स्वप्नदृश्यम् (Dreamscape) हांगकांगनगरे K11 Musea इति स्थाने बोहेमियन-उद्याने स्थापितं बहुमाध्यम-संस्थापनम् अस्ति। इदं शिल्पाकृतिरूपं भूमेः उपरि प्लवमानमिव प्रतीयते, नियतान्तरालेषु च धूमिकां (मिस्ट्) विसर्जयति। दूरात् दृश्यमानं स्वप्नदृश्यम् मेघात् उद्भूतं प्रकाशितं श्वेतं कवचमिव लक्ष्यते। समीपे दृष्टे त्रयः चापाः षड्भिः सूक्ष्मपादैः आधृताः भवन्ति, ये भूमिं मृदुतया स्पर्शयन्ति। अन्तः द्विशतपञ्चाशदधिकाः प्रकाशिताः बुद्बुद-दीपाः (bubble lamps) कालनिर्धारित-प्रकाशयोजनानुसारं प्रकाशन्ते। निर्माणसामग्री वातावरणसह्या, स्थिरा लघ्वी च भवति, संरचना च परिवहनार्थं पुनःसंयोजनार्थं च विभक्ता कर्तुं शक्यते।

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Dreamscape is a voluptuous sculptural form that appears to float above the K11 MUSEA Bohemian Garden. It regularly disperses mist, thus, from afar, it appears as an illuminated white shell emerges from a billowing cloud, tempting guests to engage in a relaxing urban misty moment. Up close, three arches are anchored onto six feet that touch the ground lightly, emphasizing an ephemeral shared experience. Once inside, the 250 illuminated bubble lamps are timed to evoke dreaming in a sleeping cloud.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- H2600 x W3500 x D3500 (mm)

- Production Technology
- All materials had to be weatherproof, durable and light for outdoor display. The structure had to be designed for easy disassembly, transportation and reassembly. Placement of the 250+ illuminated bubbles were carefully calibrated so that they are ergonomically friendly while visually appealing. The light programme and wring of bubbles posed another challenge as it had to give the illusion of a sleeping cloud, and work in line with the mist performance that happens every 20 minutes.
- Design Challenge
- Dreamscape serves all ages, so we had to consider how different groups react. Children tend to run underneath, while adults usually prefer to stand and look at it. It had to be safe, and accessible to wheelchairs and walkers. It is open day and night, so we have focused on how different lighting combined with mist can create dissimilar, but mesmerizing experiences. Positioning each bubbles lamp had to be both visually pleasing and ergonomically safe.
- Inspiration
- Dreamscape, is a portmanteau word, blending and combining ‘dream’ and ‘escape’ to encapsulate our commitment to design a pause for busy minds by moving visitors from reality into ambiguity. We hope our playful multi-sensory sculptural design will make visitors dream in another dimension, and that this is more important than ever with the current limits on travel - we want people to imagine and dream the impossible. Dreamscape represents an exciting utopia and freedom, available to all.
- Project Duration
- The installation has been on display since September 2021 until March 2022 in K11 MUSEA, Victoria Dockside, Hong Kong. It will then be transported to other K11 premises around China.
