Ten mistakes in the development of urban lighting engineering
In recent decades, urban lighting has played an important role in beautifying and brightening the city. Neon lamp installation, acrylic production, led digital tube project and other projects have gradually become an important part of urban civilization, as well as a means of modern urban construction and display of its image. In view of the current situation of urban lighting in China, great progress has been made in the past decade, but there are still some problems, and some of them are quite serious
Myth 1: sacrifice the old city
In the conflict between the protection of ancient buildings and the development of urban lighting projects, the former is often sacrificed. The destruction of old cities has become the most short-sighted urban behavior of Chinese urban builders in the last century.
Typical: the ancient city of suzhou was damaged by the expressway passing through the city. The city was not equipped with proper lighting, so it could not be included in the world cultural heritage list. Only the gardens of suzhou were selected.
Myth 2: clone cities
Look no further than China's cities, which are becoming more and more alike: the same signage, the same road lighting, the same style as a chain store; Same garden lighting; The same flood lighting, all the high buildings and commercial streets are crowded in the downtown. The same model is not in the middle, foreign, today is not today, the effect of the ancient.
Typical: the world famous architect said, chang 'an street is very ugly, no Chinese ancient capital characteristics, style is not unified, if you do not see tiananmen square, I do not know which city's street!
Myth 3: sign mania
Taking the newest, tallest and most modern buildings as the city's landmark buildings is a big misunderstanding of China's current urban landmark buildings. Unfortunately, most of them cannot be the carriers of their history and culture. In other words, it destroys the inherent culture of the city and replaces it with new buildings. New buildings are followed by newer, larger, higher and more expensive ones, so iconic buildings are always changing. Therefore, the facade lighting also along with contend for light, make the building no new ideas, no representative.
Typical: the Oriental pearl TV tower is far less representative than the old Shanghai railway station, and is known to the world.
Myth four, not good at refinement
Urban lighting designers are not interested in "little things" with small project areas. They are only interested in big buildings with a cost of over ten million yuan, because the income is very rich. They were not good at things like the arc DE triomphe, the Parthenon, Wright's running water. They don't care how rough the lighting design is, they just want to look tall, grand and magnificent.
Typical: the lighting of Beijing Oriental plaza is abrupt in changan street, which is not in harmony with the culture of wangfujing.
Blind internationalization
With "unconventional, affectation, grandstanding, pompous", to describe the current popular blind internationalization of the city lighting style is not excessive. According to statistics, the country has nearly 100 cities called out the slogan of the establishment of an international metropolis, in fact, the international metropolis is the need for a lot of life and related lighting to achieve.
Typical: most of the lighting arranged in the residential area only pays attention to the appearance, and the actual use is not perfect. The lighting in the commercial area has the phenomenon of pursuing brightness and leading to light pollution.
Sixth, landscape architecture is absent in Chinese architecture
Landscape architecture, architecture and urban planning are indispensable in the field of architecture. It completes the integration of resources development, environmental protection, pollution prevention and control with public behavior, environmental image and spiritual civilization. Therefore, the absence of landscape architecture in China's architectural field makes it difficult to improve the current situation of urban lighting in China.
Typical: cement forest stands up everywhere, comprehensive design level is poor, overall planning and construction is not yet done, let alone garden lighting design.
Myth 7, unique limelight
Lighting design is always a kind of overall harmony. Today, China's urban lighting is only concerned with how to surprise the individual, constitute the city as a whole lighting like fashion shows, each shows his talent.
Typical: what other city squares and sculptures can represent the style of the city and establish their own unique style of the city?
Ignoring the urban landscape
In the central area of the city, roads are squeezed and narrowed by buildings. In addition, there are too many people and cars, and the division of urban functional areas is not clear. Therefore, urban lighting only blindly plans and builds around the city center.
Myth nine, "false" landscape when the road
In recent years, the country is filled with a wave of artificial landscape heat, antique buildings around the construction, at the cost of destroying urban ecology, the prevalence of this "fake" landscape also makes "fake lighting" rise.
Typical: there is such a big temple in the hinterland of jiuzhaigou scenic area, lighting is incompatible with the green mountains and rivers.
Mistake ten, face project
Developers have built "city squares" with concrete forests and "garden villas" without gardens. Plant grass does not plant tree this kind of short and smooth "face project", just pile up alleged village characteristic illume, cannot achieve human settlement requirement at all.
