Pendulum Plane
卒業設計でお世話になったインストラクターの作品が完成。BH がコンサルティングしています。私は担当ではなかったけれども、構造事務所にいると sci-arc の先生や先輩と仕事をする機会があるのも楽しみのひとつです。
Aug/29 (Fri). Opening event for OylerWu Collaborative's Pendulum Plane at the LA Forum's new Gallery on Hollywood Blvd.
LA Forum hosted a competition in spring 2008 to design a display system for future exhibitions. In the open gallery space, 16 welded aluminum units are suspended from the ceiling and each allows wall and mid-room display by pivoting down hinged frames. If you grab one of the hanging frames, you can see the unit sway in counter-balance. In the network of aluminum, I liked the use of 2-inch and 1-inch diam pipes. This choice of material creates fine appearance.
Those complicated shapes are produced not by professional aluminum fabricators, but by the team of OylerWu Collaborative and sci-arc students. I was amazed at their level of craftsmanship once again since their previous exhbition, Density Field.
