Who will give the "soul" of lighting?

Lighting has evolved from the general application of the original bulb to the scientific application of scale, system, integration and intelligence; the function of modern lighting is more and more powerful, more and more social, and inseparable from people's social life and economic development. Has become a very important civilian production industry. The influence of lighting on social life has never been indispensable as it is now, and has become a symbol of social prosperity and progress. However, in order to achieve sustainable development, the modern lighting industry must establish a scientific development concept and shape the "soul" of lighting.

First, what is the "soul" of lighting?

No matter how the lighting appliances and lighting technology develops, or develop to a higher level of intelligence, its fundamental purpose is only one: to illuminate the space of life and work. This determines that the soul of lighting must serve "people."

Yao Mengming, a senior designer in the lighting industry, has a wonderful interpretation: “People-oriented, smart interconnection and sustainable development have become the future of global and Chinese lighting design. The light environment has become an important factor in the city's livability, we need to use better Lighting design creates a better life."

People-oriented, creating a healthy light environment is the "soul" of lighting.

However, in the large-scale lighting projects such as the halls and halls that we can see everywhere, there are a lot of lack of souls and lack of humanized lighting. For example, in recent years, some places have been pursuing "brightness" excessively, which has become a common problem in some lighting projects. The result will inevitably affect people's lives to varying degrees, affect the rhythms of animals and plants in nature, or waste public resources such as electricity. Such lighting is also bound to face elimination or update!

Second, who will give the "soul" of lighting?

Who will give the "soul" of lighting? This is undoubtedly the responsibility of lighting designers to think and shoulder. It can be said that the mission is glorious and the task is arduous.

Why is this proposition raised? Because there are many theoretical and practical problems in China's lighting design. If the lighting design is not harmonious with the environment, the lighting is too bright and becomes a source of light pollution; the lighting designer's own professional and artistic accomplishment is lacking, and it is not suitable for design; some designers are confused by the owners, reluctantly change the original intention of the design, and even give up the original design. Accepting so-called instructive design solutions; changing ideas because of business, budget, etc., design concepts are unclear or difficult to embody in lighting design, and so on. There are many reasons for these problems, such as the uneven level of designers, the contradiction between designers and owners, the horizontal intervention from different aspects, the unfair competition of peers, and the ambiguity of theory. In the end, it is caused by the different perceptions of the social function of lighting engineering or lighting decoration engineering and the level of demand.

How to make China's lighting project, or lighting decoration project, from design, construction to management to a new level and a new realm, giving the soul a "soul" for its scientific and sustainable development. This is the expectation of society. Trends in lighting technology and application development.

Philips Lighting, which is committed to deepening its efforts in the Chinese mainland market, has been working hard on lighting engineering design and lighting designer development, highlighting its far-reaching strategic decisions.

In fact, as early as April 2013, Philips Lighting created the “Essence of Designers Growth Plan”, which is a cross-professional international exchange platform that Philips Lighting has built in recent years. It is a useful attempt to bring together a new generation of design elites. . On June 6 this year, Philips Lighting launched the 2017 “Essence of Designer Growth Plan” in Shanghai. In the 2017 plan, Philips Lighting aims to create a designer knowledge sharing platform to enhance the development of indoor and outdoor lighting design in China. This year, Philips Lighting will focus on a series of activities that stimulate cross-border innovation and sustainable design thinking, with the aim of reshaping the city with lighting to create a harmonious symbiosis with the environment, health and nature, and the city and the future.

On June 6, Philips Lighting launched the 2017 “Elite Designer Growth Plan” in Shanghai

In the past few years, China's lighting industry is in a period of transition, with listed companies increasing, corporate strength increasing, and merger and integration capabilities unprecedentedly strong. Large companies such as Philips, Osram, and General Lighting in the United States have adjusted the company's industrial layout and structure, basically withdrawing from the manufacturing industry and even part of the research and development field, retaining brands and channels, in order to lightly play and share a bigger market cake.

In this process, regardless of the mode of adoption or innovation, the lighting designer plays a role in the integration, coordination and “direct access” of the market between the user and the product, just like the volleyball player and the second setter. It is the core of creating value and realizing value. It is in the pivotal position of inheriting the past and opening up and innovating. Highlight the "unique" status and role of lighting designers.

It is based on the unique role of lighting designers. Philips Lighting's “Essence of Designers Growth Plan” in 2017, with the theme of “Rising and Flying Over”, continue to strengthen the concept of “knowledge sharing” and create online “Philips Lighting Excellence”. The Designer Academy is a multi-functional network platform for growing young designers to gather and learn. At the same time, the rich offline activities throughout the year: "Plan" will invite designers to participate in the International Lighting Designers Association (IALD) Greater China Summit; face-to-face communication with lighting, construction and real estate companies; visit Philips Lighting Chengdu Lighting application centers, etc., continue to learn and improve in a variety of forms, sustainable development, self-breakthrough. It is conceivable that what kind of creativity will be created by the designers of the Philips Lighting Elite Program will bring shock waves to China's lighting design field!

