The street is a line to the city, but it is a side to the activities of people. Most of the facilities on the street are set up on the sidewalk according to the scale of people and the needs of activities, which are called urban 'furniture'. It probably includes: flower beds, bus stops, trash cans, street lights, traffic signal signs, seats, outdoors, artwork and street trees. On the one hand, these 'furnitures' define the pedestrian space, so that pedestrian activities avoid the interference of cars, and at the same time shape the sense of movement or retention of the pedestrian space, triggering people's static and dynamic activities of different nature.
From the perspective of landscape effects, most of these 'furnitures' have a greater impact on the urban landscape during the day, but in terms of usability, they are the main service providers for pedestrian activities at night. Daytime is the world of rationality. Who would stop and savor them in a hurry?
The planning and design of sidewalk night landscape lighting can adopt the following two basic methods:
1. Strengthen the defining factors of the space of people and vehicles at night. A more effective method is to define pedestrian and vehicular spaces with street trees; other public facilities can also be used; it is also very effective to use street lights to define pedestrian and vehicular spaces at night. But in fact, many sidewalk spaces that are satisfactory during the day are not satisfactory at night. The main problem is the lack of pedestrian street lights, which makes the sidewalks insufficiently illuminated, flower beds, seats, post boxes, garbage cans, traffic signs, etc. The facilities are submerged in darkness and forgotten by people, let alone landscape lighting. The solution is to increase sidewalk lighting.
2. Shaping the characteristics of street landscape lighting.
The main streets are connected to form a network, providing a coordinate system for people to move in the city at night. Traffic signal signs need to be designed in a unified manner, so that each street has its own characteristics and distinguishes it from other streets, and avoids the digitalization of street image. The shapes of the street lamps in the same street are the same, while the shapes of the street lamps connected to it adopt the principle of 'variation in unity'. Signs should be set up at the entrances and exits of crossroads, pedestrian overpasses, and underground crossings to attract visual attention.
Due to the relative narrowing of sidewalks in urban secondary streets, public facilities are reduced accordingly. At this time, it is mainly to meet the requirements of traffic functions, but the street lights are still based on the principle of having the characteristics of the street, with moderate brightness and can be arranged in staggered fashion.
In order to express a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, the streets in residential areas are generally rich in types of street trees and have their own characteristics in residential areas. At this time, the street lights use warm colors. The low lampposts are used at this scale to match the pedestrian space. If you have the right conditions, you can properly light the trees.
Streets with historical characteristics are generally based on pedestrians. The shape of the street lights becomes very important at this time and should match the specific atmosphere of the street. Sometimes in order to strengthen this atmosphere, the illuminance can be appropriately reduced to create a dim atmosphere in particular.
The various facilities on the pedestrian street are designed according to the scale of people, so the details are more detailed. People can easily feel it during the day, and the use of local lighting can also achieve this effect at night, and it can even satisfy people. The behavioral needs of reading books and newspapers.
