加拿大·维格广场

Lightemotion 是一家致力于增强人类体验的全球照明设计咨询公司，维格广场是一个被忽视的公共空间，将蒙特利尔的当代市中心与蒙特利尔老城区保存下来的历史联系起来。该项目是为期 8 年的当代大修的一部分，目的是将该空间恢复为绿色且无障碍的公共广场，该项目的重点是保护现有的历史古迹，并修复最初由魁北克艺术家查尔斯·道德林 (Charles Daudelin) 设计的凉棚。

Montreal, Canada, 2023-10-31 - Lightemotion, a global lighting design consultancy creating pathways to enhanced human experiences, proudly presents its enlightenment of Square Viger, a neglected public space bridging Montreal’s contemporary downtown core with the preserved history of Old Montreal. Forming part of an 8-year contemporary overhaul to restore the space as a green and accessible public square, the project anchors around the preservation of an existing historic monument, and the revival of pergolas originally designed by Quebec artist Charles Daudelin. 

顺应号召

除了恢复维格广场过去的元素外，该项目构想了注入新生活的新鲜力量，将公共空间超越现在，走向未来。在宏观层面上，这一愿景通过增加能够经受住蒙特利尔四季挑战性环境的多年生植物以及新增50多棵新树木来实现。在着手任务时，项目的景观建筑师NIPPAYSAGE从一开始就邀请Lightemotion参与，让一切变得栩栩如生起来。

Heeding the call

In addition to restoring elements of Square Viger’s past, the project envisioned the infusion of fresh new life to carry the public space beyond the present and into the future. On a macro level, that vision unfolded through the addition of abundant perennial plants able to withstand the challenging elements of Montreal’s four-seasons, as well as through the addition of more than 50 new trees. In approaching the task at hand, the project’s landscape architect, NIPPAYSAGE, brought Lightemotion in from the very beginning to bring it all to life.

除了向 Jean-Olivier Chénier 致敬的保存完好的历史纪念碑和 Daudelin 作品的混凝土拱门外，Lightemotion还有两个美丽的新喷泉要处理。在评估所有各种元素时，他们将维格广场视为一个舞台，包括艺术、纪念碑、喷泉以及周围的树木和植被等各个层面的演员。该公司决心避开包含平坦光场的解决方案，开始设计一个喜怒无常的环境，使维格广场的演员们生动起来。

In addition to the preserved historic monument paying tribute to Jean-Olivier Chénier, and the concrete arches of Daudelin’s work, Lightemotion had two beautiful new fountains to work. In assessing all of its various elements, they formed a view of Square Viger as a metaphorical stage of stages, with tiers of actors including the art, the monument, the fountains, and the surrounding landscape of trees and vegetation. Determined to steer clear of a solution comprising a flat field of light, the firm embarked on the design of a moody environment to bring Square Viger’s actors to life.

充满活力的场景

Lightemotion 的舞台照明始于对多德兰的艺术的关注，为每个混凝土板创建单独的照明。在艺术画廊照明的背景下，该公司为其注入了动感，营造出一种漫步在蜿蜒峡谷的感觉。到了晚上，由此产生的照明方案让一切变得生机勃勃，为原本无生命的物体注入气息。“多德兰的装置是广场的呼吸之肺，由光的淡入淡出定义，” Roupinian描述道。“如果你花时间坐下来享受这个空间30分钟，那么在这段时间里，灯光会发生显着的变化。”

A vibrant scenography

The illumination of Lightemotion’s stage began with a focus on Daudelin’s art, creating individual lighting for each concrete slab. In the context of art gallery lighting, the firm infused it with movement to create a sense of strolling through a meandering canyon. At night, the resulting lighting scheme brings it all to life, injecting breath into otherwise inanimate objects.“Daudelin’s installations are the breathing lungs of the Square, defined by the fading in and slowly fading out of light,” describes Roupinian. “If you take the time to sit and enjoy the space for 30 minutes, the lighting evolves significantly over that period of time.”

生活的倒影

尽管维格广场的两个新喷泉由建筑师照明，Lightemotion添加了一种象征性地代表水元素的欢快蓝光呈现。Roupinian说：“当喷泉停止工作时，水面会平静下来，形成镜子般的表面。” “蓝光为镜面增添了非常精致的背景，同时也捕捉到了道德兰作品的倒影。”

Reflections of life

While Square Viger’s two new fountains were illuminated by the builders, Lightemotion added a euphoric blue light presentation that metaphorically represents the water they contain.“When the fountains are inactive, the waters calm to a mirror-like surface,” says Roupinian. “The blue light adds a very delicate background to that mirrored surface and actually captures and frames reflections of Daudelin’s work.” 

为了继续致力于让所有演员栩栩如生，Lightemotion 为 Square Viger 的植被照明搭建了舞台。随着绿色植物遍布舞台，该公司创造了一系列在四个季节生命周期中变化的亮点和投影阴影。因此，演员们一年四季都充满活力和美丽，从盛开的夏季，到冬季光秃秃的树枝。Lightemotion 的树根动态向上照明设计在整个晚上微妙地改变强度，产生在生动的空间中移动的阴影。

In continuing the focus on bringing all of its actors to life, Lightemotion set the stage for the illumination of Square Viger’s vegetation. With greenery spread across their stage, the firm created a series of highlights and projected shadows that vary through a four-season lifecycle. As a result, the actors evolve with animation and beauty throughout the year, from the full blooms of summer, to the bare branches of winter. Lightemotion’s design of dynamic uplighting at the base of the trees subtly changes in intensity throughout the evening, creating shadows that move in and out of the living, breathing space. 

