Last night, guests boarded the "Two Rivers Tour" cruise ship to admire the charming night scenery of Chongqing's "Two Rivers and Four Banks", offering suggestions for improving the quality of Chongqing's night scenery. When the cruise ship arrived at Jiangbeizui, Zhu Lidong, a national first-class registered lighting designer and the design director of Tongfang Co., Ltd.'s western district, was particularly excited. This is the lighting show designed by our team. "Zhu Lidong changed from a guest to a" tour guide, "pointing to the Jiangbei Mouth Dream Lighting Show and introducing it to everyone. Zhu Lidong is not from Chongqing, but he knows the night scenery of Chongqing very well. In 2006, Zhu Lidong was admitted to the Department of Architecture at Chongqing University as a graduate student, majoring in urban lighting. I fell in love with the night scenery of Chongqing at that time, it was so shocking! "Zhu Lidong said. The integration of Chongqing's myriad lights and urban landscapes made Chongqing's night scenery" both human and smoky ". After graduating from graduate school, Zhu Lidong worked in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. But not long after, he returned to Chongqing. The night scenery of Chongqing is still charming, "said Zhu Lidong. Chongqing has mountains and water, which makes Chongqing's night scenery irreplaceable and has many innovative spaces. In 2015, Zhu Lidong led a team to design the Jiangbei Mouth Lighting Show. At that time, the lighting linkage of multiple buildings was not common in landscape lighting across the country. Zhu Lidong has studied for nearly half a year how to link the lighting of the 9 buildings in Chongqing Grand Theatre and Jiangbei Zui. We have made a lot of innovation and repeatedly modified the design scheme, "said Zhu Lidong. Behind the dream of Jiangbei Mouth Light Show is the application of a series of modern technologies such as DMX512 data transmission protocol, RGB+W color changing lamps, and IoT remote control system.
It is particularly worth mentioning that after the appearance of the Jiangbei Mouth Lighting Show, the appearance of the 9 buildings with lights on did not change during the day. We combined LED light beads into light strips and got stuck in the gaps on the exterior of the building, with the same color as the exterior. "Zhu Lidong said, hiding nearly 500000 LED light beads in nine buildings in Jiangbeizui.
The Chongqing Grand Theater, which led the dance in the Jiangbei Mouth Light Show, also used "hiding techniques" in landscape lighting construction. Zhu Lidong designed a group of light modules in the inner seam of the glass facade of Chongqing Grand Theater. In this way, during the day, you can't see where the lights are at the Chongqing Grand Theater. At night, the lighting of Chongqing Grand Theater also appears very soft.
*Recently, as the main urban area's Spring Festival lighting gradually lights up, Zhu Lidong has received many beautiful pictures from friends, praising this year's Spring Festival lighting for being even more beautiful. "There are still more surprises to come." As the chief designer of the 2019 Chongqing Spring Festival lighting project, Zhu Lidong has put a lot of effort into the design. "Mountains, water, cities, and forests are the distinctive highlights of Chongqing, and we have integrated these highlights into Chongqing's Spring Festival lighting
Unlike previous years' Spring Festival lighting, this year's main urban area's Spring Festival lighting adopts a unified design scheme, creating "one ring, one axis, and multiple points" and designing multiple light viewing routes. In addition, the 2019 Spring Festival lighting project has diverse expression techniques, achieving a comprehensive application of tradition, cultural creativity, and light and shadow, solving the problem of inconsistent lighting appearance day and night. Making the Spring Festival lighting "like a painting during the day and a scenery at night" has become a new "artwork" in the city.
Zhu Lidong specially introduced that this year's Spring Festival lighting incorporates many intelligent elements, showcasing the beauty of the city through techniques such as structural projection and water curtain projection. For example, the Spring Festival lighting on Zhongshan Fourth Road adopts projection lights, creating a beautiful scenery of falling flowers in spring, shade in summer, fallen leaves in autumn, and snowflakes in winter under the trees.
After the Spring Festival, many welcoming lights will be preserved Zhu Lidong said that this year's Spring Festival lighting design has reduced the scale of temporary lighting. In the Spring Festival lighting, the proportion of fixed lighting exceeds 50%, avoiding repeated investment and waste. Zhu Lidong said that this year's Spring Festival lighting design is also combined with the improvement of urban lighting quality. With the construction of welcoming spring lighting, the quality of urban lighting in Chongqing has also been further improved.
Breakthrough Track Li Ziba Station "Perspective" Light Rail Crossing Buildings
There is still a lot of room for breakthroughs in the upgrade of Chongqing night scenes, "said Zhu Lidong. Chongqing night scenes can be explored in terms of" connotation ". For example, the night scenery of Chongqing can incorporate elements such as Chongqing's cultural history, and use lighting to "tell" the story of Chongqing.
