Xie Maotang: The combination of energy saving and environmental protection and practical art in hotel lighting
Building a hotel, lighting design is a very important factor. For hotels that do not have professional lighting design, it is impossible to have a unique atmosphere in the hotel, and it is not even possible to obtain good economic benefits. Hotel lighting design should fully mobilize all the characteristics of light, combined with the hotel's various functions and hotel design concepts, to create an ideal world of light, an art world, to achieve comfort, artistic, unity, security design effects . In recent years, China's hotel industry has developed rapidly and made great progress. However, in the process of time precipitation, there have also been many gaps in design with foreign countries. In response to the current status of China's hotel lighting industry, Aladdin Lighting Network reporter interviewed Mr. Xie Maotang, President of CLDA. As a veteran of the hotel lighting industry, Mr. Xie has his own unique perspective. All the way to the road, the word beads, every sentence shows the true meaning of design.
The shaping of the hotel lighting space environment
In the hotel lighting, each space has its own different characteristics. Lighting is no longer the protagonist of lighting design. At the visual performance level, the brightness and glare control of the light should be considered. Through reasonable selection of light sources and lighting fixtures, according to the different characteristics of each functional area, the color of the light source is complemented by suitable lamps.
The main task of lighting designers is to have a certain conceptual idea, and a large part of it must respect the ideas of space designers. Space designers include architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and how he can achieve the ideas he wants, his effects, may not know how to lay, and lighting designers are the best partners. Don't change the original thing because you need an effect. Every hotel has its own characteristics. Apart from some basic brand hotels, he has a certain intrinsic style. He will ask what kind of illuminance in which space, there are very strict ways to do it. The hotel's rooms are divided into ordinary, deluxe rooms, suites, and presidential suites. This is generally a fixed model, and it uses fewer tools. Because it belongs to the living space, the tools are relatively fixed, entrance lights, bathroom lights, lamps, table lamps, table lamps, standing lamps, bedside lamps, etc. Additional indirect light sources can be added, which can be done according to the different needs of the designer.
Public space is another piece, walkway, hall, lobby, and other commercial space, dining, banquet halls, and other commercial facilities. Usually these three big blocks are likely to be handed over to three different designers, and different concepts need to be merged. The most important thing is to create a feeling like home, reflecting the characteristics of humanized design and achieving better lighting design effects.
The precipitation of cultural history and the development of the hotel industry
Our hotel industry started late, and there are some gaps with foreign countries. In recent years, the hotel industry has experienced explosive growth in China, including irrational development and construction, which makes the development of China's hotel industry and developed hotel industry very different. Therefore, future hotel development and construction need to pay attention to the special characteristics of the Chinese market. Sex. Most of the major problems encountered at present are evolutionary processes. Many of them are under-budgeted. There is no way to proceed according to the original design and the original effect cannot be achieved. This should be the main problem.
With the continuous development of society, these gaps are gradually shrinking. The development process of any thing is not understood from the beginning. After the observation, there will be a cottage. After the cottage, the idea will be merged, and then there will be a creative style. Now the domestic creative hotel is gradually formed, and the design level is gradually mature. I believe that in the future, our design will have its own cultural characteristics. Culture is a sediment of history. It takes time and experience. There is no way for culture to buy it with money. It is impossible to get it all at once and it takes a long time to accumulate experience. The current problem is mainly a matter of time. It's not that the ability is not strong, not the strength, but it takes time to create something new. Of course, this is not the case with the design of the hotel. The various fields include the cultural field, and its maturity takes a while. We are now slowly depreciating, slowly making some exchanges with foreign countries, and making a difference in technology.
There are many products in China, but most of them still do not do enough, and they still need to improve. Some of the larger manufacturers in China have already started to do it, and they have really invested money in research and development. They have some innovative things to do, not just imitation. Some time ago, I also visited some decorative lamps, and I feel that many manufacturers have already started doing it, Kaiyuan, Shengqiu, etc. They all have their own design department. Many designers used to follow the pictures, but now they can slowly develop, improve, and communicate with the outside designers to improve their abilities. Having said that, I still have to return to time. After the accumulation of time and the precipitation of culture, we will continue to achieve our goals.
Before Edison invented the light bulb in 1897, Rome and Venice had already done these work. At that time, there were only lanterns and candles in China, so these could not be too strong to say the gap. Although we have made many leap-forward advances in technology over the past two decades, it will take some time in this regard. There must be patience, consciousness, and everyone to do together. There is nothing wrong with it.
