"Good light will have a rhythm." Of course, all the good light has a common point: you see light, not lights.
The map of the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games has started since human history, and there will be light in some places. Light is warm and can express time and space. In a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, it must be a sea of ​​light under the night. In this bustling world, the meaning of light has long been more than just lighting, densely paved, is the layer of luxury belonging to the city.
But in addition to streetlights, signboards, and architectural highlights, the lights often play a special role in the city—where a mercury lamp shines brightly everywhere, it is calling us to gather.
It belongs to the biggest topic in 2008 and is naturally the Olympic Games. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games must be at night, and there must be fewer dazzling lights. At the opening of the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, the lights suddenly and gently gathered on the sailboat in the center of the sea in the venue, and suddenly simulated the stars, reflected on the water, and suddenly the body-building like a Greek sculpture. The person is dyed red alone - when we are intoxicated by these magnificent visual effects, the average person does not think that the lighting designer's ability is really quite good.
This year, we have to look at Beijing. One of the three lighting designers at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is Xiao Lihe, a Shanghai native, and a rare woman in the industry. Although the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is now a state secret, we can't read it, but we can ask the top Asian dance lighting designer to take us to see the spring night, the most beautiful light in Shanghai.
Xiao Lihe teaches you how to appreciate light
The best light is to see only the light, not the light
The first female student in the history of the lighting department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and a graduate student in the design department of the Yale School of Drama. Yu Qiuyu was praised as "China's first lamp mother", and many works won national and world-class lighting design awards. After entering the French architectural lighting design office. Recent works include the performance of the Venus Dance Company (she used the light to make a whole piece of amazing "Xin paper" on the stage, and Venus wore a black veil, dancing a thin, black-winged veil, and dancing in the rice paper. "On the "splashing ink"), "China made a dream of swimming in the garden." The Kunqu Opera "1699? Peach Blossom Fan" designed by her as a lighting and dancing beauty will also be staged in Shanghai. At that time, we will see the sparkling Qinhuai River on the stage. Li Xiangjun turns to a sad life, just in time. The light given by Xiao Lihe was staged. At present, the most anticipated works will be in the air at 8:00 pm in August.
Although the first one in a group of boys installed the light bulbs and gave the examiner a "light can create emotions, space and time" such an answer that they remember for many years, Xiao Lihe did not fall in love until the age of 23 - - She is in Tibet, the new sky is shining and touching. Now, she said that the light can be very sexy, and the flow of the singularity can be realized by the light she arranged. The best thing in the world is this.
In a city full of light in Shanghai, how do ordinary people appreciate the light that hits the iconic buildings in the city? Xiao Lihe’s suggestion is to find the commonality between light and music: “Good light, will play rhythm Feeling, rhythm, overall harmony." Of course, all good light has a common point: you see light, not lights. It also seems to be listening to music, and you can't hear the harsh scratches.
Still don't understand? Please see the example given by Xiao Lihe.
The most pleasant architectural light: Jinmao Building
Jinmao is one of the rare buildings in our city. Whether it is a silhouette under the blue sky or a cold reflection in the dark clouds, at night, the lights of Jinmao are cold and elegant, even if it is cloudy and heavy, and the light that diffuses out will be It is natural to turn the focus of attention to the former tallest building in Shanghai.
Xiao Lihe Comments: Jinmao's lighting is a typical "seeing the light without seeing the light." It succinctly outlines the building, but you barely notice where the light source is. And fortunately, the light is soft and even, and there is no such light setting that is common in urban buildings.
The lights on the Bund building have been modified several times and the overall effect is good now. In addition, I passed the People’s Square last time and accidentally discovered that the green light of the telecommunications building was set up very well.
The sexiest restaurant light: the third on the Bund, Jean Georges
In Shanghai, Xiao Lihe's favorite restaurants are outstanding in light efficiency. She even specializes in eating beautiful restaurants for dinner. Jean Georges on the third of the Bund, the lighting effect can be described as "sexy" in her opinion. Others such as the Huama Paradise, which is a Yunnan dish, and the coconut paradise, which is a Thai dish, have good lighting settings.
Xiao Lihe Comments: If the Chinese are not used to it, they will always feel that some restaurants are too dark. But in fact, Western-style restaurants pay attention to the bright colors of the food, and make the tableware bright and clean, so that people can have appetite when they sit down. The faces on both sides of the table are not hidden. After all, no one wants to let the opposite person see his indecent eating.
