We investigated life in the city, its culture, and history (that links back to the Song dynasty) and how those are changing and coexisting with the new developments there, focusing on the evolution of lighting and how that affects the people and the building development there.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190705_202214.jpg\" alt=\"rhdr\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"caption-sm\">Chongqing\u2019s Central Area<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Chongqing is famous for its spicy hot pot. For my first visit, I set off anticipating findings that were more thrilling than the spicy peppers in their local cuisine.<\/p>\n<h3>The lives of those in Chongqing<\/h3>\n<p>Our investigation is based in Chongqing Yuzhong District. Here it is around 6 km east to west and 2km north to south and was developed as an extremely compact city, surrounded by both the Jialing and Yangtze rivers, and is almost an island. It is supported by a man-made base made using the method of Jiajiaolou and floats as if it\u2019s a mountain above the sea. Sometimes to go to the other side of the building, you have to take an elevator from underground to the 11th floor or take a detour. Chongqing is a city that is also known by the name of \u2018Mountain Castle\u2019 and because of the 3-dimensional mixing that occurs in this city, the residents\u2019 movements are also connected through their verticality, and it is interesting to see the many unique layers where people interact. During our investigation, we were not blessed by the weather and the area was brownish even during the daytime giving us a dark atmosphere. The bus also was dark without lights on during the daytime. There were also quite a few restaurants with a single LED lightbulb as their light source, or many working outside as it was brighter than indoors; it seemed that most residents have accepted this darker lighting environment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tile-30 firstcol\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190704_084719.jpg\" alt=\"rhdr\"><br \/>\nThe Brownish view in the daytime<\/div>\n<div class=\"tile-30\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_3955.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3955\"><br \/>\nThe bus lights are turned off in the daytime<\/div>\n<div class=\"tile-30\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_3956.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3956\"><br \/>\nThere were also restaurants lit with a single LED bulb<\/div>\n<hr class=\"end-tile\">\n<h3>The Lightshow as viewed from Hong Ya Dong<\/h3>\n<p>There is a famous tourist location in Chongqing City called HongYaDong. It is a collection of stores and built into a cliff and in layers as I mentioned before. The architecture is lit up in a warm color, and there were tons of tourists from before sundown, whether it was tourists interested in the architecture or the light show for the opposite side of the river. The light show\u2019s scale was on par with those in Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and utilized the facades of buildings that spanned 4 kilometers. These buildings\u2019 facades were connected to create an impactful media fa\u00e7ade creating an impressive scene representative of Chongqing City\u2019s momentum.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Photo-7A-DSC_4522-Night.jpg\" alt=\"Photo 7A - DSC_4522 - Night\"><br \/>\nPeople gathering at Hong Ya Dong excited for the light show<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Photo-3A-DSC_4470-Night.jpg\" alt=\"Photo 3A - DSC_4470 - Night\"><br \/>\nMedia Facades that are linked up for the light show<\/p>\n<h3>Activity deep into the night<\/h3>\n<div class=\"col45-right\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/6a162710f5e580032ee22f954ac6970c.jpg\" alt=\"IWA\u30b9\u30b1\u30c3\u30c1\"><\/p>\n<p>Sketches of the lighting equipment used for the terracotta roof tiles<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As the clock ticks past 11 pm, the light shows and buildings that were lit up slowly fade while the number of people gathering near the riverbanks also disperse to start gathering indoors. Perhaps it is because it was Friday, the indoor facilities were filled with people: some families coming to eat hot pot past 0 am, others laying out street stalls to sell fruit, giving me a glimpse of the long active hours of life in Chongqing.<br \/>\nAfter investigating the tourist spots, we headed to the rooftop observatory of the WFC, the tallest building in Chongqing. You could see that, at the point of the island, there was a dark patch as construction is happening on a set of 6 buildings connected by walkways that stand there. It sort of looks like the sail of a boat, and will definitely become one of the buildings to represent Chongqing when it is finished. The nightscape mainly consisted of crowns, riverbanks, bridge support beams, and roofs, giving the impression that the lighting techniques used here are all emphasizing the outlines. After that, we explored the central area of Jie Fang Bei Square. The area was filled with people waiting for friends to meet up to head into the nightlife. The brightness of the center of the plaza was around 140lx, with the light from the surrounding buildings and advertisements adding to the measurement, but ultimately there was enough light in the area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Photo-1A-DSC_4526-Night.jpg\" alt=\"Photo 1A - DSC_4526 - Night\"><br \/>\nTourist location lit up with warm lights<\/div>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_3954.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3954\"><br \/>\nStreet stalls open deep into the night<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Photo-3B_Night-main-Street.jpg\" alt=\"rhdr\"><br \/>\nThe Jie Fang Bei Area<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>For the people in Chongqing, I could imagine that lighting was relatively interwoven into their daily life. Even if it was slightly dark during the day, people relied on the warm sunlight. Others ate hot pot after watching the light show at night and bought fruits at the carefully lit street stalls while taking a walk. Because it is a place surrounded by rivers, the view of the sky is vast and there are many places you enjoy the large expanse of the landscape around. Especially with the level differences in the buildings, the same city has new expressions to show depending on where you are looking from.

