Landscape and design
External lighting of the facades is used for both private possessions and for historical monuments and city buildings. But to cover private property and artistic lighting of city buildings, completely different techniques are used, which will be considered in this article.
Artistic illumination of facades of architectural monuments and other buildings carries aesthetic load. In the process of developing a project for lighting a particular object, all details are taken into account. The first step is the development of the concept of lighting, then experts carefully study whether the building will fit into the light composition surrounding its locations. The following are the places on the facade, where lighting devices will be fixed.
If we are talking about the coverage of private houses, the aesthetics here recedes into the background. The main goal of such lighting is to create good visibility in the dark.
Organizations involved in artistic illumination of buildings understand what a long and painstaking process it is. It is very important not to miss a single detail: the location of the building, features of architecture and style, for what purpose and who the building is used. The backlight of the facade of temples requires the performers more attentiveness and delicacy than, for example, the illumination of administrative buildings. It is very important that the light is distributed on the surface of the building evenly, does not distort architectural forms. Various combinations of the usual lighting techniques lead to the creation of new light effects, so professional illuminators are usually not prone to experiments, although in some situations they can make an exception. As mentioned earlier, the lighting of the facade of private construction is used to ensure the safety of the inhabitants of the house. And this means that the lighting should be located not only on the facade, but throughout the building. If a traditional pouring backlight is used to cover most city buildings, then the entire lighting system of a private house is located so that the light does not fall into the windows directly and does not prevent the inhabitants of the house from resting at night. All other points of illumination of the facades of urban and private buildings almost completely coincide.
