Light for façades and architecture


3/54

People find the nightscapes around them created by illuminated building façades.

These façades facilitate orientation, convey messages, communicate emotions andcreate attention. Contemporary lighting solutions for building façades need to createadded value for local authorities or have architectural or economic merit by makinga location more beautiful and safer, showing a building off in the right light or gettinga positive corporate image across. Achieving this demands great aesthetic designsensibility. Nowadays, however, lighting solutions also need to be sustainable, saveresources and prevent unnecessary light pollution. Zumtobel is able to reconcile allthese factors – with a range of luminaires that are specially adapted to cope with

demanding lighting tasks. Zumtobel lighting solutions shape a building’s architectureand accentuate details 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 aspirationsand 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 façades that carry media messages.

Zumtobel. The Light.

StudiesResults of applied research

The number of buildings that have illuminated façades is increasing sharply.

Because of architectural, societal and technological changes, lighting design facesnew challenges. Saving energy is an omnipresent challenge, façade lighting musttherefore get to grips with ecological compatibility issues. All lighting entailsincreased expenditure on energy. Light that is not properly directed onto a façadeis perceived as distracting and an unnecessary waste of light. Together with theBauhausuniversität in Weimar, Zumtobel is striving for optimisation of architecturallighting solutions in urban settings. The ultimate goal is obtaining the best possibleefficiency from prestigious lighting.

Viewed f rom a technical perspect ive, i n p resent-day systems theway that light is directed has a crucial impact on the ecological per-formance of façade lighting. Light is very often directed very impre-cisely and the use of light causes light pollution. There is, however,a better alternative than simply shining light on buildings. The calcu-lation results summarised on the right-hand page and the accompa-nying photos show the clear ecological benefit of integrated façadelighting. Façade-integrated systems are photometrically optimised

using lens technologies and covers and actually direct light ontothe surface that is to be illuminated in a targeted manner. Thismakes it possible to overcome the drawbacks of direct illumination,i.e. distracting glare in indoor spaces and wasted scattered light.Zumtobel’s lighting solutions for façades and architecture meet thehigh requirements on energy efficiency in buildings. This makesit possible, despite façade lighting’s highly creative aspirations, toreconcile façade lighting with ecological requirements.

Façade lighting as a

marketing factorSociety is in a state of change and many people are turning night into day.

They want to car ry on hav ing fun late into the evening: they seek out enter tain-ment and information and welcome surprises. Even so, safety and orientationmust be ensured despite the darkness. Façade lighting shapes the image of atownscape, attracts attention and lures in large numbers of tourists. Thisboosts revenues and enhances prestige. It also gives investors an economicincentive to gentrify real estate and upgrade property usage, thus making iteconomically more attractive. Façade lighting creates added cultural value.

Responsibility for nature,

resources and the environment Added cul tural value must be weighed aga ins t the responsib ili ty we bear i n ourday-to-day dealings with nature, resources and the environment. Improperlyused night-time lighting can have a negative impact on the environment. Suchlighting disrupts the biological processes of creatures that are sensitive to light.Stray light that shines into the sky consumes unnecessary energy and adds tolight pollution. Zumtobel takes on board these challenges and assists designersand architects in their attempts to find a balance between using light in a waythat saves resources and creating added cultural value.

“An intelligent, resource-saving combination of façade lighting meets functional and

aesthetic requirements, creates new urban spaces and lends a unique quality toarchitecture at night. Prince-Elector Carl Theodor acknowledged the merits offaçade lighting when Duesseldorf drew up a lighting master plan to mark his visitto the town in 1742. The DUS-Illuminated Civic Foundation is now tapping into thismaster plan in order to create added value for the town of Duesseldorf thanks toits nocturnal illuminations.”

Towns and mun icipal iti es use many act iv iti es to promote tourism,

make a business location attractive or establish a residential dis-trict. Illuminating façades at night is a good way of improving the at-tractiveness of a public space. More and more people are spendingtheir evening hours in towns and squares. They are looking for ex-citement, and communication plays a pivotal role.

