Using the power of design to shake this image, The Nippon Foundation is in the middle of developing &#8220;The Tokyo Toilet&#8221; project in Shibuya Ward.&nbsp; We surveyed a few locations in Shibuya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public restrooms in Yoyogi Fukamachi Park and Haruno Ogawa Community Park have transparent walls, a totally alternative way of thinking and impractical design.\u00a0 However, with help from the latest advancements in transparent glass and dimming glass film it is possible.\u00a0 Before use, one is able to check the cleanliness of the restroom or whether someone might be hiding inside.\u00a0 Once inside and locked, the outer walls instantly transform to non-transparent glass.\u00a0 Each toilet stall is equipped with linear lighting to illuminate all corners of the stall, also doubling to illuminate the outer glass walls of the restroom so the entire facility glows like a lantern.\u00a0<br>However, the silhouette of someone inside the stall is slightly recognizable and many women do not feel entirely safe to use the restrooms.\u00a0 Some even stated that they do not think they want to use the restrooms at all.\u00a0\u00a0 A transparent public restroom is revolutionary, and we look forward to the development and improvement of\u00a0 technology.\u00a0<br>The walls of the public restroom in Nishihara 1-chome Park are foggy glass printed with the silhouette of trees.\u00a0 Each toilet stall is equipped with linear lighting to highlight the tree silhouette and illuminate the entire restroom, which glows like a traditional paper sliding door or a Japanese-style lantern.\u00a0 Signage lighting is very easy to understand, clearly marking the facility as a public restroom.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Nabeshima Shoto Park, each toilet stall of the public restroom is covered with Yoshino Cedar, blending into the natural surroundings.&nbsp; The cedar is uplit with soft light, emphasizing the warmth of the timber.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some glare is unfortunate, but the overall design reflects a sense of security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After surveying several public restrooms, our hope is that the recognition for comfortable and attractive public restrooms improves and they increase in numbers.\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\uff08Tomoya Furukawa\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26295\" width=\"368\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/374fc31bdda71b30fa89c2793a0ee652.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Using blue color lighting in Waters TAKESHIBA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0Takeshiba Area<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four members surveyed the Takeshiba area, focusing on Waters Takeshiba, which opened in 2020.&nbsp;

Floors, B1 to 3F are devoted to restaurants, shopping and other service business, for a total of 58 businesses.&nbsp; From the 4F to 36F, all floors are office space.&nbsp; In the 1F entrance a waterfall and monument are highlighted with light of a high color temperature creating a crisp impression, very fitting for the office entrance.&nbsp; We labeled this a hero of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walls in the vaulted space surrounding the escalators are softly illuminated with a gradation of light from concealed louver lighting.&nbsp; Care was taken so no light sources are visible.&nbsp;&nbsp; Light sources along the timber ceiling are carefully adjusted assuring beautiful light and shadow.&nbsp; We also labeled this a hero of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the 3F, 26 restaurants are set in the \u201cToranomon Yokocho.\u201d&nbsp; Stimulating a narrow city street, the entire space is arranged around this \u201calley\u201d with linear lighting also flanking both sides. The linear light creates unity amongst each original establishment design.&nbsp; However it is a little too bright, negatively affecting the originality of each business design.&nbsp; The group was divided on whether this is a hero or villain of light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The large wall near the escalator in \u201cToranomon Yokocho\u201d was also covered with fixtures, including several metro ceiling fixtures.\u00a0 The design needed more organization, but overall coordination of warm color temperatures created a pleasant lighting environment.\u00a0 After Covid restrictions are lifted, I think more people will visit and bring needed energy to the space.\u00a0 (Naoko Oguchi)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

