Lighting Design for Pingshan Creative Park of Sculpture Art

It has been ten years since the last innovation for Pingshan Creative Park of Sculpture Art back in 2011. The architect has implemented three important “blocks” for the park: creative corridor, the lighthouse, and the main venue -- the opening square. The corridor is made with 5 different construction modules by flipping and arranging together. What we are expecting is to create an unique nighttime effect at the corridor compared to its daytime effect: we make use of the creases line as to create a “folding” effect on those vertical panels. General speaking, we need to avoid this creases effect in most projects, but we use the creases line as the main feature in this corridor, we make good use of adverse factor and change it into an unique feature for this project. The lighthouse is located at the end of corridor, which is the micro architecture in the center of the park. We can use lighting to emphasize the floating effect; at the same time, the lighting can also enter into indoor area and work as the lighting for people to walk by. After switching on luminaries on the lighthouse, it brings various imaginations for visitors: it looks like a black meteorite floating in the air; it also looks like the capsule which can be landing.The opening square that locates in front of the main venue, we have placed some recessed aluminium slots to recess luminaries to bright the facade of the architecture. Therefore, we came up with a proposal that we should place recessed aluminium slots with grilles in the ground, which look like invisible aprons. We make adjustments and improvements based on architectural structure in order to present the best lighting effect. The beauty of design is not only presented on the overall view, but it is also presented at the detail. We adjust and re-design on structures for every project while it is designing or under construction. The spirit of getting deep in the project, being prospective while small details have been seen, that is what we called ourselves as “the Craftsman of Micro- Structures”.