This Spring Festival, the lighting shows in Yuzhong Peninsula and Jiangbei Mouth will showcase the story of Bamanzi with lighting. After the Spring Festival, there will be many new breakthroughs in the night scenery of Chongqing. Zhu Lidong and his team are designing a lighting quality improvement project for the Liziba Station on the track. It is expected that in the first half of this year, citizens will be able to "see through" the light rail crossing the building at the Liziba Station on the track.
Zhu Lidong introduced that the exterior facade of the building where the Liziba Station is located on the track will be decorated with lights to create a lighting curtain wall. When a rail train passes through a building, the lighting curtain wall will create a scene of the train passing by, creating a perspective of the light rail passing through the building. In addition, scene lighting has been designed at the entrance of the station, and when the train enters the station, the surrounding walls of the entrance will have a lighting effect like fireworks blooming.
The lighting quality improvement project at Liziba Station on the track will also use VR technology. According to the design plan, a camera will be installed on the top of the rail train to display the situation of the train passing through the building in real time. Tourists can immerse themselves and pass through the building by scanning the QR code on their mobile phones.
Connecting the rivers, cities, and mountains of Chongqing can create a unique urban image
A few years ago, Rong Haolei once saw the night scenery of Chongqing. Last night, before boarding the Two Rivers cruise ship, he strolled along the riverbank again, focusing on the night scenery of the two rivers and four banks in Chongqing. The lighting design of Chongqing has room for improvement. Chongqing is a three-dimensional city, connected by rivers, cities, and mountains, which is very conducive to creating a unique and highly recognizable urban image, "Rong Haolei said on the Liangjiang cruise ship.
Chongqing can create a unique urban image
The early night scenery of Chongqing was the natural lights of countless households, and later it was high-rise buildings. The Yuzhong Peninsula has undergone changes, the carrier has changed, and the lighting technology has also changed. In just 30 years, the image of the city's night scenery has changed a lot, and there are also many patterns of people's night activities. "Rong Haolei said," Urban landscape lighting is not only an image display, but also a reflection of the city's economic development.
Rong Haolei said that there is still room for improvement in the current night scenery of Chongqing. He said that Chongqing is a three-dimensional city, and there are few cities like Chongqing. "From a specific perspective, you can see a very rich urban image and great depth, and the view of a plain city is limited. Chongqing is connected by rivers, cities, and mountains, and the carriers of contact are unique, which is very conducive to creating a unique and highly recognizable urban image
Urban landscape design should evoke people's emotions
Rong Haolei has worked on lighting design for the National Museum. He said that lighting design has gone through several stages, including object centered planning and design, enhancing the popularity of new urban areas, and urban renewal.
The planning and design centered around objects can express the beauty of the carrier itself, stimulate people's emotions, and drive many business operations, "joked Rong Haolei
He said that in order to enhance the popularity of the new city and new area, landscape lighting design also has a great promoting effect, such as the Qiantang New City Lighting Show in Hangzhou.
The "transformation" of old cities also uses the "magic" of lighting. Rong Haolei gave the example of Daming Lake in Jinan. The surrounding area of Daming Lake is a traditional core area, but the business operation has always been poor. After the transformation of lighting and the overall transformation of the business format, popularity has increased. The Fukuda Lantern Show in Shenzhen is the same, with a sense of ritual resonance at the scene, especially when the lights are all from Shenzhen, it resonates with everyone and really feels
Suggest Chongqing Lighting Show to do a good job in system planning
What kind of landscape lighting design is suitable for Chongqing? Rong Haolei said, "Chongqing tends to combine several aspects, from grand narrative to micro life, all-round. A three-dimensional city requires more three-dimensional lighting
Rong Haolei believes that the landscape lighting design of large cities should be systematically planned. At present, everything that can be achieved technically is achievable. Therefore, before conducting system planning, extensive research is needed to meet the different preferences of different groups in the city. At the same time, as a municipality directly under the central government, Chongqing cannot only be satisfied with internal factors, but also needs to radiate externally. It is necessary to showcase Chongqing's urban image to the world and resonate with international language
*The latter is to ensure the long-term operation of landscape lighting. He told reporters that the role of landscape lighting in empowering urban space across the country has now become prominent. "It is to revitalize the heritage given by our ancestors. The same space should not be limited to daytime use, but also use landscape lighting to increase its value at night. Lighting can switch between different scenarios and support different activities
After seeing Hongya Cave, Rong Haolei said, "The recognition is enough, but the visual tension still needs to be improved. Imagine what Hongya Cave looks like in your mind, and you can achieve it with lighting
