Beijing Satellite Factory Lighting design
Created on 2024.04.01
On April 24, 1970, China successfully launched its first artificial Earth satellite "Dongfanghong-1", marking the beginning of Chinese exploration into the mysteries of the universe and peaceful utilization of space for the benefit of mankind. Due to its rich cultural heritage in space industry and history, certain equipment and facilities at Beijing Satellite Factory have been included in the national industrial heritage list.
Walking into the Beijing Satellite Factory Science Park, one can see aerospace elements scattered everywhere, evoking memories of the past glory and mission that once resided here, with the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite 1:1 scale model standing proudly at the end of the Avenue of Merit.
During the design process, we thoroughly examined the evolution of the site in response to changing times and seized the opportunity presented by renovating the old building to seamlessly integrate it into the historical context of the space, ultimately giving birth to a novel park. It is imperative that we uphold and carry forward our rich heritage while actively shaping a new urban character.
The lighting design commences with comprehensive planning, utilizing the streamline as a guiding principle, conducting an in-depth analysis of the road system and building facade, and employing varying levels of illumination intensity, color temperature, as well as dynamic and static techniques to strategically create distinct atmospheres within different areas. Diverse lighting techniques are employed to effectively showcase the architectural form and enhance intricate details.
Light and shadow shift the white wall, follow the light night visit quiet, the art of life, often spread from the door, the entrance of Beijing Satellite Factory Science Park, the linear outline of warm light and the cool light of LOGO blend with each other, so that art and technology perfect integration.
The park landscape corridor sorted out the major events of China's satellite industry, and the lamps combined with the corridor adopted linear lights to present the history of the park.
When the night falls and the lights are first lit, walking here, we hope to present the coexistence of light and historical traces, the revelation of the spirit of the old factory, and attract the public into the unknown satellite factory through the presentation of light.
Entering the factory from the main entrance of the Gongxun Avenue, you can see the more modern transformation of the workshop No. 2, the outline of linear light enriches the architectural form of its space.
Moving along Merit Avenue, the west facade of Factory 1 and the east facade of the administration building are the main visual attractions. No. 1 workshop uses 3000K light linear lights, and the fixtures are installed on the bottom of the red brick wall, showing a sense of history.
The east facade of the administrative building mainly adopts point-like lighting techniques, selecting simple and generous circular wall sconce, which are positioned in the center of the wall, providing site environmental light and showing the architectural form.
Dongfanghong Square is the park's most popular online red card, square layout takes satellite launch time, from China's independent launch of Dongfanghong-1 in 1970 to 2021 Shenzhou-13, through the size of starlight marked on the plane timeline, and can be engraved with its history.
Then it enters Yunxing Avenue. The south facade of No. 1 workshop and the north facade of No. 2 workshop are the main building facades of Yunxing Avenue, which have strong visibility and continuity and are the focus of the overall lighting. The building has a scale that is close to people, and the lighting must be able to show the beauty of the details of the building.
The main features of the building are highlighted through the placement of emphatic lighting in specific parts of the red brick building, such as the up-down wall sconce at the entrance, and the linear light at the LOGO wall. This helps draw the eye while highlighting the historical elements and architectural sophistication.
After the renovation,
Beijing Satellite Factory Science Park is positioned as an intelligent manufacturing demonstration zone, gathering a new generation of information technology, intelligent manufacturing and high-end equipment, medicine and health, aerospace, new materials and other high-end industries, promoting regional economic development of the urban renewal benchmark project, in the lighting design, the light is embedded in the building fabric, releasing the deep cultural charm behind the satellite manufacturing industry. Activate the vitality of urban areas and the self-drive of enterprises, and create a park with historical and cultural connotations and urban vitality.