Illuminated architecture shapes a townscape and gives it personali-ty. A pretty scene is not only a popular choice for postcards, it alsohas concrete, positive effects on the travel behaviour of tourists andinfluences commercial enterprises’ relocation decisions: an integralapproach to using lighting technology for centre-stage settings andaccent lighting and a concept which, besides historic buildings, alsoincludes shopping centres, firms and public areas produces a har-monious townscape.

Apar t f rom the street light ing which is needed to make traf fic routessafe in towns and cities, it is a lighting concept’s job to lend charac-ter to urban areas and districts when it is dark and artificial lightingis in use. Regardless of a location’s size, professional lighting archi-tecture makes the most of every district and every town.

Designers and investors recognised the huge potential of designerlight long ago and use it as a tool for improving the quality of lifeand the image of a town. Light sets houses and façades centre-stage, shows historical buildings and modern architecture off to fulleffect, emphasises natural spatial structures and brings squares,parks and green open spaces to life.

A master pla n prov ide s the sta rt ing point for any pla nning act iv it y.It acts as a guideline for lighting designers, architects, urban plan-ners, investors, city marketing and retailers. It takes into account allstakeholders and the available financing and starts with a precise

analysis of the character of a town or city. The aim is to take intoaccount important urban features, distinctive features of buildings,historically important areas as well as environmental conditions andfuture development plans.

Professional façade lighting can potentially become a landmark anda point of interest for reporters and photographers. This encourag-es tourism – and brings benefits to the economy and communities.More efficient utilisation of amenities and a growing stream of visi-tors transform the peripheral areas of a town into an attractive busi-ness location. Newly arrived firms upgrade buildings and attractemployees.

Lighting master plans lay the foundation for a harmonious town-scape. Pleasant lighting promotes a sense of identity, puts peopleat ease and encourages them to stay for a while. Incomers soonfeel at home and quickly build a relationship with their new environ-ment. A place soon becomes an attractive place to live, an attrac-tive holiday destination and an attractive business location.

“Only a few lighting designers exploit the possibility of providing aesthetically elegant,

resource-saving lighting that costs relatively little. Poorly planned façade lighting isbecoming an increasingly serious problem that affects the aesthetic appearance ofnocturnal landscapes as well as creatures that are active at night, such as insectsand migrating birds. Large portions of the deployed light often miss the façade inquestion and the luminance levels used are often considerably higher than neces-sary.”

The re are two aspects to façade light ing: i t e nhances the cul tural

value and attractiveness of a town – but it consumes energy andtends to produce unnecessary night-time brightness.

Intelligent lighting solutions are needed in order to reconcile theseconflicting effects. Designers are confronted with major challengesbecause poor designs can have a serious impact on the environ-ment and nature: the growth of plants may be altered, biodiversitysuffers, astronomical observations become problematic and humansleep-wake rhythms can be disrupted. When implementing a light-ing concept, it is therefore advisable to regard safety aspects as atop priority.

Good energy efficiency is another distinctive characteristic of pro-fessional lighting concepts. Vertical façade lighting gets noticed

from afar, making it easier for passers-by to get their bearings andmaking them feel more secure.

Façade lighting can be used in a variety of ways. Among otherthings, it is a modern tool that can be used to make a townscapeor company building more appealing. This has to be balancedagainst the ambitious energy saving targets adopted by municipali-ties and companies. Intelligent lighting solutions provide a way outof this dichotomy.

LED lighting built into a façade or mounted close to it needs rela-tively little energy to generate the required luminance levels. LEDlighting is unobtrusive and energy-efficient. LED luminaires fitted inwindow reveals consume less energy at night than a small domesticappliance, as demonstrated beautifully by the Hotel Emporio. Lightis directed onto the surfaces that are to be illuminated in a targetedmanner by optics and shutters. This prevents stray light and the as-sociated light pollution. Each light source is dimmable and control-lable. This makes it possible to set individual switch-on times and

intensities.

• LED luminaires consume little energy and are mounted in thefaçade or in the immediate vicinity of the surface that is to beilluminated

• Directing light in a targeted manner minimises stray light • Intelligent lighting control achieves maximum effect with mini-

mum energy consumption

Illuminated façades help make visitors and passers-by feel more se-cure. They are therefore an important aspect of integral lighting de-sign. Dark areas where people could hide are lit. This also mitigatesagainst vandalism.

