Entry DescriptionThe architect endowed the West Bund Orbit with a unique texture of curtain wall material, complemented by this ribbon like streamlined structure, presenting a dynamic visual effect of flow. The lighting design in the 'West Bank Whirlpool Orbit' draws inspiration from the interwoven ribbons of architecture, the winding rivers of the Huangpu River, and the planets surrounding the galaxy. Creating ribbons of light, rivers of light, and flowing night sky galaxies filled with futuristic flowing light, these elements interweave together to bring visitors a continuous rotating sense of the future.The architecture is diverse, with light and shadow playing together. The freehand lighting method of precise local projection of light, combined with the characteristics of the building itself, enhances the scene. At the same time, combined with the artistic design concept of the West Bank's swirling orbit flow, it responds to the changes in time and the purpose of the scene, presenting a variety of cool dynamic lighting effect changes at different times, enhancing the theme and festive atmosphere of the scene, and further strengthening the flow and rhythmic beauty of the space. This building is not only a cultural symbol of the new financial center, but also one of the landmarks of Shanghai's waterfront area.
Sustainability Approach1. Circular economy and material recycling.In lighting design, a large number of recyclable materials are used, such as low-energy LED lamps and environmentally friendly lighting components, which are easy to disassemble and reuse, reducing material waste.
2. Retrofit and energy efficiency analysis.The lighting layout is optimized through parametric design to ensure that while maximizing the use of natural light, the intelligent control system can also automatically adjust the brightness and Angle of the artificial light source to reduce energy consumption.
3. Carbon footprint control and energy efficiency improvement.The lighting design takes into account the carbon footprint of the entire building life cycle, using Dialux EVO simulation and data analysis tools to track and optimize energy use, ensuring that the building's hidden carbon emissions are reduced as much as possible.
