About Skybow Sculpture emblématique

Skybow est une sculpture emblématique conçue pour le bourg de Wuyou, dans la ville de Yan, province du Jiangsu. Sa forme s'inspire de la topographie locale, qui évoque un arc, la rivière Chuanchang en constituant la poignée et le ruisseau Pearl la corde. La structure principale adopte la silhouette d'un arc tendu afin d'exprimer la détermination et le courage. Les motifs en relief qui ornent la surface composent un totem culturel. L'anneau intérieur du cheminement piétonnier est gravé de la chronologie historique du bourg. Un éclairage, un rideau d'eau et des jeux de lumière en mouvement viennent parachever l'ensemble.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: By collecting information on Wuyou Town, analyzing the topography and exploring the cultural heritage of the site, we aim to create a new landmark. The conceptual design for the architectural landmark sculpture is based on the unique topography of Wuyou, shaped like a 'bow.' The bow-shaped structure also represents Wuyou's constant readiness, like a drawn bow, poised and ready to move forward with courage.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1910*1360*1780cm
Tags: Ancient Town Landmark, Cultural Landmark, Digital Content, Public Art, Architectural Landmark Sculpture
Production Technology: SketchUp, Rhino, Grasshopper, Mapping, Lighting Installation, Water Curtain
Design Challenge: Choosing an appropriate location to build a landmark requires meeting four simultaneous conditions: at the entrance of the ancient town, near a prominent building, along the skyline that traverses the town's millennia-old history, and adjacent to a small riverside lawn.
Inspiration: Wuyou resembles a bow, with Chuanchang River forming the bow handle, stretching from the north to the south of Ji Town. The Pearl Creek, abundant in pearls, represents the bowstring, and the East-West Street acts as the arrow resting on the string. This unique topographical feature exclusive to Wuyou creates the concept of the 'Skybow,' with the main structure taking the form of a bow, symbolizing Wuyou's poised and courageous stance, akin to a drawn bow ready to release.
Project Duration: Yan City, Jiangsu Province
Operation Flow: The relief design on the main structure's surface forms a symbolic cultural totem, inheriting and promoting the culture of Wuyou. The innermost ring of the pedestrian walkway is engraved with the historical timeline of Wuyou's development, creating a culturally immersive atmosphere and adding an interactive element to the sculpture. The interplay of light and shadow, water curtain, and rainbow flowing lights, against the backdrop of Wuyou's historical timeline, weaves a fascinating and insightful narrative. Viewers can actively engage and step into this world, as if walking through the inspiring journey of Wuyou's development.
