure maintains a strong relationship with its surrounding context by means of being ideally visible to the eye; reflecting and respecting the environment which it is in so well that it quite literally camouflages. The visual presence of the building extends far beyond its physical scale, the dramatic use of reflective glass walls and mirror finished stainless steel disturbs the perception of space by means of abandoning rigid boundaries between nature and built form. The cladded mirror surface consists of a series of flat metal panels which sit at different angles to break the facade down into facets and muddle the effect of reflected images. In order for the structure to blend into its site location, the design process required consideration of existing paths roads, easements, mature trees as well as the gradient, therefore the form of the building is non-linear as it is generated by the routes of significant pathways and tree plantings. In conclusion, the technique of reflection in architecture has several benefits towards achieving successful and unique built forms. From this case study the following can be established; in order for the external skin to not reflect an uncomfortable amount of light, the surface is broken up into smaller series which are positioned at different angles to achieve a crystal like effect which continuously changes as it catches glimpses of the reflections of its surrounding environment, particularly light, sky and water. The use of mirrored surfaces in architecture stimulates the aspect of truth in designs in regards to seeing the context as it is, without distortions or flaws. This furthermore enhances the element of natural light which is linked to positive energy and in general more attractive spaces. Reference: ArchDaily. (2017).

DESIGN PRECEDENT LIGHT GRAIN HOUSE | OSAKA, JAPAN This precedent building influenced both the first and second design concept in various ways. The most obvious aspect being the ceiling punctured with countless circular openings to allow the diffusion of natural light through the structure and provide ventilation also. The light which is penetrated through appears in small round rays which bounce off of the floors and walls, almost creating a starry sky or galaxy illusion. The light is broken into small parts and so it is easy on the eye and stimulates a rather calming atmosphere for a social, work or study space. The first design concept adopts the use of circular openings not only in the ceiling but throughout all of the faces which are above ground, thus when moving through the space a similar effect seen in this image is achieved. The second design concept is based on the same idea however expressed differently, opposed to small rays of round light, the space comprises of linear strokes of natural daylight on one side of the ceiling all throughout the building. This is achieved through the ceiling comprising of triangular shapes tilted on different angles at different height above ground, and sections of these triangles being almost stripped down into linear openings. This space also appears relaxing and comfortable on the eye as the light is broken up and penetrated through into smaller fractions.
