2017 LIT Lighting Design Awards Professional Winner For Exterior Architecturatural Illumanation

One Excellence Qianhai Tower is an office building, and the architectural façade has a striking contrast of straightness and curve. The lighting is designed with different focuses using restrained and rational functional processing and expression techniques according to their line features, which changes vividly between light and shade.

"The tune lingers in the house just like thousands of bright pearls thread in one line". The One Excellence Qianhai Tower contains many curved cornice modelings and the middle of twin towers is also connected by curve, presenting a harmonious and stable interlace and connection. Architecture illumination captures these modeling features with emphasis on the double hall modeling canopy between two towers, to sublimate the form of cross grips to the meaning of fusion and cooperation. For lighting technique, it is not sketched by lamps’ own light, but completely hides customized lamps into texture of architecture, projecting light onto architecture surface for self-presentation streamline feeling.

Night scene is the extension of daytime life so architecture illumination shall not be like building another architecture but an extension of daytime impression. Light depiction is conducted with architecture's own positioning and environmental attributes to avoid any strained redundant element, compared with aggressive visual bombing, this design can stand the test of time better.
