About Light Up 13 Layer Remains 建筑照明设计
《点亮十三层遗址》是为台湾北部一座昔日铜冶炼厂打造的公共艺术照明项目。该矿业遗址于1973年停产,其基本结构得以保存。设计选用2100K色温,以呼应建筑外壳的质感;内部的琥珀色光则重现冶炼时期炉火的意象。亮度随层级递增,由底部的1尼特提升至上层的6尼特,使各层结构层次清晰可辨。周边植被以3000K照明呈现。整个项目共安装了365台灯具,涵盖15种角度与功率规格。

- Unique Properties
- Taiwan Power Company integrated its arts and cultural assets in the "Shua Jin Jiu" area. Through art, they tried to subvert the "Shau Nan Dong Refinery" , which is classified as a pollution control site. At the same time, combining many good causes with people who care about this land and have aspirations. Also, the company has appointed international lighting masters Lien Chou along with YI.ng Lighting Design Consultants working together to launch the "13 Layer Remains" lighting project.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The luminance was devised in such a way that it went up in accord with the rise of each level. Thus the foundation of the structure was lit up with 1 Nit luminance and the higher levels with 6 Nits, presenting and highlighting the quality of "layer" . Low color temperature was employed to highlight the architectural landscape while outlining the silhouette of the refinery. We used 3000K burnishing to bring out the strength of the vegetation there. The entire project use of 15 different angles and wattage, with 365 sets of luminaire in total, in accordance with the topological features.

- Production Technology
- From the outset, we has wished to rejuvenate the site as our Mother Earth and would be all encompassing and incorporated with its neighboring villages. In view of this, 2100K color temperature was chosen to go with the outer crust of the structure. Amber light was also adopted as internal lighting for the structure to represent a setting of using fire during the refining process.
- Design Challenge
- At night, the light not only perpetuates the human spirit of the site but also awakens people's understanding of the golden age of Shau Nan Dong area; the light revitalizes the cultural artistry of the area, such as the combination of performing arts and cultural landscapes, the prototype of the 2020 Bright Sea Island Festival...etc.
- Research
- The reuse of historical architectural space is not only a direct way to involve commercial activities, but also a large-scale public art project to revitalize cultural assets and polluted land, which not only attracts people to see the magnificent nighttime beauty of the "13 Layer Remains", but also becomes a venue to nurture arts and cultural activities.
- Inspiration
- The mining site is no longer in use since 1973 due to the exhaustion of copper and gold. The basic structure is retained and it preserves the traces of mining for a hundred years. It had been sealed for over 30 years before the rejuvenation. From the outset, we has wished to rejuvenate the site as our Mother Earth and would be all-encompassing and incorporated with its neighboring villages. In view of this, 2100K color temperature was chosen to go with the outer crust of the structure.
- Project Duration
- "Light up 13 Layer Remains" Public Art Lighting Project was officially lit on the night of the Moon Festival on September 13, 2019, and 90 seconds of dynamic lighting was planned in response to the lighting ceremony. However, the lighting design team does not want the light movement changes to be meaningless. Even with dynamic lighting, they still want it to be in line with the original design concept, expressing the inclusive power of nature.
- Operation Flow
- The luminance was devised in such a way that it went up in accord with the rise of each level. Thus the foundation of the structure was lit up with 1 Nit luminance and the higher levels with 6 Nits , presenting and highlighting the quality of "layer".
