Sciences, Ingkarni Wardli and the Engineering and Maths Sciences building. If you’re looking for a bench to sit on, these lawns are lined by picnic tables. A water bubbler stands in front of The Braggs entrance.

Provided the enough space between the tree can give more area for people to

enjoy the shadow. The lawns can also give people more free space when they do some activities on it.

LIGHT STUDY

Definition Of Light

I

n the 5th century BC, Empedocles proposed the assumption that everything consists of four elements: fire, air, earth and water. He believes that the human eye is made of Aphrodite by these four elements, and Aphrodite is burned in the eyes of the human being, thus illuminating the foreign objects to form a vision.

But if this is the case, then people who have nights should have the same vision. For this problem, Empedocles hypothesized a mechanism of solar light and line of sight mutual inductance to explain.

Around 300 BC, Euclid wrote his research on the nature of light in his book Optics. Euclidean conceived the direct propagation of light and mathematically studied and elaborated the law of reflection. He questioned the idea that vision produces light in the eye because it does not explain why the star can be seen immediately after blinking at night, unless the light from the eye spreads at a very fast speed.

When light and the intent of the physical space are in the same direction, the light space and the physical space will overlap and strengthen each other; and when the light and the entity create the intentional intent of the space, the light space and the physical space intersect, connect, Relationships and other relationships.The angle of light and illumination are different, and the visual effects will be completely different.

There are various kinds of stimuli in the environment. These stimuli form a feeling through the brain that the sensory organs transmit to the human brain. The brain uses the past knowledge or experience to explain the stimuli/feeling, and produces judgments and evaluations of the environment (environmental recognition Know), and respond to this action. The light environment will also have an impact on behavior and psychology through such procedures.

Crowding is a good example: a common phenomenon refers to a stressful state created by human perception after being influenced by density, other contextual factors, and certain personal characteristics. Under the same density conditions, if the light is darker and dark enough to see the details in the space, people will feel less secure, and subconsciously will habitually pile up in the crowd. Of course, you can also simply understand that the distance of half a meter is a relatively high-level force, so people will naturally choose this kind of forced behavior in a brighter environment, but it does not matter in the dark place, because the basic No one can see your face. . . That’s why bars, discos, and cafes all like to use dark lights; why at brighter restaurants, the brighter restaurants feel more crowded than those in dimly lit restaurants; why the office space under the flowing space provides far superiority Office experience in an old office building.

“Light” - The Life Of Architecture

I

n the design process, we often use the lighting design to improve the safety of the space. As mentioned in the crowded example, the recognition of obstacles and the recognition of faces are related to the safety of space. The higher the illumination and brightness, the clearer the view and the safer it feels. By providing sufficient illumination for warning areas such as stairs, remote narrow spaces and corners, accidents and crime rates can be effectively reduced.

Sunlight is the light that is “burned” by the thermonuclear fusion reaction on the sun. After a long distance, the atmosphere is filtered and reaches the surface of the earth.It is precisely because of the most important natural light source of sunlight that the whole world can be colorful and colorful.“Light gives life to all things.” Because of “light,” the form, space, and detail of the building can be presented.At the same place, the intensity of light, the angle of illumination, the color temperature, etc., have been changing over time.There is a “shadow” in “light”. It is precisely because of the constant change of “light” that the original unchanging, lifeless architectural form and space become agile under the light of “light”, as if it has life.

“Light” is not only the most important source of life force, it also has a huge impact on people’s spirit. Because of this, we often use “sunshine” to describe a healthy character.The influence of “light” on the external form of the building is more in the visual effect. In addition to the visual effect, the influence of “light” on the indoor space is more significant for the spatial atmosphere and the user’s spiritual influence.
