4Seasons is an integrated system of information, technical specifications and luminaires designed specifically for parks, gardens and greenspaces. 4Seasons was created with the idea of suggesting different options for lighting engineering projects that make it possible to control and utilize shadows, in addition to respecting the natural areas.  4Seasons is not only a technical solution for lighting, it needs an emotional understanding and appreciation of the natural surrounding.

Artificially illuminating a natural object in the best way is to highlight its shape and unique characteristics, by evaluating its dimensions and possible growth and visualize its change through the seasons Successful lighting can be achieved if the equilibrium between light and shadow is re-created. 196

The wrong lighting eliminates  natural contrast  and diminishes the beauty of nature.   Light and shadows are complementary  elements in the natural environment,  only when they are combined in the  natural or artificially lit environment can  we appreciate the full richness of nature. PRISMA ARCHITECTURAL 197

Colour adds to the combination of light and dark  to interpret a season or emphasize a particular element:  nature becomes the scenography that surrounds life.  198 P R IV A T E V IL L A - T A N G S H A N  ( P E O P L E ’S R E P U B L IC  O F  C H IN A ) 4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM

The range of 4Seasons luminaires includes several light emission alternatives, with infinite possibilities for changing colours and beam intensity. 199

Natural elements and coloured lighting can produce  surprising, changing scenes.  The change can follow  and emphasize the modifications in seasonal conditions,  or create a quick, continuous visual effect, like one that  could be used for a festive evening. Seasonal variations influence the appearance of parks  and gardens. Each season coincides with a specific phase  of the life cycle of the different trees, bushes and lawns that  change colours and shapes all year long.   In this way, scenographic content becomes  an integral part of the lighting engineering project. 200 4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM

Thanks to the 4Seasons luminaires, nocturnal lighting can be planned to change the dominant colour scheme and adapt to the different seasons. 201

Luminaires from the 4Seasons system can be mounted together or stacked as desired.  Contact the Technical Service for customization requests. 202

BOX is suitable to light trees and bushes with different heights and dimensions and is offered with a wide range of light sources. The light aperture is 90º from two open sides and has the option to blank one of the openings.  CUT is also suitable to light trees and bushes with different heights and dimensions, but has a greater flexibility in application, which is distinguished by its inclined cut. The light aperture is 90º from three open sides and has the option to blank one or two of the openings. DECO is designed for the lighting of paths, patios and grazing light on ground surfaces providing decorative illumination. The light distribution can be alte-red by closing one or more of the five open sides.  All 4Seasons fittings are designed to use specific screens for an application to alter the light distribution and create shadows. They have a wide variety of light sources with options for LED colour changing. Technical descriptions, specifics on light sources, dra-wings of the screens and all the codes can be found from page 216 on. 4SEASONS SYSTEM LUMINAIRES NEW ANTI-GLARE VERSIONS 203 PRISMA ARCHITECTURAL

Here below, you’ll find a few simple guidelines that  are useful for those that want to learn more about  lighting natural elements, even if you have very little  experience.  1   Define the type of shape of the natural element  you want to spotlight 2   Define the position of the points of light necessary  for good quality lighting 3   Define the graphic personality of the natural  element and choose the most suitable screens 1 - TYPES OF SHAPES The shape and size of the natural element are determined to define the power and width of the light beam necessary for the best lighting characte-ristics.  Each shape has different requirements, both in terms of direction and in terms of the number of luminaires necessary to illumine the whole surface of the tree. 2 - POSITION OF LIGHTS It is well known that a tree’s natural develop-ment is regulated by the golden ratio, which is followed even in the fields of art and architec-ture as a perfect and harmonious proportional relationship.This same pattern also determines the optimal position of the points of light with respect to  LIGHTING TECHNIQUE 204 Picea Abies Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Pseudotsuga Menziesii Sequoia Sempervirens X Cupressocyparis Leylandii Sequoiadendron Giganteum Cryptomeria Japonica Thuja Plicata Acer Pseudo Platanus Cedrus Deodara Carpinus Betulus Fagus Sylvatica  Salix x Chrysocoma Alnus Pendula Eucalyptus Camadulensis Fagus Pendula 4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM

the size of the plant and the main point of view.  In fact, the points of light should always be placed along the path in a spiral, which  develops according to the golden ratio.  To avoid glare, the light beam must never be pointed towards the point of observation.

Trees with similar shapes can have different graphic personalities: dynamic, static, mobile or other.  The screens for 4Seasons luminaires (Kit Shadow) are designed according to gra-phic personality to obtain the best light and shadow effects for the specific tree.  On the following sheets, there are a few para-meters and typical personalities. DYNAMIC CONSTANT MOBILE CALM OUTGOING 3 - THE GRAPHIC PERSONALITY AND THE USE OF SCREENS Besides the shape and size, a natural element also has a graphic personality that can be emphasized with shadowing. Screens of the 4Seasons luminaires create a wide range of effects by combining light and dark, which transforms the lighting layout to tailor it to the personality of the natural element. 4Seasons has several screens designed to bring out some typical personalities.  However, the screens can be used as desired, to discover creative new effects and generate new sensations.  206 4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM

Luminaires To order a complete product it is necessary to choose a luminaire, a light source and the number of screens necessary for each lumi-naire: 5 for Deco, 2 for Box and 3 for Cut. One or more screens can be blind. An anti-vandalism grate, Grill, can be mounted in place of the screens. The code to order a complete product is formed by indicating the codes for each element selected in sequence. The order in which the screens are listed in the order code determines their position, using the order code method described beside. The luminaires, screens and accessories of the 4Seasons systems are made with high quality materials with high resistance to wear and tear and to corrosion (aluminium, glass, stainless steel).
