RESPONSIVE SPACES:

BUBBLES

Credit : FoxLin

Type : Visual + Kinetic

Description :

Bubbles is an adaptable spatial pneumatic in-

stallation at an urban scale. The installation will con-

sist of large pneumatic volumes that inate and deate

in reaction to the visitors coming to the site. If unoc-

cupied the volume of the site is slowly lled by the spa-

tially distributed sacks creating a translucent bubble

translucent inll. If approached the section the visitor

is closest to deates offering a pathway into the instal-

lation. More activity opens up the space more making

it navigable. A ramp allows visitors to move up into thespace and be completely surrounded by bubbles, and

also serves as an observation platform for the interior

space below during lectures and gatherings.

The installation aims at bringing the sense of

an adapting volumetric sense of architecture to the in-

stallations site that is compelling for its ever-changing

form and response to visitors. The changes suggesta life like yet somewhat mechanistic space creature

occupying the space. The installation tackles volume

over surface, interaction with space over static geom-

etry and pushes the scale of interactive architecture.

Ideologically, the installation builds upon the legacy of

the late-sixties counter-cultural immaterial architec-

ture and art installations of the Utopie group, who wereinspired in their time by Guy Debord and the Situation-

ists. Now the technology of our times has caught up

with the goals of this airy socio-political revolution.

through the installation, they bump the bubbles rang-

ing from 6 to 8 in diameter that ll the lower layer of

the space. Sensors in the bubbles cause a fan in the

manifold to transfer air to the bubble directly above.

Single manifolds connect pairs of bubbles

Analysis :

The virtue of this project is that FoxLin used

light and kinetic at the same time. In addition, Bubbles

was installed abandon or unused space. By this instal-

lation, unused space reactivated as new public space.

Physically, original space was not changed, but one

installation changed the characteristic as animated

space.
