With the rapid development of the economy, the living standards of the people are constantly improving, and the pressures of life and work are getting bigger and bigger. In addition to intense work and study, people need a green space away from the hustle and bustle of the city to relax.

Therefore, the open garden space in the city is more and more popular. The landscape lighting design for such "urban oasis" has also been mentioned as an increasingly high position. The following are some of my experiences in garden landscape lighting design for your reference.

First, the general steps of garden landscape lighting design:

(1) Analysis of relevant information;

1. Understand the humanities and history of the city where the garden is located; examine the landscape lighting features of the surrounding gardens.

2. Understand the design orientation of the landscape architect by the landscape architect.

(2) Proposing a design concept;

1. Analyze the surrounding environment and landscape features of the garden, and summarize the elements that are useful for landscape lighting design.

2. Put forward the concept of landscape lighting design.

(iii) Conducting lighting analysis;

1. Analysis of the route of the garden, and the relationship between the visual focus of the visitors viewing the garden according to the tour line and the relationship between the landscape nodes on the tour line. (Simply introduce, the implementation of functional lighting)

2. Functional analysis of the landscape nodes, deducing the design style of each node in the park and the brightness that must be achieved when implementing landscape lighting.

3. Analysis of the main scenes. According to the analysis of the route of the garden and the functional analysis of the landscape nodes, several main viewpoints in the garden are extracted to form a large visual scene.

(iv) Deepening lighting design

In the process of deepening the design, the landscape lighting design of each scene must be closely related to the overall design concept. Under the guidance of the above landscape lighting analysis, the design should be based on the relationship between the primary and secondary of the landscape nodes, the strength of the landscape lighting, and the observed order.
