About River Cloud Igishushanyo cy'Ubuhanzi bwo Hanze

River Cloud ni igishushanyo kinini cy'ubuhanzi bwo hanze cyakozwe mu mbuga y'ahantu nyaburanga i Yubei, Chongqing, mu Bushinwa. Iki gishushanyo gifite metero 8 z'uburebure na metero 30 z'ubugari, kandi cyubatswe hejuru y'inzu iri ku mpinga y'urutare rureba uruzi. Amakadiri y'icyuma arenga 50.000 afite impande nyinshi kandi angana ukundi n'ukundi yahujwe kugira ngo agire ishusho y'igicu kigoramye. Imyenge iri ku buso itanga uburyo bwo kureba umusozi n'uruzi biri hasi. Ikidendezi cy'amazi kidafite ubujyakuzimu bwinshi hamwe n'igikoresho gisohora umwotsi byashyizwe hafi y'iki gikorwa. Amatara agenzurwa n'ikoranabuhanga aha ishusho y'igicu amabara n'imiterere bihinduka nijoro.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: It is a large-scale outdoor design case of an art installation. It is 8 meters high, 30 meters wide and 6 meters deep, located on the roof at the top of the cliff facing the river.
It is demanding to express the image and connotation of the high-end real estate project named after "cloud". With lines, colors, and shapes, the designer creates a cloud form in line with the Oriental aesthetic. Through the interaction of clouds, water, and smoke in the environment, a beautiful space is created.
Dimensions & Packaging: Specification: 8 meters high, 30 meters wide, and depth of meters
Surrounding: Pool/green area of 2,000 square meters
Tags: Cloud, Spatial installation, Landscape, Lighting
Production Technology: More than 50,000 polygonal metal frames of different sizes are connected to each other to create a curved cloud shape. Through the holes in the clouds, one can see the opposite mountain view and the river view at the foot.
The designer arranges a thin pool and a smoke device in the environment of the cloud device, creating Oriental beauty and a sense of advance through the interaction of cloud, water and smoke.
Design Challenge: Clouds have varied colors and shape characteristics, and it is very challenging to represent cloud symbols in architectural form.
As a long-term outdoor installation, the designer chose a large number of different sizes of stainless-steel frames to combine and used hard materials to express the curve characteristics of the clouds.
At the same time, through the use of a number of point-like numerical control light sources, the device at night presents a dynamic effect of light and shadow flow and a crystal clear overall image.
The whole device is simple in material, stable in structure, and easy to maintain. It is a successful attempt to express the cloud symbol.
Research: 1. The cloud form that represented by the metal frame structure.
2. Numerical control lighting to create space device color, texture.
3. The interaction of cloud, water and smoke creates Oriental beauty and a sense of high class.
4. Enhanced commercial value with a space device.
Inspiration: "Cloud" has special aesthetic value and symbolic significance in the East.
In eastern culture, "cloud" contains a spiritual realm of randomness, freedom, harmony, and detachment. And the pursuit of natural nature is regarded as a high spiritual realm.
With lines, colors, and shapes to create a cloud image that can be widely accepted and understood. Viewers perceive the spatial morphological meaning and thoughts of the ever-changing cloud symbols through form, color, and light under the context.
Project Duration: Date of Design Start: 2022.07
Date of Completion: 2022.12
Address: Yubei, Chongqing, China
Operation Flow: In this case, the designer used a variety of interactive relationships to create an ethereal, elegant, and Zen space environment.
The interaction between the sky and the thin water allows the cloud-shaped installation to merge with the sky and the surrounding greenery.
The interaction between the main device and the environmental smoke device makes the cloud-shaped device produce a floating dynamic.
The interaction between the NC light source and the ambient light allows the device to present different textures and color changes in different light environments.