接下来，他们通过明亮而强大的侧光照明将 Jean-Olivier Chénier 的作品带入生活，为演员提供了相对应的存在感。

Next, they brought the legacy of Jean-Olivier Chénier to life with bright and powerful sidelight illumination, providing the actor with a prominent presence worthy of his stature.

Roupinian解释道：“我们相信，一个美丽的照明方案应该包含大量的小光源，这些光源会产生不同的光线层次，当你在空间中移动时，这些光线会发生变化”。“在维格广场，我们注入了建筑中有时被称为‘千层效应’的东西，即通过照明层创造出一些感性的东西，为树叶和阴影提供温柔的爱抚。”

“We believe that a beautiful lighting scheme should comprise an abundance of small light sources that create different layers of light that change as you move through a space,” explains Roupinian. “With Square Viger, we infused what is sometimes referred to in architecture as the ‘millefeuilles effect’, where we endeavored to create something sensual through lighting layers that provide a gentle caress to the leaves and shadows.” 

幕后技术

维格广场的每个照明元素都像一支具有多种色调的画笔，在 DMX 系统上的调光器的控制下，随着时间循环同步变化，在整个晚上变得栩栩如生。整个晚上都会发生微妙的变化，仿佛在呼吸，加强，然后变柔。

Backstage technology Every lighting element of Square Viger is like a paint brush with a variety of hues, brought to life with time loops synchronized to evolve throughout the night under the control of dimmers on a DMX system. Subtle changes occur throughout the evening, as if breathing, intensifying, and then softening. 

Roupinian说：“设计动态照明方案的一个关键方面是清楚地了解主体及其重要性”。“从技术上讲，当你点亮像这样的元素时，一棵树、一条循环路径和一件艺术品都需要不同的色温和强度。”

“A key aspect of designing dynamic lighting schemes is to clearly understand the subjects and their materiality,” says Roupinian. “Technically, when you light up elements like this, a tree, a circulation path, and a work of art each require different colour temperatures and intensities.” 

在支撑Lightemotion照明方案的创新技术元素中，高耸的针状灯杆通过不同角度的小孔投射非常精准的光束。较为紧凑的光束在每个目标元素上产生强调作用，散发出光源，最大程度地减少了眩光和干扰，确保投射和吸收的是光的情感，而不是装置本身。这种隐藏装置的主题延伸到Daudelin的艺术作品，隐藏在混凝土凹槽中的小装置产生的洗墙光。精致的底部照明从地面嵌入的位置照亮树木，不会显得过于突出，但为每个“演员”提供了存在感和活力。同样的理念也适用于广场上的植物容器，其光滑的岩石边缘设计提供给使用者诱人的座位机会。除了调节光线以营造舒适氛围外，Lightemotion的方案还在公共领域内创建了增强的导向体验。

Among the innovative technical elements powering Lightemotion’s lighting schemes, tall-standing needle poles project very precise beams of light through small apertures of varying degrees. The tighter beams create accents on each of the targeted elements, emitting light sources that create minimum glare and disturbance to ensure that what is projected and absorbed is the emotion of the light, and not the apparatus. That theme of concealed apparatus extends to the Daudelin pieces, with a wall wash of light generated by small fixtures concealed in their concrete grooves. Delicate uplighting illuminates the trees from embedded positions in the ground that are not overly present, but which provide each of the actors with presence and dynamism. The same concept applies to the Square’s vegetation pods, with their smooth rock borders designed to provide users with inviting seating opportunities. In addition to modulating light designed to set a comforting mood, Lightemotion’s scheme also creates enhanced wayfinding within the public realm.

复兴之光

维格广场的集体照明还为周围的建筑物提供了舒缓的空中呈现，Lightemotion成功地在长期缺乏此类元素的区域创造了美丽的视觉标志。从地面层次来看，该公司的创新方案通过灯光和阴影的交错吸引并欢迎游客，用户可以通过广场的不同入口角度从多种视角欣赏。维格广场如今是蒙特利尔夜空中的一处显眼的新存在，为人们提供了一个宁静的公共空间，人们可以在一个永恒设计中聚集和反思，这个设计将在未来的许多年里发挥重要作用。

A beacon of rejuvenation

With the collective lighting of Square Viger also providing surrounding buildings with a soothing aerial presentation, Lightemotion has succeeded in creating a beautiful visual signature in an area that has long been devoid of such elements. From the ground level, the firm’s innovative schemes entice and welcome visitors with their plays of light and shadows, viewed by users through a variety of perspectives from the Square’s different entry angles. Square Viger is now a prominent new presence in Montreal’s night sky, infusing life and love into a peaceful public space where people can gather and reflect within a timeless design that will be relevant for many years to come.
