Huwei Iron Bridge

The century

-

old Huwei Iron Bridge, a historic site designated by Yunlin County, used

to be a railway track exclusive to the sugar industry. After several extensions and

changes, the scene of the mini

-

train crossing the iron

bridge is long gone. Visitors,

however, can now hang out or roam freely on the track, and the bridge is now an

iconic local tourist attraction.

The illumination environment design of the project, a nexus of horizontal space and

vertical time that work like

the bridge

’

s trusses and beams, serves to interlace

nocturnal scenes in an active way. The moving lights simulate a train crossing the

bridge, and, with lighting installations on the bridge at specific intervals, present the

gradual progression of light,

reminiscent of a train going through the tunnel of time

and approaching slowly from afar. The colors of lights are themed on the 24 solar

terms of the four seasons.

This project, in an attempt to meet the requirements of the Yunlin County

government based

on the United Nations SDGs sustainable development, constructs

an illumination environment in harmony with local natural scenery to develop a

sustainable town and promotes a sustainable local tourism industry.
