Entry DescriptionHow will state of the art lighting be integrated to cultural work and help passing down refined traditional heritage to new generations?
At Nasatta Cultural Park Museum, lighting has been applied as a medium to seek for an answer to this question.
From the start, a major criteria of the design is that all lighting installations needs to be well integrated to the site surroundings, cultural context, existing outdoor sculptures, landscape, trees, water and dark sky.
In 2024 Event, 24 lighting installation are designed; some of them inspired by local stories and Thai tradition such as Lady of Lotus-Born, Thai folk tales, Ramayana religion story and Yi Peng lantern festival; and some inspired by beauty of the site’s natural elements.
Some high light zones are;
“Sacred Wave” Geometric steel structure and normal LED Christmas lights are woven to create enclosed outdoor space which can collect fog on ground to knee level, illustrating heaven like cloud chamber in front of Au-Thong Buddha Art.
“Glittering Song” and “Flower Blessing”; These two zones are experimental design of mathematical kinetic lighting art. One is light balls chandelier moving in parabolic curve creating from straight lines.
“Bua Kome” depicts the story of Lady of Lotus-Born. Color changing LED balls are installed above gigantic lotus floating above water to create the form of starry light in the universe.
Sustainability ApproachAll light sources and equipment are collected and reused year after year until they are nearing the end of their lamp life.
Some partially deteriorate light fittings are disassembled and reconstructed to be a new design. This method helps the project expanding its scale from 6 lighting installations in 2018 to 24 lighting installation in 2024.
LEDs are selected as the main light source to meet energy saving goal. Dynamic Lighting control system are applied to adjust brightness to optimum level in order to extend lamp life.
Low-voltage LEDs are especially selected for visitors’ safety.
Materials such as metal and steel are reused.
This project collaborates with the client, museum staff living inside the museum field and villagers who live not farther than 10 kilometers around the site, leaving less carbon footprint.