Dutch group WERC, are placed along the tree-line pathways and randomly illuminated creating a sense of rhythm while walking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colored lighting is heavily used in centrally located landscaping, along with various types of fixtures.&nbsp; However, tree uplights were covered with thick foliage, only illuminating the base of the trees for an obtrusive impression of the design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entrance to \u201cGreen Springs\u201d is under the tracks of the elevated monorail.\u00a0 Compared to \u201cGreen Springs\u201d,\u00a0 regular street lighting is

instagramability.&nbsp; Even though this is a very shallow barometer, the historical temples and shrines of Kyoto are being engulfed by this raging wave, which seems to be the new standard.&nbsp; So we were curious as to how it is affecting popular tourist spots around the city, such as Fushimiinari Taisha Shrine, which is very instagramable.&nbsp; Nervously, we set off on our survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there was no need to worry about Fushimiinari Taisha Shrine.&nbsp;&nbsp; From the hand cleansing basin on our way to the main shrine, deep in the forest, we stopped to visit the Kumataka Shrine.&nbsp; From this point, there is a shrine located even deeper, a kind of secret shrine to pray to the gods.&nbsp; We wanted to see what lay in this secret area, but essentially it is a sacred area with limited human interaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lighting environment also seems to be divided at this point.\u00a0 The area most visitors use to proceed to the main shrine is designed with incandescent hanging lanterns for subtle, but comfortable light.\u00a0 From here, lighting in the sacred area filters through from in between shrine gates, like white moonlight, expressing nature in its rugged form.\u00a0\u00a0 The lighting seems to be an act of god designed by humans, a real hero of light.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u3000\u3000\u3000\uff08Mutsuro

Beijing, we surveyed the Xidan Update Field, formally the Xidanyuan Cultural Square.&nbsp;&nbsp; Xidan is a central hub in Beijing and one of the oldest shopping centers in the city.&nbsp; The area is surrounded by shopping malls and office buildings designed heavily with facade and commercial lighting for a very bright lighting environment.&nbsp; However, several years ago a plan to overhaul the plaza with a new landscape design had positive effects on the surrounding environment which has toned down the lighting.&nbsp; Compared to after redevelopment, lighting before redevelopment was decorative with a flat blanket of light.&nbsp; The new lighting design is designed around functionality and the user&#8217;s sense of comfortability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the interior and landscape lighting in the area was designed by LPA.&nbsp; Therefor many examples of heroes of light exist in the area.&nbsp; However, because of dim interior lighting or other faulty workmanship we also found villains of light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the plaza entrance a Chinese-style archway, a pailo, is illuminated highlighting the contours.&nbsp; Compared to the bright building facades in the background, the contrast is very striking.&nbsp; Only trees along the entrance pathway are uplit, so one&#8217;s eyes easily adjust once in the dimly lit plaza.&nbsp; Metallic materials used in the surrounding facades reflect light creating a very interesting scene.&nbsp; Lanterns releasing soft light dot the landscape for a design that is visually-friendly, but also illuminates dark areas creating a sense of security for pedestrians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we also found faulty craftsmanship, irregularity along wall lighting, and several places with exposed tape lights.&nbsp; Some interior lighting was also too bright with excessive glare.&nbsp; We labeled facades that reflected light an accomplice to villians of light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started out in lighting design, I studied numbers and went over and over simulations, but I ignored the actual setting and environment.\u00a0 As a professional lighting designer, I found that Lighting Detectives activities are a really great place to learn about life and light outside of work.\u00a0 Tonight`s survey of the plaza revealed an exception to the Chinese nightscape.\u00a0 Next I would like to join a survey in Japan to compare nightscapes.\u00a0\u3000\u3000\u3000(Yao Yuan)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7

Huaiyuan Gate and Fujin Gate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u25a0Shenyang, China<\/strong>\u3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My hometown, Shenyang, originally called Mukden, is a very historical city.&nbsp; To tell the historical story of Shenyang we followed the Shenyang Circuit on our city walk.&nbsp; The Shenyang Imperial Palace is located in the middle of the Shenyang Circuit in a straight line between Huaiyuan Gate and Fujin Gate.&nbsp; Both gates are designed with the same lighting, so we will explain the design of Fujin Gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fujin Gate is one of nine palace gates in Shenyang during the Qing Dynasty.&nbsp; The picture on the left shows the Fujin Gate illuminated with yellow and red color lighting, which has significant meaning.&nbsp; Yellow is a traditional color representing the Qing Dynasty and moral standard.&nbsp; From a defensive position along the palace walls, the yellow light also refers to a soberness and impenetrability.&nbsp; In China, red is traditionally a celebratory color symbolizing good fortune and passion.&nbsp; At one time, huge political ceremonies were held near the watch towers.&nbsp; The garden lanterns are illuminated in red to express this celebratory atmosphere.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sculptures along the watchtowers are meticulously illuminated with warm light, eaves to the left and right, and the red lanterns emphasize the solemness and grandeur of the gate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the main gate to Shenyang Imperial Palace is illuminated with green colored LEDs, a total Villain of Light.&nbsp;&nbsp; The path from Fujin Gate to the Shenyang Imperial Place is illuminated with yellow and red light creating a somber atmosphere, but with a sense of happiness, which is totally spoiled by the spooky green light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the old Mukden Palace through a new filter of light, the palace walls are grandeur, and the watchtowers have a stately beauty, both emphasized by the red lanterns, creating a very bright spot in the Shenyang nightscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Festive mood of Huaiyan Gate and Fujin Gate<br>Trees uplit with green light, a Villian of Light.\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\uff08LIU Xinyu)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

