BRIEF
A Gateway to New York -Daniel Libeskind
D
The memorial’s waterfall goes to the bottom where the victims of 9/11 lost their lives. It is made visible to the public . It documents the day. People have a sense of verticality of the depth of the event. Five tall buildings echoes in the positioning, in the grid as a spiral form at the 1world trade centre. The tower of the 1 World Trade Cewntre has a symbolic height of 1776 – declaration of independence. Libeskind’s desgin inspirations: • Create a space that has never existed before • A space we’ve never entred except our mind and our spirit • Architecture is not based on concrete, steel and elements of the soil. • Architecture is based on wonder. • It is a story, told by hard materials. • A story struggles against impossibilities.

Dresden’s Military History Museum / Daniel Libeskind
The ‘killing’ of the ancient building. The extension dramatically slices the 135 year old original museum through centre, destroy the building’s symmetry and masses with an open and transparent glass façade, revealing some parts of the original building through opacity. It metaphors the openness and exciting new German democracy society pushes the severe authoritarian past. Libeskind’s design gave ‘life’ to the almost-abandoned-museum. It invites people to examine violent German past and experience the hope & courage and passion for peace.
Daniel Libeskind is one of the most successful and well-known architects in the world of the present. With Polish-Jewish descent, he often deals with designs that evolves a sensitive topic and a complex mix of different emotions such as his most famous project = Jewish Museum Berlin. Libeskind is a radical and expressionist. His designs often attracts critics’ discussion. But as he believes, architecture should be risky, vibrant, unexpected and create critics. His projects always involves history, culture, existing site and a specific group of community, which is what the Wyndham City Gateway Project is about. Every Libeskind design is unique and surprising with no trace of presidents to be found though many of them are to deal with similar topics. People cannot forget the buildings he has made and they have become the landmarks of the cities., which is how the art instalment needs to be

Design Approach Attributed to the brief of the Gateway Project - Memorable:
- Complexity:
• not only remembered by Wyndham City but also • it represents Wydham not just in terms of makes Wyndham remembered by the rest, the spatial complexity - City, Country, Coast, but passing-bys, the never-beens. also the complexity of our thoughts, mind • should not be recognised from any preceding experiences. art instalment should mirror that designs. complexity - Communicative:
- Hands:

• Make computer respond to our design, not design respond to computer technology

- Inexplicable

“I wanted to create a bold interruption, a fundamental dislocation, to penetrate the historic arsenal and create a new experience. The architecture will engage the public in the deepest issue of how organized violence and how military history and the fate of the city are intertwined.” —Daniel Libeskind, 2012

DESIGN FOCUS AND CRITERIA
• SITE CRITERIA - viewed from a car at 100km -able to be understood quickly -interesting profile from afar -low maintenance once installed -exciting and eye-catching -visible at night -focus sunset and drive from Melbourne to Wyndham • RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURE -using data relating to the site and inhabitants relying on depth in parametric relations -emergence as a possible form generator -growth of structure as you drive emphasising movement -kinetic architecture -possible data collection: weather climate: light/ cameras: movement -design re-forum -public projection -installation of projectors on site to show realtime movement
1.1.4. Case
• PROJECT CRITERIA -create an identity for the city (Wyndham) -relate and interacts with the community • PUBLIC ART - Use public art as a way to connect and involve the community, to make a statement, • introduce the broader community to the concept of parametric design • PARAMETERS -views from the car -direction of light and wind (as a way of interacting with the site) -landscape - data collected from Wyndham city. Motto: city, coast, country (halfway zone). Creating three interlinked zones -relate to cars moving by - data collection over three months with accompanying simulation -either questions relating to the three zones or the same data collected from three zones fabrication: - varying size apertures

Light Installation K73 The structure was created with use of 520m (130x4m) of protective corrugated pipe and one hdtv projector, creating functional low resolution holographic display (L:2,5m W:1,7 H:4,8m). Animation shown was inspired by elements and physical phenomenons. A short story contained visual interpretations of liquids behaviour, light interferences and simple geometries. It become a main point and attractor located in the centre of an old factory hall and for the one night it interacted with our guests. That inspired out design of using multiple simple logitutional beams to create dramatic affects by the manipulation of colour lightings driven by parametric datas.

The construction is based on a three-dimensional distortion of a plane which is defined through a multiplication of two different triangles. The elements are CNC cut out of sheets of polyethylene (PELD) with only 5% of material waste and subsequently thermoformed in a mould. The elements are connected into a plane which is then distorted into an irregular three-dimensional form which divides the space into several levels. When its final form is defined and constructed, several layers of video

CO2LED Solar-Powered Public Art Installation Also Installed on the traffic island between two streets, this environmental public art project promotes sustainability by installing 522 solar powered LED lights on rods each topped with a reused plastic bottle. This simple design creates an interesting illusion, both during the day and night. By studying the materials being used in this excellent example, especially for the rods, we can figure out what materials are suitable for our Gateway project proposal. Need to consider material costs, construction difficulty, lighting effects etc.
sINE CURVES
Inspired by the CO2LED Powered Art Installation we experimented with creating an undulating floating light installation that not only follows the contour but also create a theatrical experience. As it is going to be viewed for less than one minute by the driving - passes, taking advantage of the longitutinal direction of the site contour is important. There for we decided to use Sin graph to create the base geometry for the variation of the rod heights.
ONE ROLL
Achieving desired effects by shifting and layering multiple simple Sin graphs as seen on the left.
Variation of heights: FOUR ROLLS
The faviation of heights were determined by maximum and minimum average viewing angles from a a car - 1 to 5 metres above the ground
Layering the rolls of rods TEN ROLLS
One important aspect that we needed to take into consideration with layering the rods is the balance between rational the aesthetic effect of randomness being viewed from different angles. whilst still keep in rational orders - being able to see the undullating shape. Here, as shown in the pictures on the left, we explored the outcomes of layer one, four and ten rolls of rods; and how to shift the rolls to create a affect desired.

RIENMENTATION
PATTERNS From the photos I think: • We should be considering a coloured plastic that is more on the translucent side- if you can see through at all in normal light it is too transparent. Look at the materials tested photo- the purple tube with the paper round it was successful the blue bottle was not. • White/forsted doesn’t produces as interesting light. The light is more evenly distributed and so they look kinda like a standard florescent tube. • The short poles will also light the ground, this will not happen for the taller poles. Compare image IMG_2446 and P1010604 • Printed patterns could enhance the light • I produced the coloured light by shining the torch through the coloured strips on a sports girl bag. Some colour (e.g. red) seem to be inherently more dominant.

a flyer we made to demonstrate to you how well the abstract imagery of Sea of Lights can be integrated into various contexts.
• • In the poster, each light beam represents an aspect of Wyndham City, such as edu-
cation, art, sports, entertainments, health etc., and they dissolve into one big idea of Wyndham community.
• • The flyer we made for promoting creative art studies organized by Wyndham City
council has the iconic floating like illuminating lights that Sea of Lights appear to be at night on the bottom as a symbol of the flow of art and inspiration.