Yao Mengming said, "As a lighting industry expert with more than 125 years of innovation history, Philips Lighting will practice a strong sense of mission to promote the development of China's lighting design business, and work together with domestic and international industry elites to create a communication and communication for China's elite designers. A platform for learning from each other. This platform is not only a one-way knowledge dissemination, but also a two-way interactive promotion, the true value of the practice light."

The concept of Philips' “Elite Designer Growth Plan” series represents the development trend of modern lighting, and will have a unique and important impact on the lighting design concept and lighting design level in mainland China.

Third, what is the soul of Chinese lighting design?

The specialization of lighting engineering design in China originated from the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Before 1998, there were almost no professional lighting designers. The lighting design work was done by building electrical engineers. In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places began to implement landscape lighting projects, lighting designers from scratch, can be said to come into being.

The development of lighting "lighting" projects across China is like a night of spring blossoms, building lighting, garden lighting, ancient building lighting, bridge lighting, commercial street lighting, riverbank lighting and large music lighting fountains, etc. Dazzling. Especially in China, lighting engineering has developed at an alarming rate in the past decade, and lighting designers have become an important field in the lighting industry.

A large number of urban “lighting” projects, government projects, etc. have spawned the lighting industry, especially in 2007, the China National Light Industry Association set up lighting designer professional work, since 2008, China Lighting Association in China Light Industry Federation Under the authorization and guidance, the lighting designer's training and certification work was carried out nationwide, enabling lighting designers to quickly form a professional group in China, which will continuously improve the level of night lighting decoration in China. It is reported that at present, there are 843 senior lighting designers and 1,750 middle-level lighting designers who have received training in mainland China. They have become the backbone of Chinese lighting design.

A number of international lighting designers with high levels have emerged in the lighting market environment with Chinese characteristics. More and more lighting engineering design and designers have won domestic and international awards. In 2009, Zheng Jianwei's architectural lighting work “Beijing Olympic Park Sinking Garden No. 7 Courtyard” won the world's only highest award for the night lighting design by the North American Lighting Society (IES) – Paul Water Bayley Award, which made him the first to win. Chinese lighting designer for the world-class lighting design award. In 2014, Zheng Jianwei's work “Wuhan Han Street Wanda Plaza” was awarded the Excellence Award by the International Lighting Designers Association IALD, which is known as the Oscar of the lighting industry. In May 2016, Xu Dongliang's lighting works, lighting design of Harbin Grand Theatre in China, won the 34th IALD International Lighting Design Award - Guanghui Award. There are also many excellent lighting designs awarded by the China Lighting Society for the China Lighting Industry National Professional Award - Zhongzhao Lighting Award. It shows that Chinese lighting designers have made great progress in their ideas and practices.

China's modern lighting industry is in a period of transformation and development. The shape of the market has changed, and the team of designers is also winning the fittest. At the same time, the requirements for lighting quality in large venues are getting higher and higher, and lighting is entering scale, integration and intelligent control. stage. The concept of energy saving and environmental protection sustainable development also puts new demands on lighting designers.

Just knowing lighting appliances, knowing that general lighting technology is far from enough. Not only must you understand different styles, characteristics and trends, but also know how to control intelligently and understand regional culture. China's One Belt One Road strategy has also pushed lighting designers to the international market.

Senior lighting designer Xu Dongliang believes that to become a true lighting designer, we must first have the literacy as a designer, to understand the environment, understand the architecture and indoor and outdoor space, and master the spatial composition and material performance characteristics. Thereby the carrier and space are properly represented by light. Therefore, people who have studied professionally in architecture, urban design, environmental art, interior design, industrial design, etc. are more basic. How to transfer the appropriate light through proper appliance control at the right time and in the right place to achieve a certain functional or landscape purpose, here is a multi-faceted knowledge. Such as optical knowledge, knowledge of light control direction, knowledge of electrical control principles, etc., these are the basic conditions that should be provided as lighting designers.

When the famous lighting designer Zheng Jianwei talked about the design style, he believed that blindly worshiping Western design and simply emphasizing Chinese elements were unconfident expressions. He has been trying to use the wisdom and aesthetics of the East in his own projects to seek a harmonious symbiosis with modern technology and Western design.

It is understood that some lighting designers have proposed the concept of subtraction according to the trend of lighting design development, but more designers are still doing addition. The designer's philosophy, the overall quality, determines the lighting level of a region or even a country. Under the guidance of energy conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development, lighting designers will assume more social responsibilities and obligations.

Fourth, the fusion of the soul of the lighting

Under the background of the Internet era, under the guidance of the green development concept, the manufacturing and application methods of Chinese lighting products are undergoing changes. Lighting designers have gradually become the protagonists in this revolution. The “soul” of lighting design comes from the designer's philosophy and experience, and the lighting designer plays a decisive role in the future lighting project.

The Philips elite designer program has a good reference for the improvement of the overall quality of Chinese lighting designers. Philips Lighting has international and strong training resources in lighting product design and lighting engineering design. It can share resources with lighting designers in mainland China, improve design level, win-win cooperation, and jointly develop international lighting design masters. Training. If a large number of designers with green development concepts, mastering interoperability and intelligent lighting technology are active in major lighting projects, they can actively promote the sustainable development of the global lighting industry.
