| DESIGN NAME: Light Up 13 Layer Remains PRIMARY FUNCTION: Cultural Heritage 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. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 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. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 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". PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: "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. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION 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. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 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. TAGS: Refinery, Lighting Design, Shau Nan Dong, 13-Layer Remains, Taiwan, Taipei, Chou Lien RESEARCH ABSTRACT: 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. 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. ADDED DATE: 2021-02-18 03:32:19 TEAM MEMBERS (5) : Client: Taiwan Power Company, Lighting Design: Chou Lien, Wen Ying Chu, Ping Yi Liu, Joyce Ho, Manufacturers: Luxmen Technical Lighting, Products: Grand Canyon LED Lighting Systems and Photographer: Yu Chen Cha IMAGE CREDITS: Photographer: Yu Chen Cha PATENTS/COPYRIGHTS: Taiwan Power Company Public Art |

NAME: Taiwan Power Company PROFILE: In 1888, the Qing Dynasty's governor of Taiwan, Liu Ming-chuan, founded the "Xingshi Company" in Taipei. The company supplied lighting through a small, coal- fired, steam generator. Although the firm only lasted for a month, it was the start of the electricity industry in Taiwan. During the Japanese era, a power plant was completed in Guishan in 1905. This was the beginning of hydropower generation in Taiwan. Development continued, leading to the establishment of the Taiwan Electric Power Co., Ltd. in 1919. Several major projects were completed during this period. The Sun Moon Lake hydropower project was completed and a transmission line was built in western Taiwan to connect the north of the island with the south. By 1944, the total installed power capacity of Taiwan had reached 321MW. After retrocession, the government committed itself to the further development of the electricity industry in Taiwan. During the Second World War, Taiwan's industry and infrastructure sustained serious damage. In the period immediately following the war, tremendous effort was committed to repairing and reconstructing the island's economy and infrastructural capacity. During the period, the Taipower Company was established on May 1, 1946. By 1953, the installed capacity had reached 363 MW and was composed of primarily of hydro (93.7%) and thermal (6.3%) power generation. The power system had entered a period of being "mainly based on hydro." Since 2006, international fossil fuel prices have risen rapidly. This has seriously affected the power industry. Taiwan is primarily an importer of fuel, and in order to ensure the sustainable development of its power industry, a new strategy was required. As a result, low-carbon power is being developed on the supply side, while energy conservation and electricity efficiency is being promoted on the demand side. Taiwan's electricity market has now entered a period of "energy conservation and carbon reduction." |
