Quotations of speakers

Lin Hong, Rethinking on Indirect Lighting

Indirect lighting, whether it is indirect or direct, hidden or exposed, technical or aesthetic, or the idea and skill, it is just like a clown's throw, we only need to throw these balls in the right position to reach a balance, so that our lighting quality can be realized and guaranteed.

Professor of School of Architechture & Applied Art, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts

Warren Julian, What does the people oriented lighting look?

In the lighting design, we need to fully consider the physiological characteristics of human beings in the process of evolution and the characteristics of the nature of the light, so as to achieve better lighting purposes and effects and make people-oriented lighting.

The University of Sydney, professor emeritus

Yan Yonghong, The Connection of Light -- a New Path for the Lighting Environment Design of the City Park Landscape

Most public may not understand art. As a lighting designer, it is more important to bring art from the gallery to the city space, to break the bubble of the art gallery, and let the citizens truly appreciate the artistic beauty of the lighting device, and make the works of elegant and common appreciation. I don't want our work to be just fresh and noisy for a while. I think it's alive and people will remember it in the future.

Professor and Tutor of Ph.D. Student of Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University

Wang Xuechen, The Artistry of Light -- 3.0 Era of Advocating Culture and Value

I used to be a lighting designer, and now I have a very deep feeling across the border. The artistry is not groundless. It must be innovating. I highly recommend people to open ideas and mind, to accept innovative things. The first is on the hardware, the content of cross boundary can be put into our project, the second is to have a breakthrough in the concept, and to give the cultural value of the light show in the integration.

Gilles Flouret, Lyon, France the Biggest Light Festival Event’s from Tradition to Modernity

Firstly, the way of bidding is not limited to the subject, but the location and budget are limited;
Secondly, the economic effect - investment of 1 Europe returns 10 Europe;
Thirdly, technical aspect - inspiring the innovation of the artists and adopting new technology.

Ding Jianhua, Holding the Direction of Industry to Grasp the Future

The direction of future has three key points, one is innovation, the second is increment, and the third is integration. Innovation refers to innovative technology and product category. Increment refers to a new application and new market. Integration is cross boundary integration and integration of production and finance. The future trend is like a strong wind. Even if we can't see the wind, we can feel its will and existence of the wind.

Li Fengchun, A Successful Hotel Design is Inseparable from Good Lighting Design

Firstly, there are three elements for the successful hotel design: accurate positioning, less focus on hard decoration but more focus on soft decoration, mechanical and electrical, lighting, acoustics in place; secondly, integrated design suitable for the status of Chinese hotel industry; thirdly, the culture is the core competitiveness of the hotel design; fourthly, good lighting for space, so that different hotel space has a more distinct personality.

Vice President of YANG & Associates Group

Atsushi ltakura , Value and Quality of Lighting Design -- The Right Lighting Design in the Right Place

Improving people's quality of life is the basic purpose of lighting design; lighting designers should realize that our lighting design is responsible for the society; when we decide that we are going to make a harmonious light, we should consider how we can make our lights more comfortable in the design process.

Xu Dongliang, Distance between Light and Architecture

The distance between us and light, the easiest way to understand it is that how we feel when we master light. The next step is to have distance and scale. For example, when we build a building, we need to use cloth to illuminate it. This is a feeling. Then expand to our street, how do we think about it. Then when we expand to the city, how do we think about it?

General Manager of Toryo International Lighting Design Center

Yuan Zongnan, Mansion in the Forest - how Light Affects Architecture?

Now is the era of smart home, we are not afraid of the same industry, but are afraid of different industries to make a mess. In the future, the development of interior designers in China should not only be intelligent, but also could save lives. We must not hesitate now, we should always remember to do well and fear nothing. Make an example by example.

Event conclusion

We have got a lot of supports from many audiences as the same as the past years. The tickets were sold out before the meeting. The occasion was more overwhelmed on spot. The audience who came to buy tickets still insisted on buying a ticket with no seat to hear a master's lecture.

2018 Asia Lighting Arts Symposium was successfully concluded at Pazhou at 18:15 in June 10th. We look forward to seeing you again in 2019!
