Imigereranyo

Ibyerekeye Skystation Intebe Yububiko

Skystation nigishushanyo mbonera gitanga kandi ibyicaro rusange. Imiterere yumurimo yagenewe guhuza imiterere yumuntu kandi ikaremesha gutekereza ku kirere. Kwicara itanga birasa nibyo NASA yita Kutagira umubiri udafite aho ubogamiye, nuburyo umubiri ugaruka mugihe udafite imbaraga za rukuruzi. Skystation itanga amahirwe yo guhagarara, gutekereza no gukorana mubice rusange. Byahumetswe nigitekerezo cya modernist form yuburyo bukurikira imikorere. Ifite ingaruka zidasanzwe zo gukora ibiganiro hagati yabatazi byanze bikunze.

Ibyerekeye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Ifeza

Skystation Intebe Yububiko ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cya Ifeza, ishimwe ridasanzwe ry'agaciro gakomeye ritangwa ku bishushanyo byo ku rwego rwo hejuru, byiza kandi bikora ku mutima. Abegukanye Ifeza ni ibihangano by'ubuhanga bukomeye kandi bifite guhanga kwinshi, bigaragaza ubuhanga bwimbitse, impano n'ubushishozi bw'ababihanze. Skystation Intebe Yububiko biteganyijwe ko izaba igihangano cy'icyitegererezo, gifite ubunyamwuga bukomeye n'udushya twimbitse. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye Ifeza ni igihangano kizwi kandi gishimwa, gifasha kugura imbibi z'ubuhanzi, ubumenyi, ubushushanyo n'ikoranabuhanga. Skystation Intebe Yububiko ni igihangano benshi bifuza, gikangura ibyifuzo, gitanga amarangamutima meza kandi gitera igitangaza.

Ibintu Bidasanzwe: Skystation is an interactive sculpture that also provides some public seating. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human form and encourage contemplation of the sky.
The seating it provides is similar to what NASA calls Neutral Body Posture, which is the shape the body returns to when free from the influence of gravity. Skystation creates an opportunity for pause, reflection and interaction within the public realm. Conversations between strangers are almost inevitable.
Ibipimo n'Ipaki: 4100mm x 4100mm x 675mm
Ibibazo Fatizo: Skystation, sculpture, bench, public art, installation, seating
Ikoranabuhanga ryo Guteza Imbere: Cast aluminium bronze, brushed satin finish.
Six segments were sand cast and precision cut, to align together on a stainless steel sub-structure. Assembled together on site.
Ikibazo cy'Ishusho: To realise the design as a permanent installation required production in a material that would last a long time and was in keeping with the aesthetic of the work.
Aluminium bronze is a material used in the marine environment due to its resistance to corrosion and seems fitting in redeveloped wharf of London.
A golden disk also has a symbolic association with the sun and the sky going back to antiquity.
The colour introduces a warm tone among the cool steel that characterises the district.
Ubushakashatsi: Real world research was done with life size seating profiles, tested by a large number of volunteers, to be as comfortable as possible to a wide range of people lying down.
The chosen profile was then spun through 360 degrees and refined into a sculpture form.
Fibreglass prototypes of the finished sculpture were installed in various public locations. This has shown the positive impact of introducing an interactive sculpture into the pubic realm. It appeals to all ages and serves as a place-making element and encourages social interaction.
Ibyatumye Habaho: Inspired by the LC4 chaise-longue, by Le Corbusier, Perriand and Jeanneret and the modernist idea of form follows function.
Looking upwards is inherently optimistic, and something akin to thinking about the future. Cognitive research suggests we do our best thinking lying down.
Igihe cy'Umushinga: Permanent installation at Canary Wharf, London.
Uburyo bw'Imikorere: The sculpture can be used for sitting and lying down by up to 12 people. Although designed with adults in mind, children find the most inventive ways to interact with the shape.
