Lighting design how to show the charm of ancient architecture

Exquisite gardens in Suzhou, the ancient Hakkas, towering temples, magnificent ancient city of the desert plateau, the roof, the unique brick tiles, exquisite relief, even traces of the years with dialysis can still classical unique flavor and rich in ancient buildings Chinese oriental culture connotation. The ancient building carries a city or even a dynastic history, embodies rich cultural heritage, and modern lighting designers by combining light art, vitality of ancient building new, better show features and contour building in the night.

Different from modern architecture, as the historical and cultural heritage of the ancient building is a non renewable resources, in the lighting design should be avoided due to the damage caused by lighting. This is the lighting designer put forward higher requirements, then how to use the lighting design techniques to better demonstrate the unique characteristics of ancient architecture?

To show the overall light perception

From the "face" to show the characteristics of ancient architecture, lighting designers in the ancient architectural lighting project is the main use of the expression.

Shenzhen Kaiming electric lighting design Engineering Co. Ltd. design director Yuan Weiming said, for the new antique buildings, usually see the light but not light, because it is the antique building, lighting will try to combine with antique, antique buildings, lighting is not exposed. Personal recommendations do not have to show the details of the building, the performance of the building should be large, rather than what is now called 'every column will fight, every line will be hooked'. Because there are too many China architectural details in a richly ornamented building, if all of them are carefully illuminated lamps to hide all, we only need to show to the building itself volume. "

"Through the different intensity of light, the light and shade contrast, so that it naturally at night to produce a 'three-dimensional sense', and then create the overall atmosphere of the night. "Shenzhen Kai Ming Electric Lighting Co., Ltd., director of the same emphasis on the" face "of the presentation of Yuan Weiming.

In the selection of the corresponding lamps, Yuan Weiming recommend the use of large projection lights, or use those can match with the building structure and effectively hide the linear products to performance. It is worth noting that the need for the protection of the lamp as soon as possible with the architectural designer to confirm the installation node.

In real projects, mostly antique buildings, landscape lighting, architectural design and Research Institute of The China Academy of Art Jianxiu Zhu said that the lighting design of this type of building has more space: one is light small, well hidden, diffuse light through the display main component of the building; the second is based on the ancient function, or structure the main features to focus on the performance, to be precise light. Three is to do some projection according to the place, light show, increase the expression and atmosphere of the place, to meet the aesthetic needs of modern people.

With respect and protection of history and culture as the core

For the ancient architecture of the subordinate historical and cultural heritage, the expression is similar to that of the ancient architecture, but because of its great historical value, it should be based on respect and protection in the lighting design.

Yuan Weiming said, for the protection of the history of the building lighting design, no matter what kind of lighting purposes, first of all, from the perspective of the protection of the building, to minimize the fixture in the construction of their own lamps.

Yuan Weiming also stressed that the lamp is fixed on the ancient building is not respecting cultural behavior.

In addition, the years passed every China ancient buildings have a certain historical background, lighting design, designers need to fully understand the historical background of ancient buildings, according to the use function of building, architectural style, structure, decorative materials, decorative patterns and the environment, seize the key parts ancient architecture lighting, fully display the ancient architecture of the classical cultural value.

"In ancient architecture, every piece of wood is a legend, each tree has a memory, each brick has precipitation, have meaning to each couplet, each plaque has prayer. Think it through time and space long charm. We have a feeling of awe and admiration. Because each building has thought, each house has a life, not only is a family of thought and culture, witnessed the era of legend, is the memory of life, is a symbol of the system. Today, we look at it again, because the future, always remind ourselves that the home is not a pile of reinforced concrete, but an organic life. "Zhu Jianxiu sentence tells of strong feelings, the ancient building contains the he stressed, for through the rain vicissitudes of the ancient buildings, especially in historical and cultural protection building, should be from the perspective of protection design, mainly functional lighting, which is far from the perspective of light contour display.

After many Chinese ancient architectural lighting design, lighting techniques often used crochet, put the outline of the building with bright lines sketched out, but the effect is prominent contour light bulbs and not perfect itself, reflect the building level, detail, color and so on. The performance of the method of long distance light shows the characteristics of the building by using the level of light and shade and the different color of light, and at the same time, it can create a suitable atmosphere.

Virtual reality to show the courtyard space

"Virtual reality" is a kind of expression method for the lighting design of courtyard ancient buildings. The modern building three-dimensional statue form, for the construction of the building itself to do lighting is light, the night construction is reflected in the solid form; and Chinese ancient buildings mostly in the courtyard as the basic unit, by the combination of courtyard buildings, so the lighting needs performance object is actually a yard, designers need to through the lighting design of such ancient buildings surrounded the yard, although the building is illuminated, but to shape is not their own, but they were enclosed courtyard. That is to illuminate the entity of the building, but the performance of the "virtual" courtyard space.

"For the construction of environmental lighting, lighting and architecture and the environment is the best relationship between integration, into the invisible. Moonlight scene is the highest state of the night scene. "Shenzhen Kai Ming Electric Lighting Co., Ltd. has been focused on the ancient architecture, modern architectural lighting lamps and lanterns development, has been a number of blocks of ancient Chinese architecture" add new clothes". For the lighting technique, chairman Kean Wang Kai from a number of cases concluded, "I in ancient architecture landscape lighting technique is commonly used in 'structured lighting' --- the floodlights break up the whole into parts. Simple induction is the 'three structure', that is, the structure of the lighting, lighting into the structure, installation close to the structure. "

Compiling language:

Ancient architecture reflects the history and culture for thousands of years China charm, modern lighting designers will be the perfect fusion of art to a proper extent of light to the ancient buildings, which lack the artistic effect of the beauty, not destroying the building itself, at the same time to reach the green lighting standards, effectively enhance the ancient architectural image of the night.
