LIGHT a ZUMTOBEL RLight for fagades and architecturePeople find the nightscapes around them created by illuminated building facades. These facades facilitate orientation, convey messages, communicate emotions and create attention. Contemporary lighting solutions for building fagades need to create added value for local authorities or have architectural or economic merit by making a location more beautiful and safer, showing a building off in the right light or getting a positive corporate image across. Achieving this demands great aesthetic design sensibility. Nowadays, however, lighting solutions also need to be sustainable, save resources and prevent unnecessary light pollution. Zumtobel is able to reconcile all these factors - with a range of luminaires that are specially adapted to cope with demanding lighting tasks. Zumtobel lighting solutions shape a bullding’s architecture and accentuate detalls in a multifaceted manner by directing light very precisely. These luminaires also cut energy consumption thanks to the use of efficient high- power LEDs. This enables Zumtobel to strike a balance between cultural aspirations and the need to use resources responsibly. Intelligent lighting control systems sup- plement lighting, turning it into a complete solution that meets any requirements - from discreetly illuminated memorials through to fagades that carry media messages.

Because of architectural, societal and technological changes, lighting design faces new challenges. Saving energy Is an omnipresent challenge, fagade lighting must therefore get to grips with ecological compatibility issues. All lighting entails increased expenditure on energy. Light that is not properly directed onto a facade is perceived as distracting and an unnecessary waste of light. Together with the Bauhausuniversitat in Weimar, Zumtobel is striving for optimisation of architectural lighting solutions in urban settings. The ultimate goal is obtaining the best possible efficiency from prestigious lighting. Viewed ftom @ technical perspective in present-day systems the ‘way that light © cirected has a erucal impact an the ecological po formance of facade ligtin.

Poorly planned fagade lighting is becoming an increasingly serious problem that affects the aesthetic appearance of nocturnal landscapes as well as creatures that are active at night, such as insects and migrating birds. Large portions of the deployed light often miss the fagade in question and the luminance levels used are often considerably higher than neces- sary.”There are two aspects to fagade lighting: enhances the cutua value and attractiveness ofa town — but consumes energy and tends to produce unnaccteary night-ime brightness Intetigat fighting solutions are needed in rd to reconcile these conficting effects.

The controllability of the brightness and light colour of LED light sources, together with their diverse optical characteristics, are making innovative technical lighting solutions possible. For example, facade lighting can be realised from inside a bullding thanks to the compact dimensions of LEDs. Rather than flooding fagades with light, it is now possible to integrate light sources into the architecture. Finally, the low energy consumption of LED light sources chimes with the widely discussed topic of how to save energy.”Architectural light Emphasising architecture +The right colour temperature underscores materials and character + Uniform, vertical lighting emphasises the surfaces of a facade without altering the architecture + Precise accent lighting picks out distinctive architectural features (Our environments shaped by buildings.

Light itself has a spatial aspect and fills space. The visibility of light is bound up in an object which itself only becomes visible thanks to the light that impinges on it. Tactility and visibility are linked together in a bewildering way, so that the medium of vision itself remains largely invisible, usually functioning like an exten- sion of the sense of sight, the eye — like a sense of touch operating at a distance.”‘The purpose of lighting scenarios isnot alays to empnasce or embelish achtecture, Many architects want to deliberately give thair structures a complotaly trash night-time look Emotional lighting replaces classic accenting and plays with bold colours.

Inno- vative media fagades, used as an element that reflects identity, reference a place and the people who live there ~ thereby making it stand out from the crowd. The lighting designer's task is to critically integrate this sensitive interrelationship into a lighting concept. Operators, inhabitants and the town itself will reap equal benefit from this in the long term.Communicative lighting Communicating brands + Light gives the corporate design of a brand a grester long: reach effect + Colour, direction and intonsity of ight mako the character and positioning of a brand visible, even at night + Facade lighting brings added prestige ting nas ras attention and conveys information ofa kinds int the ba gain, Unique content, sush as images or tt, ae Information.
