Lighting design style of ancient buildings: combining light and dark to show historical charm

The lighting design of ancient buildings is different from the lighting of modernist buildings. Most ancient buildings use courtyards as the basic modules. For buildings composed of courtyards, the lighting mainly presents courtyards and illuminates the physical buildings. The 'virtual' courtyard, with the virtual lining the real, is the main comprehension of the lighting and lighting of ancient buildings.



Ancient buildings often use stroke lighting techniques, but the artistic aesthetic effect of such techniques is not ideal, and the hierarchical structure and details of ancient buildings are not well reflected. The use of flood lighting will be even more The effective display of the building can not only show the characteristics of the building, but also actively create an atmosphere with the characteristics of ancient buildings.

The lighting should not affect the morphological and structural characteristics of the building itself as much as possible. It should not be illuminated by lighting, and the historical and cultural heritage contained in the 'ancient' in ancient buildings should be ignored. If the color of the light is not selected properly, it will affect the whole The effect of lighting has a great impact. The lighting of ancient buildings should be suitable for viewing from a distance. This is mainly for controlling and grasping, and some use colors to search for historical legends, taste cultural charm, and feel life in the legacy of ancient buildings.



The ancient architectural lighting project is not only to trace the vicissitudes of history, but also to continue the traditional culture, how to protect it from the perspective of future development, how to extend the vitality of ancient buildings, and how to do it to respect both ancient buildings and cultural traditions , This is the key to lighting design.
