About Flaming Bloom Art Gazebo
Flaming Bloom is an art gazebo placed in a public park in Guangzhou. The structure takes the shape of a large flower and shields pedestrians from strong sunlight. Rising five meters high, the flower forms a gate that visitors can walk through. The dome is built from twisted stainless steel units developed for the project. One face of each unit is a mirror surface and the other face is painted red. The curved mirrors reflect the surrounding scenery, so the reflected images change as visitors move around and through the gazebo.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Flaming Bloom is an artistic resting gazebo to shield pedestrians from the intense sunlight. And so the Shape of a flower is also as a symbol. In order to show the natural ecological growth details. The team has specially developed the twisted unit pieces and their plating process. As the twisted mirrors reflect the scenery in three dimensions from the curved surfaces, the eco-dome made up of curved units mirrors the illusion as visitors move and travel through it.
- Production Technology
- In order to show the details of natural ecological growth, the GOGAR team deliberately developed a twisted unit element and its electroplating process. Since the twisted mirror surface is in a three-dimensional space, it will reflect the scenery by curved surfaces. With the displacement and shuttle of visitors, the ecological dome composed of curved units will also reflect each other.
- Design Challenge
- The Flaming Bloom installation is an artwork for the public space. It is also an art gazebo. In this project we try to use an "DNA" element. This DNA element should be mechanized product. It has two side finishing.One is Mirror steel surface, the other is red painted. And we have invent a new processing technic to produce them. Besides the process there applied for a patent.
- Inspiration
- In Lingnan, the city Guangzhou is also known as the "City of Flowers". Gogar creates a large flower for the project New Park in Guangzhou Lingnan New World. The surrounding scenery is reflected in the spiral stainless steel; as moving around the sculpture, the reflected images are flowing and changing. The flower blooms as the shape of the gate with 5-meter height, through the "gate", people are into a new world.
