Entry DescriptionQiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, and the refined charm of scholars permeates its streets and alleys. The place of abode yearns for the elegant environment where "it is better to have no meat than no bamboo." The lighting design uses light as ink and shadow to depict bamboo, infusing the refined sentiments of scholars into the architectural night view. With the core concept of "Ink and Wash Jiangnan, Light and Shadow of the East", traditional Chinese classical elements such as the hazy artistic conception of ink and wash painting, the poetic rhythm of swaying bamboo shadows, the three-dimensional outline of layered sailboats, and the flowing texture are ingeniously integrated into the overall lighting design. Through the artistic interpretation of light and shadow, the elegance and quality of modern Eastern aesthetics are outlined.

The leading light and shadow art presentation and intelligent control technology create a regional benchmark night view.
Sustainability Approach"This lighting system mainly relies on indirect lighting, avoiding the pollution of the environment caused by direct light. At the same time, complete disassembly and maintenance space is reserved for the installation and maintenance of lighting system fixtures, ensuring the feasibility of later maintenance and inspection.
All the lighting fixtures and light sources used in this project are LED light sources with high luminous efficiency, long lifespan and low power consumption, which can reduce future maintenance costs and improve the cost performance of the system.
Time period control is divided into sunset mode, normal mode, highlight mode and sleep mode, which can meet the need to switch scenes according to the season and the time of sunrise and sunset every day, reasonably control the on and off time periods of each lamp, effectively control energy waste while ensuring the effect
