A prepaus de Skystation Banc Sculptural

Skystation es una escultura interactiva que fornís tanben de sètis publics. Los contorns de l'òbra son concebuts per s'adaptar a la fòrma umana reclinada e favorir la contemplacion del cèl. L'assetar que proferis es similar a çò que la NASA apèla Neutral Body Posture, que es la forma que lo còrs retròba quand es liure de l'influéncia de la gravitat. Skystation crea una ocasion de pausa, de reflexion e d'interaccion dins l'espaci public. Es inspirada per l'idèa modernista que la fòrma seguís la foncion. A per efièch incidental de rendre las conversacions entre desconeguts gaireben inevitablas.

Proprietats Unicas: Skystation is an interactive sculpture that also provides some public seating. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human form and encourage contemplation of the sky.
The seating it provides is similar to what NASA calls Neutral Body Posture, which is the shape the body returns to when free from the influence of gravity. Skystation creates an opportunity for pause, reflection and interaction within the public realm. Conversations between strangers are almost inevitable.
Dimensions e Embalatge: 4100mm x 4100mm x 675mm
Etiquetas: Skystation, sculpture, bench, public art, installation, seating
Tecnologia de Produccion: Cast aluminium bronze, brushed satin finish.
Six segments were sand cast and precision cut, to align together on a stainless steel sub-structure. Assembled together on site.
Desaffo de Dissènh: To realise the design as a permanent installation required production in a material that would last a long time and was in keeping with the aesthetic of the work.
Aluminium bronze is a material used in the marine environment due to its resistance to corrosion and seems fitting in redeveloped wharf of London.
A golden disk also has a symbolic association with the sun and the sky going back to antiquity.
The colour introduces a warm tone among the cool steel that characterises the district.
Recèrca: Real world research was done with life size seating profiles, tested by a large number of volunteers, to be as comfortable as possible to a wide range of people lying down.
The chosen profile was then spun through 360 degrees and refined into a sculpture form.
Fibreglass prototypes of the finished sculpture were installed in various public locations. This has shown the positive impact of introducing an interactive sculpture into the pubic realm. It appeals to all ages and serves as a place-making element and encourages social interaction.
Inspiracion: Inspired by the LC4 chaise-longue, by Le Corbusier, Perriand and Jeanneret and the modernist idea of form follows function.
Looking upwards is inherently optimistic, and something akin to thinking about the future. Cognitive research suggests we do our best thinking lying down.
Durada del Projècte: Permanent installation at Canary Wharf, London.
Flux Operacional: The sculpture can be used for sitting and lying down by up to 12 people. Although designed with adults in mind, children find the most inventive ways to interact with the shape.
