The open garden space in the city is more and more favored by people, and the landscape lighting design of this kind of "urban oasis" is also paid more and more attention. So, what are the common methods of different types of landscape design? Today, let's introduce several common lighting designs for outdoor landscape:
Night scene lighting of buildings. Night scene lighting of buildings, the most commonly used are floodlighting, contour lighting, internal light transmission lighting, etc.
Floodlighting. It is to use the projection (flashing) lamp to directly illuminate the facade of the building at a certain angle calculated according to the design, so as to reshape the image of the building at night. Its effect can not only show the whole picture of the building, but also effectively show the shape, three-dimensional feeling, stone decoration materials and material texture of the building, as well as the detailed treatment of decoration.
Floodlighting does not simply reproduce the daytime image of the building, but uses the means of light, color and shadow of projection lighting to reshape the more moving, beautiful and magnificent image of the building at night.
Contour lighting. It is to directly draw the outline of the building with linear light sources (string lights, neon lights, Meinai lights, light guide tubes, LED light strips, whole body luminous optical fibers, etc.). Illuminating the edge of a building with a narrow beam of light can also outline the outline.
Internal translucent lighting is to use indoor light or lamps installed in special positions to transmit light from the interior of the building to the outside to form an exquisite night scene lighting effect.
Night view lighting of the square. The lighting of the square is mainly composed of fountains, ground and signs of the square, tree arrays, entrance and exit lights of underground shopping malls or subways, and environmental lighting such as surrounding green spaces and flower beds. The shape and area of the square are amorphous and diverse. The lighting must be set on the premise of meeting the functional lighting, and give full play to the function of the square according to the inherent characteristics of the square.
Night lighting of the bridge. Modern bridges are mostly modern steel cable-stayed bridges, including double tower cable-stayed bridges and single tower cable-stayed bridges. The shape feature of cable-stayed bridge is the cable. The lighting of the bridge will focus on highlighting this feature. With different lamps and unique artistic techniques, a huge harp will stand on the river.
In order to set off the overall effect of the festival atmosphere of the bridge, one artistic lamp can be placed every 4-5 meters along the road on both sides of the bridge to form a shining pearl necklace.
Landscape lighting of the tower. The tower body is usually composed of several basic parts such as base, tower body and tower top, which constitute a harmonious whole. The complete lighting performance of each part of the tower is very important. Only showing a certain part or favoring one over the other will alienate the overall image of the tower.
The top part of the tower is usually for long-distance viewing, and the lighting brightness should be appropriately higher.
The tower body is often the part with rich details and bearing the architectural style. The lighting methods should be selected, the tower components and carvings should be carefully depicted, and the main parts of the tower body should be highlighted with emphasized lighting methods.
The tower base is a part close to people. The lighting performance of this part is to complete the integrity of the tower image. The lighting set for them should take into account people's feelings when viewing at a close distance. The configuration of lighting brightness, light tone and light projection direction should aim at people's visual comfort.
As far as the whole tower is concerned, from bottom to top, the illuminance of the lighting light should be gradually increased, which can create a sense of towering and conform to the visual law when people watch the scenery.
Landscape lighting of overpass. Overpass is often located on the main traffic road of the city and is an important part of the overall effect of urban landscape lighting.
Green space should be set in the overpass area, which plays an important role in adjusting the landscape environment of the overpass area and should be fully utilized. Watch the panoramic pattern of the overpass from the high view point. There are not only the line outline of the lane, but also the light composition and light sculpture in the green space, as well as the bright line formed by the street lights in the bridge area. These light elements are combined to form an organic overall picture.
Landscape lighting of waterscape. Waterscape is an important part of garden landscape. There are many forms of waterscape, including the Great Lakes with open water and rippling blue waves, as well as streams, fountains, waterfalls and cement pools.
The night scene lighting method of the water surface is mainly to use the water surface to create a real scene and the lighting of trees and railings on the bank to form a reflection on the water surface. The reflection and the real scene are compared with each other, setting off and reflecting each other. Coupled with the dynamic effect of the reflection, it makes people interesting and beautiful.
For fountains and waterfalls, underwater lighting can be used to illuminate underwater lights of the same or different colors upward according to a certain pattern. The effect is magical and interesting.
Landscape lighting of trees. Trees are one of the four elements of garden landscape. The landscape lighting of trees should be treated differently according to the height, size, shape characteristics and color of trees.
Functional lighting of park roads. The road is the vein of the garden, which leads visitors to various scenic spots from the entrance. The path is winding, creating a quiet effect. The lighting method should closely follow this feature.
Landscape lighting of sculpture sketch. Sculpture sketches and signs in gardens are ornamental; The other is commemorative. Lighting should start from the characteristics of the sculpture, especially for key parts such as head, appearance, materials, color and surrounding environment. The side should be cast from top to bottom, and it is not suitable to irradiate evenly from the front, so as to create a lighting effect with real appearance, appropriate luster and strong three-dimensional sense. Narrow beam lamps should be selected and equipped with appropriate light sources to avoid the direction of tourists' line of sight and prevent glare interference.
Landscape lighting of ancient buildings. Chinese classical architecture is unique and has its own system. It has its own inherent characteristics in material, shape, plane and spatial layout. The main buildings are in the middle, and other buildings develop to both sides according to the central axis. The architectural form is basically composed of three parts: step base, roof and body.
The roof of Chinese classical architecture is often made into a soft curve, surrounded by cornices and stilts, covered with grey tiles or glass tiles, which is one of the inherent characteristics of Chinese classical architecture. Therefore, accurately grasping this feature and highlighting it in the form of light at night is the key to the lighting of Chinese classical architecture.
