Lighting Design of Shanghai Yanzi Academy

Guangzhou DeYuan Lighting Design has designed the lighting for Shanghai Yanzi Academy.

The Yanzi Academy is located in the Fengxian District of Shanghai; the building mainly displays the life story of the Sage Yan Zi.

The design intention follows the spatial order of the building, from abstract to clear, and the lighting effect is expanded by receiving and releasing.

Through the combination of lighting with architecture and landscape, indirect lighting is used to highlight the spatial sense and hierarchical relationship of the building so that the entire space is integrated.

In order to show the life story of Sage Yan Zi, visitors can experience the cultural transmission brought by the academy during the tour experience.


This project has been shortlisted in the lighting design category of Dezeen Awards China 2024.