In the United States to participate in some family parties, they are also very accustomed to highlight the living room headlights during the pre-dinner cocktail party, to facilitate social networking. When it comes to eating, turn off the lights and put some candles. The so-called romantic atmosphere is like this.
The most fantastic scenery lighting: the future Zhujiajiao
When it comes to the lighting of the scenic area, it is very popular in China to add a green light next to the tree to create a stalactite cave effect like "Yao Lin Wonderland" at night. Many people think that this view is really cheesy. It is easy to see the green light bulb at a glance, and it is a bit dazzling. And there are also some people who tell jokes, regardless of day and night, the trees are also very unlucky, 24 hours of uninterrupted photosynthesis, tired and exhausted.
This way Xiao Lihe is not too much in favor. Her ideal landscape lighting should not be so bright, and it is not necessary to illuminate every tree with one eye. We saw a Zhujiajiao lighting design that she was doing. There were many scattered wooden stakes on the shore, and the fireflies were lit on the piles. The white gables of the Jiangnan dwellings may also lie in the light, so that you can see the corner of the elegant gable, but it is not very clear. In the future, walking in the night of Zhujiajiao, in addition to the lights, you can also notice the reflection of the moon in the water.
Xiao Lihe Comments: On a bright night, you will not notice the moonlight, nor will you feel that your mood is very peaceful. The city is already so bright, why is it so bright in a beautiful place?
Come and see the light of the world metropolis
New York abandoned elevated railway change park
This is an elevated railway that we often see in movies like Spider-Man, and this one is abandoned. The government's plan is to turn it into a park where pedestrians can walk or sit in the grass at night. The lights that people give to plants are very soft and even. The light source is hidden at the knee height, ensuring that people can't see the light bulb while walking or sitting on a bench. From the air, the linear light source is flowing and rhythmic, and it is quite musical.
In fact, Shanghai is a bit too bright.
In January of this year, we saw such a message: Because Shanghai was too bright, the Shanghai Observatory in Lushan had to move to Zhejiang. According to the recommendations of the International Astronomical Union, the world-class high-quality observatory should increase the background of light by less than 10%, that is, the proportion of light pollution can only be less than 20.2%. In 1998, tests on light pollution around the Shanghai Observatory's Laoshan Observatory showed that the proportion of light pollution was as high as 591%. Today, 10 years later, the situation is definitely more serious.
Chinese people always like bright light and think they have momentum. On the night of Shanghai, many buildings will be lit. If the lights in the building are too bright, then the B building thinks that it can't be Ibi, and it has to be bright. One to two, many foreigners look down on the plane and feel that Shanghai is really a particularly bright city.
But the lights are too bright, just like listening to very noisy music. It’s like dancing with rock and roll is no problem, once you listen for a few hours, you will be crazy. There are too bright lights everywhere, and you will feel that your eyes are very hard and your mood is very unstable. Especially in some bustling business districts, there are bright and colorful lights everywhere, not to mention the huge LED display screens, which never play tirelessly. In this kind of place, people are not willing to stay outside. Everyone is walking down and rushing into a commercial building or restaurant. Is this a means to promote consumption?
In Xiao Lihe's view, the light that is least suitable for standing in the city is a searchlight. I don't understand? It is the kind of "cannon lamp" swept away by the Fox Company in the 20th century. In foreign countries, such lights are generally used to attract attention. It is always the case that something happens (such as the premiere) that will be temporarily set up. But she couldn't understand why some of the buildings in Shanghai also liked to have a searchlight next to it. At night, it was swept away and it was flustered.
Glass World of Las Vegas Premium Restaurant
These glass "bubbles" hanging from this high-end restaurant in Las Vegas are not luminous in themselves. When the hidden lights are turned on, the entire restaurant is bathed in evenly soft light, while the crystal-clear glass bubbles reflect the lustrous luster, making the whole restaurant seem like a transparent world.
Amsterdam office building is in the middle of the water
The office building in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is itself home to the famous architect Steven Holl. The night lighting setting of the whole building is like a piece of art, plus the reflection effect of the water surface. It is a very good thing to work overtime even if it is overtime.
French abandoned castle at night
France, Saint-Eloi has such an abandoned castle, the roof is gone, is it a dismantling of the city's stains? But the lighting designer's approach is to pull the line on the castle, the light is the effect at night. . How? Is it like a nightly pleasing artwork?