With a rich history of being a major economic hub, Chong Qing was propelled to earn a place in the top 13 megalopolises of China. With the theme of understanding and exploring the cultural traditions of Chong Qing, we set out to discover its customs and efforts to preserve the rich traditions which create the unique character that separates this Sze Chuan-influenced province from the other major cities of China.<br \/>\nWe began at the heart of the city: the old district of Ci Qi Kou. This old town is currently filled with shops sell goods and traditional food of the old Chongqing. A modernized trading hub that reflects the bustling old port to trade porcelain along the Yangtze River. It was a commercial hub for pioneers back in the Ming and Qing Dynasty(1368 -1911). Teahouses and traditional<br \/>\ntheatres dominate the streets alongside the spicy yet tantalizing smell of Mala-hotpot, spices, and barbequed meat during the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Photo-19F_Night-Street-View.jpg\" alt=\"Photo 19F_Night - Street View\"><br \/>\nTraditional Tea Houses in the Day transforms into evening Bars<\/div>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Photo-18C_Night-Street-Light.jpg\" alt=\"Photo 18C_Night - Street Light\"><br \/>\nClose up Custom &#8220;fire&#8221; Lantern bearing the Logo of Ci Qi Kou<\/div>\n<hr class=\"end-tile\">\n<p>We headed into the oldest theatre to understand the rich history of Chinese cultural arts and the formula of balancing the two forms of expressions: Preservation vs modernization.<br \/>\nThe theatre&#8217;s interior and atmosphere hold similarity to the old teahouses of ancient China where round tables are arranged alternately between rows giving unobstructed views to the stage. Stage lightings are well hidden behind the old architecture structures allowing a glare-free visual experience. We were both thrilled at the thoughtfulness behind this lighting arrangement<br \/>\nand comfortably lit tables around the stage.<br \/>\nColour-coordinated handcrafted lanterns along every walkway indicate the trails that provide wayfinding around the theatre&#8217;s premises.<br \/>\nHowever, the atmosphere takes a dramatic twist once nightfall, the traditional teahouses transform into modern bars.<br \/>\nLanterns light up the street like ancient traditional street lanterns used in the Han dynasty. The street-level still maintains the same concept of the past where these lanterns were the only public lighting for the street where bars are absent, providing an authentic historic experience.<br \/>\nThe traditional lanterns complement the street&#8217;s modern character alongside the bars&#8217; neon lights, creating a seemingly poetic sense of coexistence with its roots. Linear lights highlight the facade of the shophouses and showcase the history and architectural elements that withstood years of re-purposing.<br \/>\nWe left the district after understanding its cohesive planning to retain traditions yet rebranding the spirit of merchant-trading in these modern changing times.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190704_142344.jpg\" alt=\"bsh\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"caption-sm\">Cultural traditions complimented with modern stage lighting<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>New District of Tan Zhi Shi (\u5f39\u5b50\u77f3):Residential Oasis of Chong Qing<\/h3>\n<p>After understanding China&#8217;s efforts to preserve such lighting methods in the strive for progress, a trip to the new residential district was done to survey and document changes that were applied.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Page-2-Image-Top-Large-Image.jpg\" alt=\"bsh\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"caption-sm\">Tan Zhi Shi District highlighted with linear architecture light contrasting the mild facade lighting of the residential blocks<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Page-2-Image-Top-Right-Top.jpg\" alt=\"rhdr\"><br \/>\nLinear architectural lights outlines the details of chinese construction<\/div>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190706_000140.jpg\" alt=\"bsh\"><br \/>\nHanging Lanterns with wall scones fills every shopping street<\/div>\n<hr class=\"end-tile\">\n<p>The downtown district of Tan Zhi Shi is a new mixed self-sufficient entertainment hub, complete with daily facilities resembling a miniature city.

