Narrative lighting of historical architectural complexes
The key ideas for the lighting design of this night scene photo can be summarized into the following five dimensions:
1. Narrative Lighting of Historical Architectural Complex: Adopting a graded lighting strategy, the Baroque style dome church uses 3000K warm white light to highlight the dome curve, the Gothic spire forms an upward visual guidance through the top spotlight, and the Gothic tower of the 14th century stone bridge emphasizes stone carving details with 2700K amber light. Buildings from different periods construct temporal and spatial layers through color temperature differences.
2. Water Boundary Light Environment Symbiosis System: Low angle floodlights are installed along the riverbank, and the beam is projected diagonally towards the water surface at a 45 ° angle, forming a 1.5-meter-high skirt at the bottom of the building. At the same time, linear wall wash lights are installed inside the bridge arches, and the light is reflected by the water surface to form a complete "light bridge" reflection, achieving a dialogue between physical and virtual images of light and shadow.
3. Skyline Rhythm Control: Strictly follow the proportion of building height to allocate light intensity. The highest spire adopts 150lux key lighting, the second highest building reduces to 80lux, and the residential complex is controlled below 30lux. The skyline rhythm of "main peak secondary peak hills" is formed through brightness gradient to avoid visual fatigue caused by flat lighting.
4. * * Natural Environment Integration Design * *: Retain the dark environment base of the riverbank trees, and only decorate the edge of the tree crown with micro starlight lights below 5W, forming a three-layer contrast relationship of "building brightness - tree darkness - water reflection". At the same time, control the color rendering index Ra ≥ 90 of the light source to ensure the true presentation of the original color of the building stone and the natural green of the vegetation under the light.
5. Dynamic Light and Shadow Narrative Creation: Programmable LED floodlights are installed on bridge columns to simulate the movement of moonlight. The slow light effect changes at a 15 ° angle every hour, combined with water flow fluctuations to form dynamic light and shadow ripples, injecting a sense of time flow into the static building complex.
