2014–2015年阿姆斯特丹灯光节，为你带来阿姆斯特丹最闪耀的冬天。荷兰设计公司Serge Schoemaker Architects  & Digiluce手工打造了一个4米高，12米周长为边的光方体。此次灯光节是第三届，旨在以光明城市的形象迎接北欧的冬季还有温馨的新年，点亮红砖与灰砖组成的城市，为城市带来开放，动态，迷人等等品质。灯光装置共使用到了320串灯单元，每串灯单元上有6个灯泡，他们挂在离地面一米的黑色钢筋框架上，闪闪发光的迎接游客攀爬进入。

During the 2014-2015 Amsterdam Light Festival you can experience Amsterdam’s most sparkling street this winter: the Alley of Light. Dutch-based design offices Serge Schoemaker Architects & Digiluce created this twelve-metre-long passage that is surrounded by a four-meter-high three-dimensional matrix of 2000 handmade lights.

The Alley of Light is an urban space defined by light. Recalling the typical narrow alleys of red and grey bricks in the historic centre of Amsterdam, this installation visualises the theme of this third annual light festival in Amsterdam, A Bright City, in a radical way. Open, dynamic and enchanting, this alley represents the best qualities that a contemporary city like Amsterdam has to offer.

The architectural light installation consists of 320 vertical strings with six lights each, hanging in a black steel cage construction. The footprint of the installation measures 10 by 12 metres. It is placed on an existing platform on Jonas Daniël Meijerplein, which could be considered a stage for the design. As the installation rises one metre above ground level, visitors have to climb several steps to enter this sparkling world.

The atmosphere and sense of space within the twelve metre-long passage change continuously thanks to its programmed variation of light configurations that never repeats. The lights continuously change intensity. The wave-like motion of light within the installation generates a unique spatial experience: when all lights are lit, the passage appears enclosed and intimate; as soon as the lights dim, the space becomes fluid and the borders of the alley start to fade.

Alongside the internal experience, the installation is perceived externally as an eye-catching three-dimensional animation. The motion of light within the strong geometric shape of the matrix can be seen from afar and invites people to experience the installation from within. The algorithm that controls the individual lights and generates the wave-like motion through the grid, is inspired by and derived from the physics of underwater lighting effects.

The individual lights are designed as abstract vertical lines. Each handmade light consists of two LEDs enclosed by an acrylic tube. The tubes are covered with white paper and sealed with heat shrink tubes. Next to the nearly 2000 lights, the installation consists of one-and-a-half kilometres of cabling.

在这个边长12米的方体重，灯光在电子编程的作用下不断变化着强度。从外观看，可以看到十分明显的灯光波浪动画效果。每串灯都是线状。其中单个灯管是由亚克力管包裹两个LED光源而成。该装置共使用近2000个灯，管线消耗达到1.5公里。该装置位于阿姆斯特丹 Jonas Daniël Meijerplein离市中心，在犹太历史博物馆与犹太教堂之间，开放时间从现在持续到2015年1月5日。每天下午5点到晚上10点璀璨登场！

During the Amsterdam Light Festival the Alley of Light is located in the historic centre of Amsterdam on Jonas Daniël Meijerplein, between the Jewish Historical Museum and the Portuguese-Israeli Synagogue. It runs until 4 January 2015. Open daily from 5 until 10 pm. Thexperience of the installation is supported on site by music from Machinefabriek/ Rutger Zuydervelt.
