O dizajnu Kwsa Kinetički zid

Kwsa je kinetička zidna instalacija smještena u Aramco inovacionom centru u Rijadu. Djelo pokriva 209 kvadratnih metara i sastoji se od šest modularnih zidova, svaki širine 6000 mm i visine 7000 mm. Kretanje se proizvodi pomoću 20.000 koračnih motora koji pokreću prilagođeni sistem navojnih vretena i poluga s preciznošću od 0,1 mm. Komponente izrađene od samopodmazujućih tehnopolimera ne zahtijevaju podmazivanje i omogućavaju pristup s prednje strane radi održavanja. Koreografirane sekvence kreiraju se iz videa u sivim tonovima, gdje vrijednosti svjetline određuju stepen kretanja.

Tehnologija proizvodnje
The installation features a custom lever-based motion system powered by high-helix lead screws and 20,000 stepper motors. Motion is controlled by cross-shaped PCBs integrated in the chassis. Components are made of self-lubricating technopolymers. Production involved advanced CAD simulation, CNC machining, precision adhesive bonding tools, and an automated QA pipeline for centesimal repeatability.
Dizajnerski izazov
A key challenge was ensuring sub-millimeter precision across six modular walls while maintaining silent, front-accessible operation. Custom electronics, motion systems, and mounting structures had to be developed under tight deadlines and Oil & Gas safety standards. Additional complexity came from the need to coordinate with other installations in the space, requiring both mechanical and digital integration from early design stages.
Istraživanje
This applied research aimed to develop a precise and low-maintenance kinetic system for architectural use. The team used CAD simulations, structural analysis, CNC machining, and real-time testing to refine the mechanism. The outcome included a self-lubricating motion system and a control protocol managing 20,000 motors. The result supports scalable, synchronized motion for integration in complex multimedia environments.
Inspiracija
The design was inspired by the need to create a dynamic architectural feature that integrates naturally with other interactive installations. The objective was to automate motion with high precision while keeping all technology hidden. Every technical decision—from motion control to structural layout—was aimed at achieving visual clarity, acoustic silence, and seamless synchronization within the larger experience.
Trajanje projekta
The project lasted a total of approximately 12 months:
5 months of prototyping, engineering and testing, 2 months on-site setup, 1 month of tuning. Deployment in 2024.
Tok rada
The wall performs choreographed movements that follow pre-programmed sequences, timed with other media in the space. Designers create these sequences using grayscale video inputs, where brightness values determine the degree of motion. A custom 3D simulation tool allows teams to preview and adjust movement in real time, helping to translate visual ideas into physical motion with clarity and control.