still.&nbsp; Wise men are happy, but the virtuous live a long life. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25c6Broken Bridge of West Lake<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This monumental passage tries to connect the natural landscape of mountains and water with people in a literary sense.&nbsp; Likewise, we enjoyed the connection between a beautiful, picture-perfect nightscape of mountains and water with lighting design on our walk along West Lake to Longxiang Bridge.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lotus floating on the Broken Bridge and the darkness surrounding the bridge, emphasize the bridge itself, creating a very relaxing atmosphere.\u00a0 The indirect lighting illuminating the bridge leaves a foggy reflection on the water.\u00a0 Color lighting is not used so the texture of the stone is plainly visible.\u00a0 The light is a paint brush, the shadows are ink, and the night is a canvas.\u00a0 The sky and water fill the blank space of the picture.\u00a0 A painting of mountains and water is not just mountains and water, but a bridge designed like a mountain and lotus like water.\u00a0 Light is necessary to complete this classic ink painting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25c6Bai Causeway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lighting design divides the Bai Causeway into two sections.\u00a0 Yellow light illuminates the areas of movement and purple light illuminates the space for resting.\u00a0 Both colors are very complementary to each other creating a very relaxing atmosphere.\u00a0 Compared to before, tree uplights are adjusted for tree height with additional contrasting intensity of light and shadow.\u00a0 The lighting design resembles a well-drawn ink drawing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25c6Longxiang Bridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Longxiang Bridge lighting design, itself, is a hero of light with a very avant-garde design, but under the West Lake lighting design concept of \u201cLandscape and Poetry,\u201d one could also label it a villian of light.&nbsp; The design is very showy and really catches one&#8217;s eye, but there is no underlying glamor.&nbsp; This lighting is not fulfilling its responsibility to function as a bonding adhesive between the residential zone and entertainment zone.&nbsp; As I started walking along the bridge, I was very impressed with the lighting.&nbsp; I felt that up until that moment lighting design had no place in my life.&nbsp; I was surprised and fascinated by the lighting design in streets I was so familiar with.&nbsp;&nbsp; This city walk sparked something and I`d like to walk around more streets to discover more heroes of light.&nbsp; Also it was fun to join online and be able to correspond with Japanese lighting detectives.&nbsp;&nbsp; \uff08GUO JIANGHAO)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

Definitely a villain of light.<br>\u3000Live broadcasting has created new possibilities for Lighting Detective activities, but we realized that, as in previous years, gathering together, experiencing the same spaces, followed by lively discussions is also very important.\u00a0 However, the future is still foggy, and I think that connecting to various places and viewing these present situations is also fun and very meaningful.\u00a0\u00a0 We still need to play around with and experiment more with the number of live areas, broadcasting methods, ect.\u00a0 We are always looking for suggestions and advice, so please contact our headquarters with any ideas.\u00a0       (Noriko Higashi)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date of Issue\uff1a26 October, 2021\u30fbActivity 1\/ City Night Walk vol. 67 Live Streaming \u300eHot Spot Now\u300f\uff082021.0.709\uff09\u30fbActivity 2\/ Salon Vol. 66\u56de Remote Salon (2021.07.28)Lighting Detectives News Letter Vol.107 Download PDF City Night Walk Vol. 067 S&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":26302,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"http:\/\/shomei-tanteidan.org\/?p=26276","footnotes":""},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tanteidan-tsushin","en-US"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
