3D VIEWS 3

Ground views present the scale of each building surrounding the Lawns and the contrast in axis between the flat ground plane and vertical structures. The linear nature of the site is also expressed in each perspective with long lines dictating the focal points along the lawns to and from the Barr Smith Library.

Assessing the cast of shadow across the Math Lawns at different times of day in both Summer and Winter provide an insight into the level of interaction available for an underground Light Pavillion. It is clearly evident that during the Summer months, strong direct light covers the lawns for most of the day whilst it is quite the contrary in winter. Creating a space that caters for all times of the day and year is essential to produce an emotional experience underground that is open to change seasonally with varying levels of luminosity across the site.

After studying the site for a period of time during a busy period of the day, commonly used access points as well as shortcuts and frequently used paths were noted. Obstructing the paths across the south-western section of the lawns, particularly near the stairway casing the westerly end of Ingkarni Wardli, would result in unrest as it is an area of high traffic, particularly on the hour. In most situations, people tend to stay to the provided paths across the site for direct and linear access to their desired destination.

ADDITIONAL SITE INFORMATION As seen in images 7a and 7c, preparation has begun for the University of Adelaide Open Day, one of many events that take place on the Math Lawns. Other social events include; Adelaide University Society barbeques and University Sporting Events, hence majorly obstructing the area, particularly the south-westerly lawn area, is not an option. Additionally, the Barr Smith Library is heritage listed by the South Australian Heritage Register, hence any obstruction of view from Frome Rd is prohibited. The Math Lawns provide an area that is abundant with social and cultural life that needs to be taken into consideration.

AMBIET LIGHT ANALYSIS

There is an abundance of ambient light on the site which illuminates a majority of the area, with the exception of the shadow cast in the morning during winter (image 7b). During the day, sunlight is producing the ambience such that the contrast between interior and exterior limits the visibility within each structure.

After the sun has set, interior light dominates the large surfaces of each building and large exterior lights illuminate a majority of the area creating an area that feels safe and peaceful even at later hours of the evening (images 7a & 7c).

LUMINOSITY LIGHT STUDY 1

T

he quality of Luminosity in Light can be presented in a wide range of philosophical and scientific interpretations, as well as its value in architecture. Derived from the Latin word lumin, something that is luminous is radiating or reflecting light. In Optics, the study of light and its behavior, Luminance is defined as the quantitative measure of brightness of a light source or illuminated surface.

The luminosity of an object or surround is often associated with enlightenment, spiritually or through greater knowledge, and religiously as to serve a higher ‘purpose’ and to seek the divine. There is a connection to light and luminosity in almost every religion, each interpretation differing but the divine nature of light is ever present. Intensity plays a large role in the divine, as the greater the intensity, especially of ‘white’ light, the more pure and ‘divine’ the environment is. Knowledge and light are linked through various terms and phrases such as illumination and enlightenment, ‘to see the light’, ‘it dawned on me’ and ‘to shed some light on the matter’. All use the fundamental principles and behaviors of light, with specific regard to its luminous qualities as a metaphor of knowledge, to seek knowledge or the realisation of exposure to new wisdom.

Luminosity is a pivotal tool in an Architects arsenal when it comes to setting the tone and shaping the experience of a position, room or even an entire structure. The manipulation of light’s intensity and exposure drastically changes the feeling of a space, both positively and negatively. Davide Macullo Architects have manipulated the direction and intensities of light perfectly in their Swiss House XXXIV Galbisio in Bellinzona, Switzerland earlier this year. The house, which is constructed of a multitude of intersecting planes, restricts and directs light such to benefit the inhabitants of the building by providing “…a place of positive energy, where man is the protagonist in finding his way to become a better person.”

The presence of abundant light and a pale colour palette on the interior of the structure plays a pivotal role in providing a welcoming and uplifting space that feels crisp through the linear design of the structure. Windows act as luminaries, providing and dispersing light into the building at unique angles and intensities creating individual spaces throughout the home. During the day, direct light is drawn into the building through large bay windows generating pockets of intense luminosity that illuminates the surrounding areas to great prevail. After the sun has set though, interior lighting reverses the effect where now the source of light is from the interior, emitting purposeful and directed light outward and into the night sky. This inversed setting fabricates a fascinating appeal of curiosity as to what the source of light is and how to reach it.