The tourist-packed Ci Qi Kou co- xists with its historical past using &#8220;Fire Lanterns&#8221; that line the street level facade and roof highlights upon nightfall.<br \/>\nTan Zhi Shi&#8217;s consumer profile targets the other end of the spectrum; locals. Lighting in this Special Festive design lights illuminating road with landmarks Street Stores using spiral E27 bulbs with red lamp shades Downtown old residential district of the locals Glaring ambient lighting for the icon of this district &#8211; The Reindeer contrast. Tan Zhi Shi&#8217;s shopping directory is dominated by trendy retail outlets and budding cafes and its main audience is of the younger generation. Located on the opposite shore of the Jiefangbei, it serves as one of the many<br \/>\noasis that surrounds the Jiefangbei district, distinctly filled with locals. Lighting fixtures found within the street levels are more decorative; such as sculpture and catenary lighting to<br \/>\ncater to younger visitors that frequent this area.<br \/>\nHowever, on the roof facade level, architectural linear lights are being used to outline the Chinese architectural elements. The further survey also reveals the upmarket character of this district from the finishes and wall textures found on the facade and street level. Catenary lighting that was hanging zig-zag across the width of the streets is custom-fabricated with district-related icons and motifs that complement the rare earth stones used on the facade. The culture and vibe in this district appear to be more casual compared to the main tourist area as the main plaza is filled with the younger generation, practicing dance choreography throughout the evening. Linear facade lights were eventually dimmed down and other lights are switched off past midnight, unlike the tourist-heavy districts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Page-2-Image-Bottom-Middle.jpg\" alt=\"bsh\"><br \/>\nStreet Stores using spiral E27 bulbs with red lamp shades<\/div>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Page-2-Image-Bottom-Right-1.jpg\" alt=\"Page 2 Image Bottom Right\"><br \/>\nDowntown old residential district of the locals<\/div>\n<hr class=\"end-tile\">\n<h2>City Night Walk Vol.064\uff1aSkybus Tour<\/h2>\n<p>2019.07.26\u3000Anri Sato+ Mutsuro Honma<\/p>\n<p>For our 64th Stroll about town, we explored the Tokyo Nightscape using a 2 story open roof bus: Skybus.

We were curious to explore how the nightscape of Tokyo has changed especially after the Tsukiji market has moved completely to the Toyosu Market.<br \/>\nThe highlight of this trip is the nightscape of Tokyo you see when you are driving on the Shuto Highway.<br \/>\nWe enjoyed the combination of the large expansive sky, the nightscape, and the soothing wind that we could not normally enjoy on our own. The speed at which we travel is also completely different in comparison to our normal strolls and the view of the city at that speed and height gave us a completely different perspective as before.<br \/>\nAt Odaiba, we took a 60-minute break and took a walk at Odaiba Marine Park. This area is a quiet beach right now but will have temporary constructions in order to accommodate some Olympic sporting events. Further, the athletes housing will be located at Chuoku Harumi. It seems after the games, it would be rebuilt into some high-rise apartments. On the day of exploration, it was still before the construction, so it was filled with imagining how the view would be after the buildings were built.<br \/>\n(Anri Sato)<\/p>\n<h3>Reflection on the exploration<\/h3>\n<p>The perks of the Skybus tour is that it allows us to experience the city of Tokyo at a different speed and perspective. It seems that even if you thought that you knew Tokyo like the back of your hand, there were things that would surprise you if you were to change your perspective.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col45-right\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_9203-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9203\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Without any trouble from the Typhoon or rain that we thought could ruin our plans, the bus started driving under the blue sky. It was still bright out when Leader Mende-san started his greetings, but we could feel the sun hitting our skin slowly change angles, slowly bringing us into the night. The sun that was setting on the emperor\u2019s residence was beautiful. There was also a building that had their window frame structures protruding from the building, creating a nice shadow once it was hit by the sunset, creating a great balance of light and shadow.<\/p>\n<p>As we approached twilight, the bus approached Tokyo Tower. We were able to look at Tokyo Tower from a very close distance, but we were able to see different sides and expressions of it as we drove around. As the sky turned a deep blue on the east and remained red on the west, the different skies gave the Tokyo Tower completely different looks and left different impressions. Enjoying these different views on the same trip was something we could only achieve with the speed that we had on the bus.