Huang Huaihai, Southwest Design Institute: Architectural outdoor lighting expresses the sense of urban order

On the afternoon of December 6th, organized by Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co., Ltd., Aladdin Lighting Network hosted the "Aladdin Lamps Awards National Tour Promotion and Architectural Decoration and Light Environment Academic Exchanges - The 5th International Summit of Light & Shadow Space (Chengdu Station)" was held in the harmony hall of Sichuan Railway Hotel. Huang Huaihai, chief architect assistant of China Southwest Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., elaborated the significance of architectural lighting in architectural design from the perspective of natural light and architects' interior and exterior lighting design.

As an architect, Huang Huaihai sees light like this: “All forms, colors, and materials need light to get a reasonable expression. Everyone can imagine there is no light, and everything can't be seen.” In addition, he hopes to pass here. At the second summit, the participants shared their themes with the participants to let them know the architects' needs for "light" and how to think about "light."

The large volume of modern buildings began by designing the same theme speech to strengthen expressions. Huang Huaihai first displayed a picture of a “China Patio” with a patio in the courtyard. The picture outlines the entire space through “darkness”. In fact, in the picture is completely invisible any structure of the black part, but it can still make people feel the peace and tranquillity of the entire space and the entire courtyard. “Actually, any light is both yin and light. From this picture, we can see the relationship between light and culture. China's architecture is different from that of Western Europe, and Western European architecture emphasizes independent existence. Feelings and body mass; but the sense of space created by the space under the roof of the East is totally different from that of the West."

Huang Huaihai said that space is the way that architects express themselves. Architectural drawings and models express the existence of entities as containers of life, or as a musical instrument. Architects put different life scenes, light, and sound together. , to bring resonance, to present the spatial form, to express the architect's thoughts.

The volume of modern buildings is increasing, resulting in a lot of dark areas and dark areas; in terms of the artificial area produced, in addition to achieving a large area of ​​general lighting, it is also necessary to combine local focused lighting. Therefore, the interior lighting of buildings is also Need to meet the high density and versatility of modern architecture. “Some building interior spaces are actually very interesting. At this time, we hope that all the subjects will always strengthen the same theme, that is, express this shape. The purpose of expressing this shape is to transmit information as efficiently or accurately as possible. Huang Huaihai believes that the biggest difference between 2D and 3D is that 3D can step into the experience and mobilize all the visuals. As architectural design is also considered, the architect understands that the space is not a static entity, but the person itself, focusing on people walking What is perceived in the building.

In addition, Huang Huaihai believes that with the development of modern society, the amount of information is so abundant that it is entirely possible for architects to perceive a quiet beauty through the expression of the building itself. He hopes that the light can correctly express the building materials and texture.

Building outdoor lighting to express the sense of order presents respect to the city Speaking of outdoor lighting of buildings, Huang Huaihai said that in recent years, China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute has refocused on lighting design. “In fact, when building outdoor lighting, we can see more of its role in different urban environments. Everyone may see many iconic buildings on the road, but when they are together, they will find that there is no iconic property. We often look at foreign designs and think that foreign designs are very interesting.The West is a stable society with no lack of order. Occasionally, one or two are more interesting, whether it is in form or color design. ."

Huang Huaihai believes that China lacks order. Therefore, when designing buildings, it is necessary to clearly consider the position of each building. “For urban space, the core of the city is the street plaza between buildings and buildings. These are caused by public life. At this time, the facade of the building becomes a background and a stage, and this time needs a sense of order and interface.We hope our design is to be able to express respect for an urban environment because different urban environments have different personalities. Expressing the mission also requires different ways of lighting.” He shared the architectural lighting design case of Chengdu Finance City.

According to him, the financial city is the core of Chengdu's core area and is a landmark building. In this case, Huang Huaihai's design team chose to use simple, quiet lights to express the iconic nature of the city. “The main lighting consists of several parts, first of all the outline, which is one of the core features of the program. At the same time, a lot of LED lights are arranged on the surface and on the oval floor to show a variety of effects. To be compatible with the park, Grounded areas have similar lighting, lighting angles are relatively high, and lamps with relatively low color temperatures are used."

He stated that he hopes to build a well-thought-out expression of the architecture itself, which is actually the language that the architect hopes to pass to all participants. “We hope all participants, whether it is the builder, the consumer, the factory, First of all, we must be able to understand the meaning and mission of this design, its concept, and its theme, and then improve it through the technical means of its own discipline, to achieve the ultimate goal of the building, and to convey the message to be expressed,” he said.
