Analysis of 1, garden route, visitors can tour the line according to the ornamental gardens for the visual focus and the tour line of each landscape node relationship between primary and secondary. (a brief introduction, the implementation of functional lighting)

Analysis of 2, landscape node function, deduce the design style of each node and the implementation of the landscape lighting brightness must meet.

Analysis of 3, according to the analysis of the main scene, garden route analysis and landscape node function, summarize several main viewpoints in the garden, forming a large visual scene.

(four) deepening lighting design

Deepen the process of design, landscape lighting design of the scene must be closely linked to the overall design concept, in the above analysis under the guidance of landscape lighting, designed in accordance with the primary and secondary nodes of the landscape landscape lighting intensity, the observed sequence relationship.

The design performance of two different types of Landscape:

(1) architecture nightscape

Buildings are the most commonly used night lighting, lighting, contour lighting, glass lighting etc..

Floodlight facade is light (Fan Guang) a certain angle of the lamp according to the design calculation of the direct irradiation of a building, the building of night image reconstruction. The effect can not only show the whole picture of the building, but also can effectively show the shape of the building, the three-dimensional feeling, the decorative stone material and the material texture, and even the decoration detail processing.

Lighting is not simply to reproduce the image of buildings during the day, but the use of light, color and shadow means of lighting, reshaping the buildings more moving, beautiful, majestic image in the night.

Building outline lighting is the use of line source (string lights, neon lights, Meinai lamp, light pipe, LED light, surface light emitting optical fiber etc.) directly draw the outline of a building. The use of a narrow beam of light to illuminate the edge of the building can also play a role in outlining.

The lamp light in lighting is the use of indoor light or transmission device in a special location inside the building outward from the light, the formation of the lighting effect of exquisitely carved.

(two) square nightscape lighting

(four) tower landscape lighting

Usually consists of several tower base, tower, tower and other basic parts, they form a harmonious whole. The architect gives the corresponding meaning of each part in the design. They all have a corresponding role or function, from an aesthetic point of view, its aesthetic value lies in the erection of a landmark for a region. So the full lighting performance of various tower body part is very important, only the performance of a part or a whole image alienation tower will favour one more than another.

The tower lighting set to consider viewing needs. The top part is usually used for remote viewing, lighting brightness should be high; part of the tower is often carrying rich details and architectural style, should be targeted to choose lighting techniques, detailed characterization of the tower components and carving, with emphasis on lighting technique will be the main part of the tower on the outstanding performance of the tower base; is part of the lighting performance of the neighbor, is part of the integrity of the tower body to complete the image, they set the lighting to take into account people close watching the feeling, in the lighting brightness, light color, light projection direction and other aspects of the configuration, to the visual comfort as the goal. As far as the whole tower body is concerned, the illumination intensity of illumination light should be gradually increased from bottom to top, which can lead to a sense of high rise and the visual rules when people watch the scenery.

(five) overpass landscape lighting
