Roof-focused lighting
An obvious architectural feature of traditional Chinese architecture is the large roof, but it will not appear clumsy after the curved and curved processing and decoration.
Because of the special roof form of Chinese traditional buildings, the night lighting of the roof must be more focused, so that the charm of ancient buildings can be expressed. The form of the roof, the materials and the brightly painted decorations on the buckets all have a great influence on the lighting.
If the roof is paved with tiles, small spotlights can be installed at the cornice to cast light upwards, or small spotlights can be set up along the ridge to cast light downwards, which not only shows the structural beauty of traditional roofs, but also reflects the roof Alice silhouette. It is also possible to outline the roof to depict the essence of the unique shape of the roof.
Similarly, the ridge and other details of the roof can also use small fiber optic lamps for local key performance.
Take the house as the main lighting object
Although the roof form of ancient Chinese buildings is exquisite, the lighting method of "not illuminating the roof, only illuminating the bucket and the roof under the roof in the direction of the buried light" can be used, and the effect of pursuing exquisite silhouette silhouettes is more Chinese traditional The implicit beauty of architectural art.
There are also colonnade buildings that illuminate the walls of the internal survey, so that the outer components form a silhouette effect, which is also full of the artistic conception of Chinese painting.
Lighting combined with roof and body
Brightening the sloping roof and at the same time illuminating the pillars or walls of the house is also a way of expressing traditional Chinese architectural lighting.
However, with combined lighting, it is easy to have equal lighting in all parts or all parts of the building are very bright. Therefore, we must pay attention to the relationship between light and dark in architectural lighting.
The lighting is arranged according to the column positions of the bright, second, and slightly different bays of the building, highlighting the rhythm of the bay pillars and the rich relationship between the arches under the eaves. Light enhancement measures can be taken in the bright area to make the upper plaque more eye-catching.
Floodlights can also be set on the exterior of the building. The lamps are hidden in the greening of the surrounding environment, and can even be combined with green lighting.
Chinese architectural lighting design
At the same time, the following three principles must be met
1. Meet the laws of aesthetic - The aesthetics of the building is to express the geometric beauty, layering and three-dimensionality of the building based on the regular combination of points, lines and surfaces illuminated by light, light and dark, and dynamic and static.
2. Reduce glare interference and reflect human care
Due to the installation position, height and projection direction of the lamps and lanterns, glare may occur, which affects people's normal night rest and also increases social safety risks. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the lamp position, projection angle, and projection direction of the luminaire.
3. Design principles for energy saving and environmental protection
Energy-saving issues must be considered when lighting design in buildings, and high-quality energy-saving light sources, lamps and equipment with long life and high luminous efficiency should be used as much as possible, such as LED, optical fiber and solar photovoltaic lighting.
Regarding the lighting design of key historical preservation buildings, no matter what the purpose of lighting is, first of all, from the perspective of building protection, try to minimize the lamps fixed in the building itself. Chinese architecture represents our beautiful traditional feelings, and its architectural night lighting design should be based on the different processing methods of Chinese architectural art, rationally and effectively express the character of Chinese architecture and add color to the building.
