SUNPENDULUM
VISION AND ITEMS
|
| by Hofstetter Kurt, 1997 |
space item, Hofstetter Kurt '97 |
| the
sun is public, knowing
no difference between day and night |
–
the sunpendulum must be perpetually accessible in public space – in a defined
architectural space to experience the idea and
concept in the ideal way. |
| the circle | –
the elementary form of the sunpendulum structure and movement – leading
to a pavilion with a circular architectural structure.
|
| intimacy
in the discrete circle
of the screens |
–
parallel to the 12 discrete Time-Eye installations around the earth the
12 Time-Screens should be set up discretely in a circle by having enough
space in relation to each other to create an intimacy between visitor and
screen, in order to be able to dive into the respective time zone.
|
| spiral
shaped inplusion /
radial shaped explosion |
–
the visitors are pulled spirally into the center of the circle of the 12
Time-Screens having all the screens equidistant – Inplusion; at the same
time they may leave the circle radially in all directions – Explosion.
|
| all
the time the light of
all the time |
–
the vision of a shell – to be attracted by the light transmitted from the
12 time zones the shell should be transparent all the time at the same
time there should be no view from inside to outside to experience the light
of the time zones in the ideal way.
|
| the
sun produces all the
necessary energy |
–
the shell should be covered with an iris of solar cells that resembles
an eye directed towards the sky. Receiving the light of the sun, it produces
all the necessary energy
