About Evolve 17 Skúlptúr
Evolve 17 er hangandi skúlptúr sem búinn var til fyrir stjórnendaanddyri höfuðstöðva fyrirtækis. Verkið er strendótt súla sem stendur 7000 mm há og 1200 mm breið og vegur 250 kíló. Evolve 17 er byggð úr 161 einstökum hlutum, þar sem notað er tvílitna plexígler, ryðfrítt stál, ál og speglar, ásamt LED-ljósi og sólarljósi. Tvílitnu plöturnar sýna mismunandi liti frá mismunandi sjónarhornum, þannig að litirnir breytast þegar gestir ganga í kringum súluna. Sérsmíðuð állömum gerir hverri plötu kleift að snúast og læsast í völdu horni.

- Production Technology
- Dichroic Plexiglass, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Mirrors, LED's, and Sunlight The dichroic plexiglass, like a quantum particle, can simultaneously exhibit different colors to viewers from different angles. When the observer circles the sculpture the dichroic panels morph between states of colors. The sculpture uses a patent pending hinge made from 5mm water jet aerospace grade aluminum. "The Signal Bracket" offers 330' of rotation and locks in place at the desired angle.
- Design Challenge
- Because the building compress and expands on the top floor due to wind, our design had to both be suspended from the ceiling and simultaneously affixed to the floor.
- Research
- With the triangular polygon as the base shape for both the virtual projection of objects in digital space and the real manifestation of this sculpture, EVOLVE is both a metaphorical and physical bridge between the virtual webs that connect Leido’s to the rest of the world and the physical impact that those webs have in everyday life.
- Inspiration
- We have been stuck with the same Greek columns for 2000 years. I decided to try reinventing a column for the-space age. Evolve17 is a a 23’ color changing kaleidoscopic, that bends light
- Project Duration
- Executive Floor Leidos HQ Reston VA From Now Till 2099
- Operation Flow
- Evolve is a cosmic kaleidoscope that changes colors as viewers walk by. At dawn, Visitors are welcomed in with playful colored shadows that move throughout the day. Evolve is gracefully suspended by aircraft cable, and uses NASA developed dichroic Plexiglas to create a space age feel.