Unlit parking spaces and company premises are really uninviting. The extent to which an ill uminated façade can improve securi ty andenhance a location’s image is clearly demonstrated by the exampleof the Spar supermarket: its vertically brightened surfaces are visi-ble from far away. This makes spatial orientation significantly easier.

Ver tic all y i lluminated sur faces are, assuming ide ntical lum inance,perceived as brighter than horizontal illumination. Thanks to pre-cisely adapted light intensity, the building blends seamlessly into itssetting. Passers-by feel more secure.

2 EmotionalEmotional lighting involves transforming architecture or using lightto shape it rather than simply embellishing it. Light patterns, struc-tures and colours inject fresh character into plain, unpretentiousarchitecture at night. Neutral objectivity is replaced by an emotion-ally perceived experience. Creative lighting elements invite the on-looker to contemplate and linger and provide an interestingly variedatmosphere.

3 CommunicativeCommunicative lighting solutions convey information that goes be-yond the mere appearance of a façade. They provide boundlessscope for presenting brands, values and messages: media contentsuch as text, images and animations can be projected onto thecontrollable LED pixels on the façade. Stage settings that use cor-porate colours create a unique brand identity. Lighting concepts likethis exploit the full potential of a society that lives at an increasinglyfast pace. They enable companies, brands and towns to communi-cate with their environment even at night.

“The revolutionary development of LEDs has opened up fresh design approaches

for façade lighting. The controllability of the brightness and light colour of LED lightsources, together with their diverse optical characteristics, are making innovativetechnical lighting solutions possible. For example, façade lighting can be realisedfrom inside a building thanks to the compact dimensions of LEDs. Rather thanflooding façades with light, it is now possible to integrate light sources into thearchitecture. Finally, the low energy consumption of LED light sources chimes withthe widely discussed topic of how to save energy.”

Our environment is shaped by buildings. It is shaped by sweeping,monotonous façades just as much as by architecturally inspiringand historically important façades. Architecture is set centre-stageby selectively illuminating individual details, shapes and structuresor by harnessing uniform, wide-area lighting. Special attention ispaid to entrances, columns or individual parts of a building. Properlighting adds symbolic value to ornaments and historic buildingsand reveals their uniqueness.

With architectural centre-stage settings, the construction style andthe lighting form a single coherent entity. The materials and coloursof a façade are therefore the decisive criteria when it comes tochoosing a light source and, especially, a light colour. If there is anyhint of architectural integrity being adulterated, the appearance of abuilding will be perceived as discordant in a day versus night com-parison or in comparison with the building’s urban setting.

• The right colour temperature underscores materials andcharacter

• Uniform, vertical lighting emphasises the surfaces of a façadewithout altering the architecture

• Precise accent lighting picks out distinctive architecturalfeatures

Daylight, with its light and shade, provides a three-dimensionalview of every building and makes structures visible. Different floors,functions, entrances and pathways are identifiable. Materials andcolours are perceived naturally and true to life.

Different rules apply at night. If characteristics, contours or struc-tures can be identified, this creates an impression of three-dimen-sionality. Artificial lighting cannot replace daylight but it does offercustomisable design possibilities. A professional lighting conceptlends a building special flair. Taking the environment of a buildinginto account as a design element in its own right results in a highdegree of naturalness.

The chal lenge is to use var ious lum ina ire s, direct ions of light andlight colours to structure a building or a street and make functionalrelationships apparent. Buildings that have special functions suchas restaurants or meeting points call for a special lighting solution.

An integral lighting concept a lso i ncludes f açades that have the irown lighting design.

• Light lines define structure and allow easier orientation • The architecture and contours of a building are visible, even

“Light is intangible, but real – it can only be seen when it is emitted or reflected

by an object. Light itself has a spatial aspect and fills space. The visibility of light isbound up in an object which itself only becomes visible thanks to the light thatimpinges on it. Tactility and visibility are linked together in a bewildering way, so thatthe 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 o f l igh ting scenari os is not always to emphas ise or

Emotional lighting replaces classic accenting and plays with boldcolours. Creative light patterns and structures breathe new person-ality into neutral buildings. They arouse attention and shape a town-scape.

