About The Swan Ko Te Whakairo Toi Whakauru
Ko te hoahoa mahi toi e whakaatu ana i te nekehanga o te swan i runga i te wai - he ahua toru-ahu o te ataahua hihiri. Ka whakamahia e te hoahoa te hangarau hanga 3D ki te hanga i te papatipu wai ma te whakamahi i nga mea kowiri tira. Na te whakamihi o te whakaata mai i te wai me te mata whakarewa orohia, ka tu te mahi toi ki roto i te whenua o te whare karapu, e whakaatu ana he ataahua o nga pihi waro me te kaha.

- Unique Properties
- The artwork design expresses the movement of a swan on water – a three-dimensional form of dynamic beauty.
The design uses 3D fabrication technology to create the fluid massing using stainless steel material. With the compliment of reflections from water and polished metal surface, the artwork stands out as a masterpiece within the landscape of the clubhouse, showcasing as a beauty of organic curves and strength. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Size of the sculpture is 2800mmx2800mm

- Production Technology
- The sculpture is made by 3D fabrication technology to create the fluid massing using stainless steel material.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge of the project is the mainly the structural design part. Since the sculpture form is inclined towards the back with only a minimal footing to support the mass on top, careful calculation is needed to minimize the depth of foundation, while making the structure stable enough to support the sculpture on top. Another challenge is the fabrication process. Since the sculpture rings are made of individual buildings in radial form, we have to unfold each radial building piece from the ring into a flat surface for lazercut. The pieces are then weld back onto the ring and polished by hand to give the mirror finish.
- Research
- We have researched the the beauty of a swan using parametric design approach ,overall form and composition before we finalized the sculpture design.
- Inspiration
- The Swan is a stainless steel sculpture that expresses the beauty of a swan using parametric design approach. The sculpture displayed a dynamic form with varying shape on 360 degree. When viewers walked pass by the full-height glass hallway, one can enjoy the dynamic flow of the sculpture which mimic the organic movement of a swan stretching its wings over the water. The engraved lines on the sculpture highlights its fluidity.
- Project Duration
- located at the clubhouse of Solaris in Hong Kong. The artwork is commissioned by K. Wah Group
- Operation Flow
- the sculpture to be an interact art expresses the beauty of a swan using parametric design approach. The sculpture displayed a dynamic form with varying shape on 360 degree. When viewers walked pass by the full-height glass hallway, one can enjoy the dynamic flow of the sculpture which mimic the organic movement of a swan stretching its wings over the water.
