More and more urban architecture and LED screens are being combined to create beautiful technological landscapes in cities.
LED screens are designed to fit onto the façade of a building, transforming the building into a giant LED screen, and the combination of the two creates a stunning visual effect.
Types of LED screen joint building
The basic conditions of the building shape are different, the difficulty of installing LED display screen will also be different, according to the building itself, we can roughly divide the LED screen architecture into these four types.
Traditional rectangular building
Everyday on the street common office buildings, residential buildings and other buildings, the shape is more regular rectangular building.
This type of building design is simple, the surface is flat, in its facade to install LED screen is a relatively simple thing, do not need too much technical and technological requirements, only need to install the LED screen in line with customer expectations.
Curved Architecture
The display surface of the internal space of the building or the façade of the building presents a curved shape, this kind of building is usually called curved building.
Installation of LED screens on the surface of curved buildings is technically quite a challenge, the curved surface of the LED and the curved surface of the building should fit as much as possible, in order to maintain the original building’s design sense of shape, which also has high requirements for the LED screen material , and usually requires a flexible LED panel to form.
Shaped building
Shaped building refers to the shape is irregular single or multiple geometric composition of the building.
This kind of shaped building layout LED screen difficulty is extremely high, most of the cases on the market standard LED module is difficult to support the installation, the need for different projects for customized LED module, and targeted design installation program, to ensure that there is a reasonable installation path as well as the stability of the installation structure.
Transparent glass curtain wall
Now in the city facade to glass curtain wall as the dominant building is also endless, and mostly for high-rise buildings.
Standing in the building can clearly see the outside scenery, glass curtain wall facade has excellent lighting and open vision, so most of them are used as office buildings.
Installation of LED screen on the transparent glass curtain wall, you need to use the same transparent LED screen , invisible transparent LED screen, so as to ensure that the glass curtain wall to retain the original facade visibility, high lighting characteristics.
LED screen building advantages and solutions
Advantages and solutions of LED screens for traditional rectangular buildings
Advantages
Traditional rectangular building shape is more moderate, the installation of LED screen is relatively simple, most of the market common architecture LED screen is built on top of this ordinary rectangular building, the installation of the workers will be more experienced, the installation process is more skillful and reliable.
Solution
Conventional and popular architectural shapes mean that if you want the LED screen to be more colorful, you need to play the content up and down more efforts, for example, many of these traditional rectangular buildings will use right-angle turn type LED screen, and then use the specially customized 3D LED screen content, three-dimensional picture will give the audience on the side of the road to bring an extremely shocking visual impact.
Curved architectural LED screen advantages and solutions
Advantages
Curved architectural LED screen can have a wider viewing angle, especially for small volume buildings, and its curved facade can bring space utilization into higher play.
In terms of visual effect, curved LED screen will play more three-dimensional picture, and the content will be more layered when viewed from different perspectives.
Solution
When installing curved architectural LED screen, the curvature of the building facade should be calculated in advance, and the curvature of the installed LED display and the curvature of the facade should be consistent, so as not to change the curvature of the building shape.
And pay attention to the curved surface of the LED module between the seams to neatly fit, so as not to affect the subsequent picture playback effect.
Shaped building LED screen advantages and solutions
Advantages
Shaped architecture LED screen shape itself is very special eye-catching, as long as the power playback screen can become a very attractive sight display, it highlights the building more interesting and personality.
Solution
A variety of strange shaped building, the market is difficult to find and it matches the LED module, in the assembly of the LED screen before the need to go to the site in advance for measurement, followed by special customization to create a fit for the shaped building of the LED module.
In addition, the shape of the external surface of the shaped building is not fixed, the installation of LED screen structure support points should be correctly looking for, calculate the force analysis, to confirm that the subsequent structural framework done by the force is stable, can make the LED display screen is stable and safe fixed in the building facade.
Transparent glass curtain wall LED screen advantages and solutions
Advantages
Transparent glass curtain wall LED screen is a hollow shape, thin and light invisible LED display, even if the display screen power display screen, the background of the people and things can still be seen, so most of the transparent glass curtain wall LED screen application scenarios, the picture seems to be suspended in mid-air, very technological and futuristic.
Transparent glass curtain wall LED screen installation basically does not affect the original appearance of the building, display screen effect is stunning, it is easy to attract the attention of passers-by.
Solution
Transparent glass curtain wall LED screen of the overall thin and light, hanging against the glass curtain wall will not have too much structural support, so the installation should be extra careful to ensure that the whole LED screen are firmly connected, stable installation in the glass curtain wall, will not easily fall off.
What are the interactive designs of LED screen and building structure?
Shape Interaction
LED screen is very flexible and diversified, it can and a variety of architectural shapes blend together, and does not appear to be abrupt, as if the design and installation of the building itself has the existence of LED display screen, the two are skillfully integrated together.
Color interaction
In addition to the shape, but also according to the building’s own color and style to design of the LED screen content , so that the LED screen and the building’s style has more sense of connection.
Or the use of similar colors, so that the two form a unified style, integrated features, or the use of contrasting colors, so that the colors between the two form a strong contrast, highlighting the key points, the overall visual effect is more impactful.
LED screen to adapt to the building structure must be considered
Technical difficulty
In addition to ordinary rectangular buildings, there are many twisted, irregularly shaped buildings, the technical difficulty of installing LED screens on the surface of this type of building is high.
It requires a lot of measurements and calculations of the exterior dimensions of the building, as well as specially customized modules to take several aspects into account before a perfectly integrated architecture LED screen can be completed.
Structural Safety
Some buildings have complex shapes, so designing a safe structure for installation is also a very complicated matter, and the strong winds in some areas are a greater test for structural support, which are all factors that need to be taken into account in a comprehensive manner.
System Integration
The building itself is a multi-functional, highly integrated large-scale objects, therefore, in the installation of LED screen, we should consider the LED screen function, appearance and the function of the building, the structure of the building in harmony, the articulation is natural.
Cost control
The cost of LED screen is not cheap, especially when various shaped buildings need to be customized, the price will be more expensive.
Confirm the budget in advance, according to the budget to check the cost of each item, and then make the corresponding performance increase or decrease, in order to be able to correctly and healthily install an architecture LED screen.
