About Core Funzjoni Primarja: Skultura tad-Dawl Kinetika

Test tal-Ktieb: Core hija skultura tad-dawl kinetika ffurmata bħal pigna. Core inħolqot għal Kawabata Intcraft, uffiċċju tal-pulizija ta' stil Ġappuniż li għandu 84 sena f'Taipei. L-iskultura hija ffurmata minn 87 werqa tal-bronż li bil-mod jinfetħu u jingħalqu permezz ta' mekkaniżmu intern. Il-moviment kalm jixbah in-nifs u jagħti lill-bini storiku sens ta' ħajja. Core tinżel minn saqaf għoli 'l fuq minn taraġ a spirali, sabiex il-viżitaturi jaraw l-iskultura minn angoli li jinbidlu hekk kif jitilgħu t-taraġ. Id-dawl proġettat jinbidel ma' kull ċiklu.

Unique Properties
Core is a kinetic light sculpture in the shape of pine cone made for Kawabata Intcraft, an 84-year-old Japanese-style police office. The copper leaves on the surface slowly open and close through inner mechanical structures. At the same time, the breathing-like movement transforms the building into a living body, symbolizing a breathing heart. To present the harmony of movement and light, different materials were combined and various types of mechanism were designed. Core, as a showcase of creators' exquisite craftmanship, is not only a form representation of nature but also the living symbol of architecture.

Production Technology
Core is made out of 87 unique brass pieces, this project greatly relies on precise mechanical engineering. Each part is detailed crafted in collaboration with a self-made CNC machine. All parts are completed after incessant modifications and improvements on materials, fabrication, and lighting.
Design Challenge
To resemble the opening and closing states of pine cones, the reciprocating screws were used to trigger 12 central structures and connect 87 brass leaves to express the dynamic movement and contraction.
Inspiration
The purpose of this project is to study the relationship between artistic sculpture and historical building. When we learned that the building was supposed to be demolished but actually preserved, we hoped to bring it back to life in an artistic way. The concept and name "Core" was born accordingly, in the shape of pine cone to resembles eternity.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2020 in Taiwan, Taipei and finished in January 2021. It is now permanently exhibited in Kawabata Intcraft.
Operation Flow
This project is placed on a high ceiling directly above the spiral staircase.
Going up from the base floor, the viewer will be looking up at the artwork and then to the eye-level angle, creating rich perspectives and interaction. With regular opening and closing of the artwork, the projected light makes the entire space feel like breathing deeply.
