About Evolve 17 彫刻
Evolve 17は、企業本社のエグゼクティブ・アトリウムのために制作された吊り下げ式の彫刻である。本作は高さ7000mm、幅1200mm、重量250キログラムのプリズム状の柱である。Evolve 17は161個の固有のパーツから構成され、ダイクロイックアクリル、ステンレススチール、アルミニウム、ミラーを用い、LED照明と自然光を組み合わせている。ダイクロイックパネルは視点によって異なる色を見せるため、鑑賞者が柱の周囲を歩くにつれて色彩が移り変わる。特注のアルミニウム製ヒンジにより、各パネルは回転し、任意の角度で固定することができる。

- 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.