Decorative lighting elements make it possible to experience andperceive buildings more intensely. Lighting solutions also have thepotential ability to forge an emotional link between architectureand onlooker.

Emotional lighting Attracting attention

There is a c lose mutual interrelationship between colour and lightand materials which can fulfil various tasks: it can simply followfunctional dictates but can also convey emotionality and aestheticappeal.

Psychologists associate specific values with some colours and col-our combinations. Colour can be used as a symbol, for instance, tomake the purpose of a building apparent even from a distance. Theidea of using cold colours to illuminate buildings on industrial and

engineering sites is a tried-and-tested option, for instance.

Coloured light is invigorating and creates an atmosphere that is es-pecially effective in emotional terms. Illuminated buildings achieveparticularly high levels of public acceptance if lighting compositionsdo not conflict with those that people are used to seeing. Colourset-ups that are familiar to us from nature are a perfect model tofollow.

In addition, coloured light has the ability to steer our gaze, andhence our perception, towards an object in a targeted manner.Matching and contrasting colours grab attention. Dynamic changesin lighting attract particularly large numbers of people. Even a re-strained colour change has a major impact, even if it is only recog-nisable in our peripheral field of vision.

• Coloured light arouses people’s emotions

• Dynamic lighting changes have a long-distance effect and lurepassers-by nearer

• Emotional lighting concepts bring architecture to life

Archi tecture that appears neut ral dur ing the day and ble nds unob-trusively into its setting can turn out to be a work of art at night.Light can envelop a structure like a second skin. If lighting units areintegrated in a façade so that they are concealed or are mountedinconspicuously away from a façade, this produces a particularlystriking surprise effect. Selectively configured light structures resultin fascinating patterns of light that can redefine a building.

A wide raf t o f design tools are ava ila ble in order to imp lement crea-tive design ideas: buildings cast shadows on walls; reflective sur-faces can be used as projectors to throw light patterns. In case ofnegative contrasts, buildings that are set against a bright surfaceare defined by their silhouette alone, and their black outlines are ar-tistically incorporated into their look.

LED technologies and lighting control systems are making lighting

ever more versatile. Media content can be played back onto lightfields. This imparts information to the onlooker that goes beyondthe appearance of the architecture. Communicative lighting con-cepts like this are deployed primarily in outdoor areas and are usedas prestige projects for towns, brands and investors.

LED pixels arranged in a grid are often invisible during the day. Onlyat night do they reveal their full capabilities: the small points of lightare individually controlled, like the pixels in a TV image. This createsimages, videos, animations or extravagant colour patterns. Dramasof light staged in corporate colours create a highly memorablebrand identity that is recognisable even from afar.

For a long time now, façade lighting has been about much morethan simply staging a building. Façade lighting arouses emotions,grabs attention and conveys information of all kinds into the bar-gain. Unique content, such as images or text, are specific ways ofimparting information. Using a specific colour that matches a com-pany’s corporate design is one subtle form of communication.Illuminating a building that is used for commercial purposes in anappropriate corporate colour makes it possible to draw conclusionsregarding who the building belongs to.

Communicative façade lighting gets noticed and draws attention toitself. Besides companies, local authorities have also discovered theadvantages of communicative lighting for marketing purposes andare using media façades as modern landmarks.

A med ia façade is in harmony with i ts set ting i f i t e mbraces both thearchitecture and people who live in its immediately adjacent space.Public acceptance is greater if a media façade is not perceived asout of place.

• Pixel-driven façades use text and images to get informationacross

• Interactive façades react to passers-by and the environment • Media façades transform a townscape and require considerable

design sensitivity

Lighting management The effectiveness of façade lighting isheavily dependent on the quality of the luminaires used and choos-ing the right lighting control system. A lighting management systemis needed if there is a requirement to do more than simply switchluminaires on and off. Dimmed luminaires open up new centre-stage setting and energy efficiency possibilities. Zumtobel lightingcontrol systems cater for a variety of lighting tasks – from simplecolour changes through to video control units.
