Li Tienan: Five Expectations of Lighting Design

Need to be improved - implementation of standards and regulations At present, in terms of lighting, the state has successively formulated or is in the process of formulating a number of related standards, codes, and local standards, such as "nightscape lighting technical specifications" as well as some safety regulations, energy conservation regulations, and light pollution prevention regulations. Wait. The norms and standards play a role in the management, specification, control, and promotion of the good development of lighting design applications. Therefore, they are very particular about standardization and rigor. The implementation of the national and local standards issued requires the cooperation of various departments. Only when the standards and norms can be truly implemented can the original purpose of development be achieved. After the introduction of the standard, the implementation mainly depends on the management department. If the planning is supervised by the municipal department, the building is approved by the construction department or the city management department. Although the implementation of various standards and specifications in the lighting industry has yet to be improved, the effects received are obvious to all. As long as the correct standards and guidelines are followed, the lighting design industry will surely get better and better.

However, in China's lighting design, there are still some problems that still need to be improved in the actual implementation of the standard specification. For example, some professional vocabularies are not fully understood, such as energy-saving lamps. In terms of specific meanings, the English name of energy-saving lamps is Compact Fluorescent Lamp, which is interpreted as a compact fluorescent lamp. Therefore, energy-saving lamps do not include fluorescent lamps that we commonly use. However, many architects, interior designers and even lighting designers often attribute fluorescent tubes to the category of energy-saving lamps. Strengthen the exchange and convergence between the standard specification and the designer, and make the standard specification be correctly explained in the designer.

Need to be improved - lighting design level lighting design industry from scratch, from the passive needs to the active design has undergone a long process of development. Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to lighting environment, and lighting designers play an increasingly important role in the construction environment. In different building environments, lighting designers should design lighting according to the functions of commercial buildings, office buildings, and home architecture, and the use of adults, adults, children, and other special needs.

As far as the overall development is concerned, China's lighting design has developed rapidly. However, there are still many gaps between the design level and the level of lighting design in developed countries. There are many reasons for this.

First of all, due to the low barriers to entry for lighting professionals and the large number of people entering the threshold, the overall domestic lighting design profession is relatively rich. There are many employees, but not many people do well; Second, China's lighting design industry More developed countries started late, but with the increase in market demand, China's lighting design industry in recent years by leaps and bounds, which also makes more and more people to join the industry to segment the market cake, in the industry by leaps and bounds in the development stage, the industry There are often jagged conditions inside; in addition, the profits of the lighting design industry are also one of the reasons that attract more interior designers, electrical designers and architectural designers to the lighting design industry. . In general, despite the fact that there are many lighting designers engaged in lighting design, there are very few people who have specialized in lighting design training. Many lighting designers are architects, interior designers, and electrical engineers. Therefore, lighting design is improved. The professionalism of the division is very necessary. However, at present, the overall level of domestic lighting design industry is also a necessary stage for the development of the industry. It is believed that in the next few years, the lighting design industry will gradually mature.

The combination of macro and micro - the grasp of urban planning With the development of economy, more and more cities guide the development of cities through the formulation of urban planning. Urban night lighting planning can be divided into overall planning, tourism environment planning and energy planning. The overall plan is to regulate the city's night view lighting by controlling the brightness, color, lighting, lighting effects, etc.; the tourism environment planning is to develop the city's tourism, with the night lighting of ancient architecture, natural landscapes, artificial landscapes, etc. Planning; energy planning is the planning of electricity consumption for night lighting in a particular area.

Since it is planning, the vast majority involved should be a macro policy. However, many of the city's nightscape lighting plans in China have emerged a phenomenon that “this macro is not macroscopic and the microscopic is not microscopic” phenomenon. The nightscape lighting plan is often the effect picture of the nightscape lighting instead of the macro design ideas. This resulted in the so-called "nightscape lighting plan renderings" came out, the city's relevant management departments began to purchase lamps, install lamps, ignoring some of the links. Such a city's nightscape lighting plan will not only fail to plan the city's overall lighting and scientifically and reasonably light the city, but it will sometimes result in repeated construction and waste of resources.

Every designer is an "artist"

Landscape lighting design is a combination of technology and art, through the art to achieve lighting effects. If the lighting environment can not bring out the landscape well, to maximize the beautification of the landscape, it will sometimes destroy the overall effect of the landscape. There are some problems with landscape lighting. The first is that lighting technology cannot meet the requirements. The second is that lighting effects need to be improved. The lack of lighting technology requires the joint efforts of designers, product manufacturers, and other aspects, and the improvement of lighting effects requires designers to continuously improve their personal qualities and have higher aesthetic qualities. Of course, it is not a requirement that the designers have the level of aesthetic masters, but that they should have the aesthetician's way of thinking, understand the architecture and understand the landscape. Only on the basis of understanding the architecture and landscape can lighting designers complement each other and create a second creation. Taking Chinese ancient architecture as an example, lighting designers must first understand the extension and connotation of Chinese ancient architecture before designing. Each section should be interpreted, including pillars, partitions, walls, and roof tiles. The flying roofs of Chinese ancient architecture are closely related to the earth. Therefore, designers must be able to show this relationship when lighting designs, and choose the right lighting method. Only by understanding the extension and connotation of ancient architecture, can we choose the correct lighting method on this basis so as to achieve the effect of not destroying the original structure of the building but also conforming to the historical and cultural atmosphere of the ancient architecture.

Even for an ordinary modern building, the lighting designer must strive for beauty, and the designed effect must meet the aesthetic concept of most people. Because of the choice of light colors, the designer needs to position according to the functions of the landscape and architecture. Landscape architecture can choose light with rich colors, which is also true for business districts. For government departments, monochromatic light should be chosen so as to maintain the authority image of government departments.

Increase multi-party interaction - design process lighting design has three levels, the first is to complete the function; the second is to achieve comfort; the third is to create an atmosphere.

In the design, the first level is the easiest to complete, designers can complete through a variety of technical specifications; the second level is more intuitive and relatively easy to complete; the third level to create atmosphere is the designer is not easy The level of achievement. With the improvement of people's quality of life and environmental quality, creating an atmosphere is becoming more and more important. The lighting atmosphere is formed by interaction with walls, ceilings, furniture, and accessories. Therefore, if lighting designers do not communicate with interior designers and architects, it is difficult to create a good atmosphere. Architects and interior designers have a self-position for the atmosphere that their work should create. After docking with lighting designers, this self-positioning can be combined with the lighting designer's self-positioning and match. Form a good atmosphere. If the designed lighting environment is inconsistent with the ideal environment, the lighting designer must negotiate with the interior designer and create a good environment atmosphere by changing part of the interior layout and adding items to the lighting.
