Special requirements for design techniques and lamps for ancient architectural lighting

Due to its uniqueness and non-renewability, ancient buildings have also become the focus of cultural relics protection. It is precisely because of this feature that ancient architectural lighting, for the lighting design and lighting itself, have put forward more stringent requirements.

As Zhu Jianxiu, director of the Lighting Institute of the China Academy of Art's Landscape Architecture Design Institute, said, in the ancient buildings, every piece of wood is a legend, every tree has a memory, and each piece of masonry has a sediment, each pair has a joint Deeply, every plaque has a pledge, thinking about its charm that passes through time and space. We admire the feelings with awe. Every ancient building is a gem in the vast expanse of Chinese civilization. It is the most important part of our national culture. Its uniqueness and non-renewability all impose strict requirements on lamps. Lighting people should be more cautious.

Ancient architectural lighting design principles

“Seeing the light without seeing the light” is the most commonly used design method in lighting design, and the ancient architectural lighting is the most typical representative of this concept. Different from the traditional culture paying attention to Confucius and Mencius, the Chinese people have always been closer to the Taoist inaction in the aesthetic concept. This concept is reflected in all aspects of aesthetics, including the lighting of ancient architecture. Modern people who do ancient architectural lighting must implement this concept and let the ancient buildings appear in a fresh posture.

Real and simple

Lu Zhang, chairman of Nanjing Keen Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. believes that ancient architectural lighting should implement real and simple design principles from beginning to end. There is no contradiction between the cultural heritage of ancient architecture and the protection of ancient architecture. As long as it is truly displayed, its cultural heritage will naturally be reflected. Don't avoid headline culture display, hanging a self-illuminating "hole" word does not mean Confucius and Mencius culture, but also avoiding the addition of snakes, and the colorful light dance is not the Buddha's light.

In the lighting performance of ancient architectural lighting, it must consider its historical significance, whether the lighting effect can present the characteristics of its historical space. When designing the lighting effects of ancient buildings, we should fully consider the aesthetic concept of the ancients, and sketch out the characteristics of the ancient buildings in the simplest way, so that the most authentic side of the ancient buildings can be presented, so that people can better understand. The original appearance of ancient architecture and the aesthetics of the ancients, and even the habits of the ancients. The significance of ancient architecture for today's people lies in letting us understand the past, understand history, understand culture, and do ancient architectural lighting with real and simple design concepts, reflecting an attitude of respecting history.

"Seeing the light can't see the light"

“Seeing the light without seeing the light” is simply to put forward specific requirements for the design of the installation position of the lamp and the position of the light projection of the lamp. It is necessary to consider the effect of the night and the effect of the day. In fact, "seeing the light without seeing the light" is often misleading. In the real project, there are many points of thinking that cannot be generalized. Zhu Jianxiu mentioned that in the ancient construction, some owners proposed to set up lanterns to create an atmosphere. In the north, they liked the red lanterns. The southern ones liked the elegant bamboo lanterns. The lanterns formed the sense of order in the streets and enriched the expression of the streets. Different needs are analyzed to clarify the core of the problem. Lu Zhang said that this kind of formulation is not very suitable when it comes to "seeing the light without seeing the light." Strictly speaking, seeing light is more harmful than seeing the light (of course, it is not the reflected light that the object is illuminated).

Personalized service

Because of the characteristics of the ancient buildings themselves, the lighting of ancient buildings has also set very different requirements for general lighting fixtures. As one of the typical companies that focus on ancient architectural lighting, Keen Lighting has its own unique understanding. Lu Zhang mentioned that when companies are doing ancient architectural lighting, professional customized services are the key to making ancient architectural lighting.

It is equipped with lamps that depict various detailed structures of ancient buildings. The cultural characteristics of ancient buildings are often reflected in the detailed structure of the building. For example: colonnade, tile head, flying dragonfly, bucket arch, painting, carving, kiss and so on. The presentation of these components is often more important than the building body. Painting a dragon is not as good as a snake, and painting a tiger is not as good as a cat. Therefore, the ancient building lighting series lamps should have special or dual-purpose lamps that depict these detailed structures.

The luminaire shall have good non-destructive installation performance. Installation of lamps on ancient buildings should be achieved by means of non-destructive installation such as clamping, bracing and hug. Because in ancient buildings, lamps can not be firmly anchored as in ordinary buildings, the lamps must not only have good non-destructive installation performance, but also the adjustment of the projection angle is also achieved by clips, supports, and hoops.

Timely and professional pre-sales and in-sale services. Due to the different shapes of the ancient buildings, the size difference between the same parts is also very large. The choice of lamps is not only the upper type, but also the upper position (sometimes even one lamp). It goes without saying that the supplier's pre-specialized communication service is very important. If it is not done well, it will delay the progress of the project, but it will determine the success or failure of the project.

In addition, the maintenance of historical buildings is more demanding than the general new construction. Therefore, the installation mechanism of the lamps themselves should be as simple as possible and easy to maintain; the choice of light source should pay attention to whether it will affect the material of historical buildings. Enterprises should focus on issues.

The ancient buildings that can be preserved to this day are basically large buildings or buildings, and they are built under the impetus of political power. They are as large as the overall planning and structure. They are small, one, one, one, one stone, and most are individually customized. Even mass production is a sculpture of a knife, which contains the ancient people's thoughts and charms, and is qualitatively different from industrial mass production. When we are doing lighting fixtures, even if we can't completely restore them, we should at least report a respectful attitude, respect history and reflect history.

When lighting is used in ancient architectural lighting fixtures, it should not be used for lighting. When the attitude of respecting history and respecting culture is always implemented, the lighting can be closer to the aesthetics of the ancients, and the lamps and buildings can be more perfectly integrated without revealing traces. .
