About Conch Tlhomamiso ya Setšhaba
The Conch e kopanya botle ba tlhaho le nepahalo ya dipalo, e nang le sekululuko sa Fibonacci se elliptical se tshwanang le konkhe, letshwao la bosakhutleng, kapa nota ya mmino. E hlophisitswe ka software ya parametric, e entswe ka dikarolo tse 30 tsa diringe tsa tshipi tse elliptical tse beakantsweng ka nepo bakeng sa sebopeho se bobebe, se nang le morethetho. Diphaephe tsa metsi tse patiloeng mothating di bopa leswiswi le patiloeng bogareng ba setshwantsho. E emela kgolo ya tlhaho le phallo ya matla a bokgabane, sekululuko see se susumetsa ho nahanisisa ka dipalo, tlhaho, le botle, se tokafatsa maemo a ditoropo ka letshwao le tebileng le bohlokwa ba setso.
About the Moputso oa Platinamo oa A' Design Award
Conch Tlhomamiso ya Setšhaba ke mohapi oa Moputso oa Platinamo oa A' Design Award, kananelo e hlomphehang haholo e fuoang meralo e ikhethang ka sebele, e ntle le e khanyang. Bahapi ba Platinamo ke limakatso tsa boqapi, bopaki ba meeli ea boqapi ba kelello, mme ba bontša botsebi bo sa lekanngoeng le bohlale ba baqapi ba bona. Meralo ena e lebelletsoe ho ba mesebetsi e tsebahalang haholo e hlalosang botle ba nako, e kenyang letsoho bophelong bo botle ba sechaba mme e sutumelletsang meeli ea bonono, mahlale, moralo le theknoloji.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The "Conch" installation blends nature's beauty and math, employing Fibonacci spirals reminiscent of conchs, infinity symbols, or musical notes. Concealed nozzles create arcs, extending natural curves into the pool, enhancing vertical space. The spiral symbolizes nature's vitality, epitomizing the Fibonacci sequence, inviting viewers on a journey of nature and math. Celebrating mathematical rhythm, nature's splendor, and human creativity, it prompts contemplation of math, nature, and aesthetics.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The overall size specification of the sculpture is 2m * 1.7m * 3.2m.

- Production Technology
- "The conch" uses the rich composition formed by a single material and form element in space to interpret the beauty of profound natural laws. Through the simulation of parametric software, the 30 elliptical metal rings are stacked layer by layer in a step-by-step manner according to specific angles and heights, and the thickness also gradually becomes thinner from thick, so that the structure is more stable and easy to fix, and the form also appears to be more lightweight and full of rhythmic changes. The metal rings at different angles are connected by welding, and finally the whole is polished so that it can reflect the rich ambient light. At the same time, a water pipe is cleverly hidden in the relatively thick metal ring at the bottom, and this water pipe extends to the middle position of the sculpture, and then forms a small fountain device.
- Design Challenge
- Although "Conch" is a theme with a very concrete concept, we hope to present the abstract form with the beauty of nature and mathematics here by means of modern visual language, so as to make it a landscape sculpture with a humanistic theme in the city. Visitors can observe different forms from different angles, which can arouse people's curiosity about nature and mathematics. In the production process of the sculpture, the metal rings must first go through computer simulation calculation, and then be precisely cut by using a CNC machine according to the design drawings, only in this way can it be ensured that the transition between different metals presents a natural and smooth state.
- Research
- The creation of the entire sculpture depends on computer parametric design. The rotation angle and height of each component are accurately calculated through mathematical formulas. The application of parametric not only can conduct intuitive simulation of the shape and style, but also can achieve accurate cutting and positioning of the joints between the metal rings in the future construction process, and can present the final visual effect and the details to be noted during construction at the early stage of design.
- Inspiration
- The Conch art installation merges natural aesthetics with math in urban environments, inspiring reflection on natural patterns and their mathematical roots. Dynamic elliptical components create visually captivating structures, evolving with perspective shifts. It fosters appreciation for mathematical harmony in nature and urban design, offering contemplative space. Its modern yet timeless design ensures lasting impact.
- Project Duration
- This project started to be designed and produced in October 2022, and was completed in Xiamen in November 2022.
- Operation Flow
- This sculpture attracts and firmly grasps the end users through its unique shape, beautiful geometric aesthetics and flowing fountain design. The diverse shape attracts people's curiosity and desire for exploration. And the fountain design adds a flowing dynamic and vitality to the installation, making it more eye-catching and attractive in the urban landscape.
