DMX512 Shanghai World Financial Center

Shanghai World Financial Center 492 meters

Shanghai World Financial Center is a skyscraper located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, with a height of 492 meters and 101 floors above ground.

The shape and structure of Shanghai World Financial Center is derived from the concept of "integration of heaven and earth", which "interprets" high-rise buildings as a link between heaven and earth. The main body is a square column, which is formed by two giant arched slopes gradually narrowing upwards and meeting at the top. The square prisms and large arcs intersect each other, highlighting the vertical height of the building.

In order to reduce wind resistance, a giant annular circular wind tunnel opening was set at the top of the building in the original design, borrowing from the "moon gate" of Chinese garden architecture, and later the wind tunnel at the top of the building was changed from a circular shape to an inverted trapezoid. Also because the shape of the inverted trapezoidal wind tunnel resembles a tool for opening the lid of a wine bottle, the common people call it a "corkscrew".

Vteck provides the DMX512 lighting control system for the exterior lighting of the entire building. Through the control of the color, brightness, transformation and scene of different nodes, the beautiful effect is displayed in the night.

Different from the lighting methods of Shanghai Tower and Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center uses more linear elements to design the facade lighting, echoing the concept of linear design of the building itself. The outline of the building is emphasized by long strip lights on both sides of the building, and the horizontal strip lights in the middle create a post-modern technology image. Linear lights gradually shorten along the height of the prism, highlighting the grandeur of the building from another angle.

The landscape lighting of Shanghai World Financial Center is generally divided into three types: weekday mode, Sunday mode and festival mode. Several common program sources can be set on the facade, and programs can also be produced according to specific festivals and played under different time conditions. The program source is generally a FLASH animation that has been produced, which can be a high-definition DVD transcription, or the mood and color of the display can be changed according to the weather and the rain.
