Abstract: This paper introduces the lighting design case of No. 2 Courtyard of the Sunken Plaza in the Olympic Park. It mainly expounds the analysis of the environment and the requirements of use. It proposes to use visual perception as the starting point of design, according to the main approach, combined with the dynamic and static viewpoint to organize the lens, using simple means. In accordance with the design concept of the complex scene, and the selection of the carrier to propose lighting requirements, reasonable choice of lighting equipment and techniques.

Keywords: Olympic sinking garden lighting design visual perception

The sunken square of the Olympic Park is located in the north of the Bird's Nest (National Stadium), the narrow axis between the axis of the Olympic Center and the dragon-shaped water system, and the northern end is naturally connected with the green ecological leisure garden. The square consists of seven courtyards. The red walls that have been restructured are the elements they share, reflecting the theme of the theme – the “open forbidden city”. In addition, architects and lighting designers have considerable room to play. The ancient wood flower pavilion is one of the No. 2 hospitals.

1. Environmental analysis
Environmental analysis involves three aspects: the relationship between the bottom of the map, the way it is used, and the subject of use.

Map relationship

On a large scale, the central axis and the road form a homogeneous and distinctive lattice structure, the water system is dark, and the sinking square is a layered intermediate brightness. The central axis lighting should be carefully controlled. The illumination level difference should be avoided too much. The dark adaptation of the human eye will affect the visual experience. At the same time, the overflow light should be avoided to “wash white” the sinking garden.

Way of use

The west side of the ancient wood flower pavilion is the subway equipment room, the facade is relatively closed, and the function is mainly catering and leisure. People's activities are relatively random and uncertain, so the hospital's lighting tends to organize behavior, not just service behavior.

The behavior will change with the season and time period, and different scenes should be set to adapt to it.

Use subject

The users of the sinking square include the citizens and domestic and foreign tourists. Why did they come? Why stop?

At night, the ancient wood flower pavilion should be a place where vision is greater than function. Through the selective illumination of the carrier, the designer creates a unique space with a rich and rich light and shadow pattern, creating a unique appeal.
