Entry DescriptionThe ancient Shu Eye in the center of the building's roof is the core of the entire building. The lighting brightness level connects the interior and extends outward from the center, blending with the scattered stars scattered on the surrounding roofs. Through dynamic control, the variable state of the nebula is simulated. The undulating and stretching roof edges illuminate the concave surface through surface light, while strengthening the roof boundary by lines at the nebula corners, making the image of the building's "nebula" more rich and three-dimensional at night.
During holidays, the building surface is endowed with an elegant, white, and clear cold light?5000K), while on weekdays, the color temperature below the closed eaves gradually warms(3000K) over time, providing a comfortable leisure place for people.
The atrium space is complex and intricate, with flying ladders, volcanic craters, and large eyelids all being large and uniquely shaped spatial structures. How to find order from them has become a challenge.To ensure the restoration of preset lighting scenes in complex three-dimensional spaces, the shape, beam angle, and optimal aiming position of lighting fixtures are determined through multi-directional lighting simulation calculations and discussions, in order to achieve perfect integration with indoor space.
Sustainability ApproachThe scattered star lights on the roof are hidden in the 20mm honeycomb aluminum panel. The size limit should be achieved by hiding the lighting fixtures during the day, and at night, the bird's-eye view should be bright enough.At the same time, it is easy to install and maintain in the later stage.Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the size, transparent materials,and installation structure of the lighting fixtures.
The "Eye of Ancient Shu" provides natural light for the atrium, but the changes in solar altitude angle at different seasons can directly affect the natural lighting indoors.By calculating the lighting conditions at different seasons, it calculates the areas that need to be supplemented with light indoors, and ultimately controls the brightness of the indoor lighting environment through dimming presets, achieving an efficient,energy-saving, and environmental concept.
