O Deseño

Sobre Kwsa Muro Cinético

Kwsa é unha instalación de muro cinético situada no Centro de Innovación de Aramco en Riad. A obra cobre 209 metros cadrados e está formada por seis muros modulares, cada un de 6000 mm de ancho e 7000 mm de alto. O movemento prodúcese mediante 20.000 motores paso a paso que accionan un sistema personalizado de fuso de rosca e panca cunha precisión de 0,1 mm. Os compoñentes fabricados con tecnopolímeros autolubricantes non precisan lubricación e permiten o acceso frontal para o mantemento. As secuencias coreografadas créanse a partir de vídeo en escala de grises, onde os valores de brillo definen o grao de movemento.

Tecnoloxía de Produción
The installation features a custom lever-based motion system powered by high-helix lead screws and 20,000 stepper motors. Motion is controlled by cross-shaped PCBs integrated in the chassis. Components are made of self-lubricating technopolymers. Production involved advanced CAD simulation, CNC machining, precision adhesive bonding tools, and an automated QA pipeline for centesimal repeatability.
Reto de Deseño
A key challenge was ensuring sub-millimeter precision across six modular walls while maintaining silent, front-accessible operation. Custom electronics, motion systems, and mounting structures had to be developed under tight deadlines and Oil & Gas safety standards. Additional complexity came from the need to coordinate with other installations in the space, requiring both mechanical and digital integration from early design stages.
Investigación
This applied research aimed to develop a precise and low-maintenance kinetic system for architectural use. The team used CAD simulations, structural analysis, CNC machining, and real-time testing to refine the mechanism. The outcome included a self-lubricating motion system and a control protocol managing 20,000 motors. The result supports scalable, synchronized motion for integration in complex multimedia environments.
Inspiración
The design was inspired by the need to create a dynamic architectural feature that integrates naturally with other interactive installations. The objective was to automate motion with high precision while keeping all technology hidden. Every technical decision—from motion control to structural layout—was aimed at achieving visual clarity, acoustic silence, and seamless synchronization within the larger experience.
Duración do Proxecto
The project lasted a total of approximately 12 months:
5 months of prototyping, engineering and testing, 2 months on-site setup, 1 month of tuning. Deployment in 2024.
Fluxo de Operacións
The wall performs choreographed movements that follow pre-programmed sequences, timed with other media in the space. Designers create these sequences using grayscale video inputs, where brightness values determine the degree of motion. A custom 3D simulation tool allows teams to preview and adjust movement in real time, helping to translate visual ideas into physical motion with clarity and control.
