World Expo Taiwan Pavilion lighting project case

1 Introduction

Energy conservation and carbon reduction seem to have become a common goal of mankind in the warming of the world and the growing shortage of energy. Who can fully utilize the cheap, reliable and inexhaustible renewable energy, who can survive the future energy crisis. In the lighting design, in response to the trend of energy saving and carbon reduction, energy saving, high luminous efficiency, environmental protection and long life have become the most important demands outside the lighting effect. LED light source has become one of the most popular light source types because of the above conditions, but LED still has many defects, such as higher price, lower color rendering, high power heat dissipation, single brightness, etc. .

For lighting design, how to properly use the LED lighting characteristics to make the most of it, and the appropriate combination with other light sources is a very important issue. Lighting is not “bright”. Instead, think about how to use the most suitable luminaire in the most appropriate place and think about how to balance energy, carbon, budget and final results. As the author of the book "The World Is Flat," Freiman said in his speech in Taiwan, "Taiwan has a great renewable energy, that is, the people's brain power, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit" (Ye Xiaohui, 2010). The World Expo Taiwan Pavilion, designed by the world-famous architect Li Zuyuan, is the essence of Taiwan’s brain power. It not only integrates Taiwan’s diverse vitality and industrial development achievements, but also presents it in the architectural image of the Taiwan Pavilion. What is more commendable is Taiwan. LED light source technology is also fully utilized in the Taiwan Pavilion.

Therefore, with the case study of the 2010 World Expo-Taiwan Pavilion lighting design, the lighting design surface cuts into the topic of energy saving, and actually leads you to understand the lighting design details of the entire Taiwan Pavilion, and further understand that we are in addition to the overall light effect in lighting design. Efforts to save energy and reduce carbon.

Shanghai World Expo Theme

The Expo 2010 Shanghai China, which will open on May 1, 2010 in Shanghai, China, is located between the Nanpu Bridge and the Lupu Bridge and extends along the banks of the Huangpu River.

This not only highlights the people-oriented pursuit of China's 2010 Shanghai World Expo, but also shows the attempt of China and the world to embrace.

3. Taiwan speaks to the world

Participating in the 2010 Shanghai World Expo is not only an excellent opportunity for Taiwan to speak to the world, but also an excellent stage for demonstrating Taiwan's multicultural vitality and industrial development and innovation. Therefore, the exhibition contents of the Taiwan Pavilion echo the direction of the city as the main axis of the Shanghai Expo. With the theme of "Nature, Mind, City", the modern way is used to show Taiwan's mountains, water, humanities and technology to the world.

The World Expo Taiwan Pavilion, designed by the well-known architect "The Team of Li Zuyuan Architects", also incorporates Taiwan's important elements into the development of architectural concepts with the theme "Mountain, Water, Heart, Light" as the main axis, and will be environmental protection, art and culture. The important elements of urban life are integrated into the overall design and thoughts. Taking the oriental philosophy as the main axis, the progress of Taiwan's cities is enhanced by the use of specific techniques. It also echoes the theme of this World Expo, “Better City, Better Life”. (Li Daocheng, 2009)

The building body derived from "mountain, water, heart, lamp" can be seen from the simulation effect map. The overall facade of the building is like a large sky lantern. The skylight made of light-transmissive film material is originally made of matte material, which can be converted into a transparent material after being energized. There is a large ball inside the heart of Taiwan. The heart of Taiwan is a huge sphere screen full of LEDs. Its density is eight times higher than that of the small dome. Not only can the above images be clearly seen in the distance, but also in places close to the distance. The effect can be said that Taiwan's LED high-tech ingeniously demonstrates Taiwan's culture and customs. At night, it will become the highlight and focus of the exhibition, which symbolizes the heart of Taiwan in the Shanghai World Expo.

Another calm cuboid behind the sky lantern is the image of Taiwan's famous mountain. The skyline of Taiwan's famous mountain peaks such as Yushan and Alishan is engraved on it. The architect also skillfully designed a lighting platform below the skylight, and the platform is surrounded by a pool, which not only symbolizes the geographical location of Taiwan around the sea, but also the blessing of the sky lantern rising from the water. This lighting platform will also be gathered here for the blessing ceremony at the opening. The exhibition space inside the building will also showcase Taiwan's environmental protection, art and culture. With an exhibition that is rich in Taiwan's connotation and architectural design concept, it will become an excellent base for Taiwan to shine into the world.