<br \/>\nThe sun had set completely when we arrived at Odaiba. The boats parked on the river reflected beautifully in the water. The airplane warning lights blinking was also beautiful. These lights that blink still often use incandescent lamps, resulting in a soft fade for its blinking. It was sort of sad to think about the change to LEDs in this case, as we would lose this special moment to the clean blinking of the LEDs. But looking it up just now, even if they replaced the incandescent bulbs with LEDs, they would do so with LEDs with the capability to replicate the slow fade of the incandescent bulbs. Perhaps they also are considering the upkeep of the nightscape while they make these decisions! If that is true, that would be amazing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/005b612f35c97e78377c0640abf36aaa.jpg\" alt=\"\u8857\u6b69\u304d_13\"><br \/>\nThe Skybus driving through the charming Ginza nightscape<\/div>\n<div class=\"tile-45\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/97112b01efc912f333e8910521d04444.jpg\" alt=\"\u8857\u6b69\u304d_09\"><br \/>\nLooking up at the rainbow bridge in an open roof car<\/div>\n<hr class=\"end-tile\">\n<p>As we left Odaiba, the bus took us on the Shuto Highway once again. The night has befallen and we are now looking at a scene that better expresses the Tokyo nightscape than when we were on our way to Odaiba. As we are moving much faster than usual, the flourishing nightscape of Tokyo looks somewhat different. Suddenly, there was a building, with only one floor under construction that caught my eye. The black block of a building, with the bright Tokyo nightscape as a backdrop, has a single line of light. This was beautiful and left a lasting impression. This floor was probably the floor used by the architecture company as their office. This is probably the last bit of work till the completion of the building. It seems slightly out of place to say this view is beautiful as the workers are probably working and stressed, but I believe that the temporary nature of this view is what makes it beautiful and precious. With thoughts for those working in the building and also enjoying the view, it mesmerized me for a while.<br \/>\nLooking at the weather forecast, it was a miracle that it hadn\u2019t rained by the time the bus pulled up to Tokyo Station, taking us back to where we started.<br \/>\nThis was a trip that turned out better than expected, with many locations to take a look at and even more to discover.<br \/>\nWe could also see the renewed Tosoyu Market and the old market that is about to be demolished. Further, Tokyo is changing in preparation for the Olympics. However, even as the city changes continuously, I felt that the people here continue to remain the same.<br \/>\nThis was a trip that left me feeling as if changing my perspective allowed me to look at not just the changing city and nightscape but also others hard work around the city.

Well, it feels long, but at the same time sort of short\u2026 To be honest, I have felt a crisis a few times during these years, complaining to our staff members, saying \u2018perhaps we should change it up and do something new or else we would just become something that is done out of ritual and not be as meaningful.\u2019 However, we were able to get to this milestone with everything intact because the will of the Lighting Detectives was unchanging and because we were able to have fun with everyone. Thank you for your support. It means we were about to release 100 volumes of newsletters in these past 29 years. This is also an impressive milestone. The newsletters of before were quite different from the ones that are written these days. The people who wrote them were the same and there was no checking process for the content, so people probably just wrote what they wanted. The newsletters these days are closer to reports by journalists and are more exciting to read. Though the texts do get longer and photos are getting too small.<br \/>\nWhat we find most important in this group is the difference of opinions. Most groups appreciate the homogeneity of the group, where everyone is of the same mind and opinion, but the Lighting Detectives appreciate the intermingling and the discussions that result from the different opinions and perspectives. Our opinions on lighting differ based on our age, gender, area and time we live in, our culture, nationality, and beliefs. There is no answer to what the correct opinion is. The important and interesting part is how our differences in opinion occur.<br \/>\nThat is why, in our \u2018Shomei Tanteidan Tsushin\u2019 it isn\u2019t enough to report just facts such as\u2018what we saw where\u2019, \u2018this was the brightness\u2019.
