关于 Skystation 雕塑长凳

Skystation 是一个互动雕塑，还提供一些公共座位。作品的轮廓旨在适应倾斜的人体形态，并鼓励人们对天空的沉思。它提供的座椅类似于美国宇航局所说的中性身体姿势，即身体在不受重力影响时恢复的形状。 Skystation 创造了一个在公共领域暂停、反思和互动的机会。它的灵感来自形式追随功能的现代主义理念。它具有使陌生人之间的对话几乎不可避免的附带效果。

独特属性: 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.
尺寸与包装: 4100mm x 4100mm x 675mm
标签: Skystation, sculpture, bench, public art, installation, seating
生产技术: 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.
设计挑战: 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.
研究: 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.
灵感: 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.
项目周期: Permanent installation at Canary Wharf, London.
操作流程: 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.
