Production 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.

Design 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.

Project Duration

"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.

Operation Flow

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".

Research

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.

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.
