About Hitobito Ionad Ealaine

Is ionad ealaine é Hitobito a cruthaíodh don fhéile lóchrann a bhí ar siúl i gCathair Taipei in 2023. Tarraingíonn an struchtúr inspioráid ón gcarachtar Síneach don duine, atá comhdhéanta de dhá bhall a thacaíonn lena chéile. Cumascann dhá bhealach isteach bheaga isteach in aon spás mór amháin, áit a gcaitheann teilgeoir ag an lár grafaicí gluaisne ar an talamh. Tá an fráma píopa cruach atá lúbtha de láimh clúdaithe le dúbailíní bambú atá céad milliméadar ar leithead, ag ceangal fíodóireacht traidisiúnta na hÁise le struchtúr tionsclaíoch. Tomhaiseann an t-ionad 9.8 méadar ar leithead, 7.8 méadar ar doimhneacht agus 3.5 méadar ar airde.
