KINETIC ART is an expression of perpetual movement that is perceivable by the motion for its effect. KINETIC SCULPTURE, which is a construct of kineticism as a mechanic design showcase may become a miniature of a full scale dynamic structure; the KINETIC FOLLY.
THE CHALLENGE >>
Produce 6 prototypes of a KINETIC FOLLY within a given parameter.
The KINETIC FOLLY design would be constructed as a KINETIC SCULPTURE display in the KINETIC LAB at IBIC project.
The actual size of the KINETIC FOLLY will be used as part of the program to shape the physical setting of the IBIC green park to fulfill its mission as a venue for the expression of art, design and technology in the public education programs.
FOLLY INSIGHT...
...an example of a static folly...
....how to make it kinetic?
DESIGN PARAMETERS >>
> design a vertical KINETIC FOLLY within a setting of 20m x 15m flat site adjacent to a full height wall (20m x 20m);
> the KINETIC FOLLY shall be design as a 15 meter height structure on a 5m x 5m square base wihin a 960 cubic meter (8m x 8m x 12m height) volumetric limit;
> the KINETIC FOLLY must have a form, space and order in design;
> the main structure of the KINETIC FOLLY must be constructed in a modular and prefabricated solution;
> material for the KINETIC FOLLY shall become a showcase representation of the appreciation of construction materials;
> all kinetic mechanism shall be confined within the structure of the folly.
