All lighting is inseparable from the surface, line, point, movement, static these several expressions, the building’s facade lighting design for the building to reshape the night image plays an important role, the building structure is different, the various parts of the building facade lighting design is also different, differentiated and complete unity, so as to form the perfect building facade night lighting.
European style architectural lighting design
For European classical architecture or modern architecture with European classical style, can be based on the classical architecture itself has the composition characteristics such as three sections or five sections to organise lighting, so that the light also forms multiple sections, each section of light intensity reasonable control attenuation degree, highlighting the rich light and shadow relationship of the eaves of European architecture.
At the same time, the use of European architectural façade modelling in the recurrence of coupled columns to arrange lighting, reflecting the complex and rich light and shadow relationship of coupled columns, balconies, coupled windows and other components, the upper and lower two main sections can change the light colour or increase the light intensity to achieve the role of highlighting the focus and closure.
Chinese architectural lighting design
For Chinese classical architecture, mainly according to the division of the building’s bright, the secondary, the slight opening of the column position layout lighting, highlighting the rhythm of the opening column body and the rich relationship of the arch under the eaves, the bright parts of the lighting can be taken to strengthen the measures to make the upper plaque more striking, multi-storey Chinese classical architecture lighting arrangement can be based on the floor to segment, the method with the European classical architecture processing.
There are two points to note here: one is that the large roof section of Chinese architecture can be solved by means of contour lighting strips, which means that along the hipped or hiatus hills, each ridge side of the hard hills is arranged with luminous lighting strips to reflect the contours; the second is the light colour, the eaves of Chinese architecture have a very pure colour surface, these chromatic pure colour paintings give a harmonious beauty through visual reconciliation with the naked eye, to reflect this beauty we can use a full spectrum of lighting to reflect.
Lighting design for multi-storey modern buildings
For multi-storey modern buildings, mainly according to the individual characteristics of the building, emphasising the block and volume of the building, making full use of the inherent decoration of the building to form changes in light and shadow; buildings with simple walls can use coloured light sources or coloured mixed light sources to form special effects and enhance artistic charm; the ground floor entrance needs to be strengthened with light to highlight the key points; the top closure can be used to highlight the outline with light box advertising or luminous strips.
Lighting design for modern high-rise buildings
The podium:
The podium is the simplest part, highlighting the illumination of the entrance. The transmission of light from the interior lobby is itself a rich visual source.
Towers:
the lighting treatment of the towers has to solve three problems. One is the intensity of light on the four facades, the tower above the parts of the high-rise building but need to have lighting effects on each facade, because many angles within the city are likely to view the four faces of the high-rise building and the roof, if the high-rise building does not make four facades of the treatment, will give a sense of the yin and yang face. Secondly, the tower is too high caused by the light intensity attenuation to the tower illumination problem, the solution to the problem is to set up a high-power spotlight in the same light position to fill the light, if the tower itself has a segmentation best use segmentation set light source.
The roof:
the roof is the most painstaking part of the high-rise building, but also the strongest part of the high-rise building identity, the part of the lighting treatment is the most important. First of all, to ensure sufficient brightness, the brightness of this part should be the most of the tower; secondly, the base of the roof and the bottom of the roof for key lighting; thirdly, the roof frame or net frame for projection processing, if the roof for the full glass surface will not produce the effect of projection processing, this time should be used from the indoor glass facing outward transmission of light, the intensity of the light source should not be too large, so as not to produce optical interference; light source can be patterned arrangement, and can be flashing processing. and can be flicker processing.
