BIO

VECTORFLOW is designed to define a new public node in Duncan Plaza and to offer attraction points within the open space of the park. Five canopies aggregated to create a cluster within a larger field are coded in red to attract citizens and in order to make the intervention visible and recognizable from different points of arrival to the park. Etched metal surfaces inscribed within the circular canopies provide shade and light effects during the day. At night lights are activated to dematerialize and transform the canopies into responsive nodes able to render the dynamics of occupation of the plaza throughout the day. The intervention acts as a system able to constantly trigger and monitor the flow of pedestrians through the park at varying times of the day. The sensor-based system receives data input from pedestrians passing by or people inhabiting the space. Data triggered by motion sensors are translated into dynamic LED light display which in return through intensity, color, movement and information display influences how citizens occupy and interact with the park. Through this citizens are offered the opportunity for engagement while being exposed to underlying urban systems that in return can initiate desire for change while enabling space to be dynamic. The contextual changes rendered by the lighting strategy become an active, real-time transformation to the physical space while offering a permanent public node for meeting and gathering.
