[introduction]

The wine and wine luminous cup, the Expo beauty drunk a few times.

If you are not in the Expo site, you will regret for life;

But if you have only been there during the day, you will regret for the rest of your life.

Because the night scene of the Expo is even more fascinating.

Recently, there is a saying on the Internet: If you have not seen the night scene of the Expo, it is not called Expo.

As night falls, the lights are on. The Expo Park under the light of the lights is like the "Luminous Cup" in the hands of the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han. It is so addictive and lingering.

According to official data, the Expo will be attended by 189 countries and 57 international organizations from around the world, with a total of 154 exhibition halls. The architectural form of each pavilion is unique and the lighting effects are also fascinating and colorful. If you stand tall, look around, the night of the Expo is more like a colorful coat, becoming the most dazzling "star" on the land of China.

So how is this giant landscape map sketched out? What kind of "light secrets" are there underneath the coat? Recently, the founder of this beautiful picture, the chief planner of the night scene lighting of Shanghai World Expo Park, the chief designer, and the professor of the School of Architecture of Tongji University, Hao Luoxi, unveiled the mystery behind the scenes of the Expo night scene and took us on a tour. Light and Shadow Expo.

Three axes to capture the beauty

"One face during the day and one face at night." The Expo Garden is more beautiful than the night. What do you think of the Expo night scene? Hao Luoxi mobilized for the audience, "you can visit the Expo night scene along three axes."

The night view of the Expo site mainly includes the Expo Axis, elevated walkway, riverside green belt, China Pavilion, theme pavilion, Expo Center, Performing Arts Center, Harmony Tower and Future Pavilion, Civilization Pavilion, important corporate pavilion, celebration plaza, main entrances and exits, and urban best practices. District, etc. The night scenes of these parks will form three major landscape axes: one is the natural landscape axis, the Huangpu River, and its open river surface naturally becomes the best place for viewing. The landscape on both sides of the river is reflected by the river and is a magnificent landscape; The second is the Expo Axis, which has the most abundant landscape axis along the Pudong Park; the third is the elevated walkway in the park, which crosses the main national pavilion of Pudong and connects several main entrances and exits, which is also one of the important landscape axes.

The audience can watch the night view of the Expo along three axes: take a ferry from Pudong to Puxi along the river. At this time, the scenery of each venue is in front of you; or look out from the 10m platform of the Expo Axis, and change the perspective to gain different scenery; or along the elevated Seeing the night view on the trail, "this is similar to the 'step-and-shift' in Chinese garden art."

One axis and four halls change

As the core area of ​​the Expo Park, “One Axis and Four Pavilions” is the focus of this lighting design.

“One Axis and Four Pavilions” refers to five landmark permanent buildings such as the World Expo Axis of the World Expo, the China National Pavilion, the Expo Theme Pavilion, the Expo Center and the Expo Cultural Center. How to achieve its overall lighting effect without losing its own characteristics? Which, among other things, the mystery of modern technology?

“The lighting of the Expo Axis is the perfect combination of lighting technology such as LED and high-efficiency light source and its architectural art.” Hao Luoxi introduced. For example, the six "drums" of the Expo Axis collect sunlight during the day and direct the light into the ground. The night lighting relies mainly on LED lights and high-pressure gas discharge lamps. The Expo Axis building itself has a unique membrane structure. Metal halide lamps are installed on the auxiliary house surface on the 10-meter platform. These lights are projected onto the membrane structure. The latter passes 80% of the reflection, and the entire Expo axis The pedestrian walkway gets enough light. At the root of the membrane structure, there is a circle of full-color LED lights. It is these LED lights that make the "beautiful" of the blossoming "trumpet" change in the night, and the LED can save 70% energy consumption compared with the traditional lighting. "Get more in one fell swoop."

Among the "One Axis and Four Pavilions", the most striking thing is the "China Red" of the China Pavilion. “The Chinese Red of the China Pavilion is actually composed of seven different red colors. The arch is composed of three reds from top to bottom, four cores are another red, and the inner side of the building is the remaining three. The composition of the red color. The color of the Chinese pavilion gradually weakens from the top to the bottom, and the lighting is therefore inconsistent according to the gradual change of the color tone. You can appreciate this magical change.” Hao Luosi explained that the lighting is undoubtedly the largest architectural beauty. "Heart".

"Net fight" Expo who is more beautiful

The Expo night scene is so beautiful, attracting countless netizens to compete.

While everyone is still hot on the Expo tour, no one expected, the Internet has already triggered a netizen competition - which national pavilion's night scene is more beautiful? Is it the China Pavilion, the UK Pavilion, the Corporate Pavilion, or other pavilions?

Photography enthusiasts and tourists from all over the country have uploaded photos of the Expo night scenes on many large domestic portals such as Sina.com, and they have launched the “Working Strong” campaign, which is very lively. A netizen named "MIKE" published a photo of the night view of the China Pavilion and said: "This is China, this is China Red. China is the hottest"; while another netizen "MONKEY" is supporting its own British Pavilion.