Learn to evolve and develop our resort hotels. In this regard, our gap with foreign countries exists. In fact, this is an evolutionary process. If you use some foreign experience, basically these foreign resort hotels and these designers also learn from each other. For example, American designers used to match European designers in the early days. After years of experience, they become their own family, so I highly recommend that we cooperate more with foreign designers. Maybe the initial work will be very hard, the way of working, the communication of language will be hard, but without such tempering. It is impossible to self-extension a system. If you don't do such a combination and evolution, it will take a lot of time. In foreign countries, South Korea, Japan, and Thailand have done very successful resorts. In the early days, they have cooperated with many designers in Europe for more than ten years. They also Into the brand, absorbing foreign technology, the process of introduction, slowly evolved. Hotels like Thailand are very famous. Very top-level, they all learn by themselves, extend their own style, and create their own brands. Many domestic companies will try, but there are more names, and it takes time to implement them.
The return of the cultural spirit of the resort
With the development of the economy, the future will be very good. There is no doubt that not only in Hainan Island, but also in all parts of the country. Holiday businesses, business opportunities for travel, are valued by local governments. You have to go to play, there is no good place to live, this will basically be restricted, a good hotel is also a landscape, the most important thing is to provide a more comfortable hotel, this is a development trend, this aspect still depends on the development of Europe and the United States Experience, these are still quite new to the domestic industry. In terms of economic trends, it is only this domestic market that has such a market mechanism and environment and climate to do this kind of thing. It is because of this that if you don't take advantage of foreign experience, it is a pity. It is not that we go to worship foreigners, and to use others' experience for our own use. It can be carried forward even more. In fact, it is a right way.
High-end performance is not necessary. The most important thing for a resort is the embodiment of culture. If there is no cultural embodiment, the resort has no use at all. The most important thing is an environment, atmosphere, and future culture is a very important industry, not high-end. Because of the high-end nature, there is some conflict between culture and science in a certain sense. You can't build a TV tower in the Zhangjiajie area, so people's feelings in the heart are a big blow. The high-rise buildings moved to the ancient town of Fenghuang, which is too abrupt. No need to use high-end performance, the general resort hotel is casual, and even some resort-style hotels do not even have computers, business centers can have, rooms do not appear. After all, it can return to the spirit of the people. The things on the job appear to be resort-type, and it is difficult to be strong.
Think of the work as your own child
Our current society can be said to be a fast-food economy and culture in operation. Many people do not conduct in-depth research and try to achieve short-term benefits, which directly affects culture and art. For designers, design works are an artistic expression. As long as you feel the art with your heart, each piece is the best embodiment of labor results. Just like the dishes made by the chef, the crops of the farmers, the clothes stitched by the sewing workers, etc., they are full of the hard work of the laborers.
Although the design work is a designer's child, it takes a lot of effort to create. However, this child also relies on the financial support and recognition of the owner. Therefore, in addition to relying on the excellent foundation that the designer gives innately, the child must rely on the owner to give the child care and love. If the design works are the children of the designer, as parents have to love their children, then the efforts and cooperation of the owners are similar to the children's own efforts. In fact, we have a feeling of every hotel, we must do it with great care, as a child. Because every hotel has its own characteristics, it is impossible to do it according to the book.
This project of Xi'an Chang'an Castle Hotel is very deep. Because the time is very fast, the whole building is Chinese-style, just like a castle. However, the owner hopes that the westernized style will be built inside, and it will not be too westernized. It takes a lot of time to think about it in many details, and the effect is very good. If you want to say which project is better, it is always difficult to answer this question. The process of the project has a lot of ups and downs, leaving a lot of unforgettable stories. In order to make this child outstanding, in addition to his continuous hard work, it is also the cooperation issue. In the future hotel lighting design, lighting designers and interior designers need to adapt to each other and trust each other.
No one can replace your life, no one can replace you for success! The world thing: no matter how to do things, only honesty and stability. However, honesty is easy and stable. To be honest, everything needs to flow out of the chest and act according to the rules; if it is stable, it involves design skills and cannot be reached at a glance. Only by continuous efforts and progress can we succeed and become the best in the industry. Be a windward eagle and spread its wings!
