Let there be light What is ‘good reading light’? The phrase conjures up an image of a reader near a window, book to hand, the page in question turned towards the light. What the image implies is that the relationship of the reader to the light, the book, and the room is important – in other words, that good conditions for reading are a matter of spatial geometry as well as sufficient illumination. The issue of lighting in libraries is one that is still discussed and debated today. Well-designed and carefully positioned lighting makes patrons feel good and comfortable in their surroundings; bad lighting creates problems for patrons when they are reading, studying or searching for books and may keep their visit to the library short. Lighting can even have a negative impact on library staff too. If poor lighting harms the ability of the staff to function, which can happen if lighting creates glare and heavy shadows, the library is likely to be unpopular. A library with insufficient or poorly designed lighting is far from welcoming. In this situation, I tried to design the natural light with more control with some accidental holes on the top which does not disturb the patrons. Thus, in my opinion, it is better to provide enough light for studying with electricity in order to control the amount of the room light at the edge of comfort.
TENNIS STADIUM
FOOTBALL STADIUM
I decided to design a football stadium and a tennis stadium for South African cities. The main purpose of designing the concept of the stadium is to indicate the nature of South Africa. So that I tried to make the concept of a design similar to the Chameleon's eye. Chameleon is a unique reptile that exists in South Africa and is also symbolized there.
