"Composition of triangles" Temporary installation at Berliner Verlag, Berlin, Germany in cooperation with Berliner Bank and Create Berlin ( www.create-berlin.de ) Numerous triangles, all individual in shape, interact to create one volume. 250 Paper triangles attached with needles
Fredrik has visualized an outcome of the first phase of his PhD study, focusing on geometry and generative design. The structures are to be modular and self-growing. That is, one cannot really predict how the structure will look at the end. The design of each module (one acute and one obtuse Rhombohedron) will lead the assembly in a certain unforeseen direction. Viewing the structures from one exact angle (preferably parallel elevation view) will reveal an aperiodic Penrose pattern (P3)
Finally, I have finished my "Wave table 02"! Glass and aluminium. The shapes of wave ripples have been carved into the glass. You can actually feel the shapes with your hand. Putting an object on it works since the glass plate is mounted upside-down. That is, with the ripples downwards. Now you can watch the floor or your feet as if they're under water. Hope you like it!
Vibration mirror is a shape of water waves as a relief sculpture that you can put on the wall. It is quite fun to see how your mirror reflection gets distorted by the water ripples.
Orion is a constellation that most people recognize. This particular formation of the stars is only visible from earth. Each of its stars is located on an enormous distance from us, ranging from 243 to 1342 light years. This sculpture is a three-dimensional interpretation of the constellation. It visualizes what we might see if we were able to travel around it. The size of the stars (spheres) varies according to light intensity. The proportions of the sculpture are an interpretation of light year distance from earth and the optical distances seen from earth
I made a proposal for a tempporary sculpture that is supposed to be situated in the main harbour of a major European city. It is a gyroscope, with a strong spotlight, which is randomly throwing a beam of light over the city. The movement is driven by the wind, giving a connection between the sea and the city, acting like a light tower
This is a sketch for a transformable space that mixes colours when you walk through the space, looking through the screens. Subtractive colour mixing occurs through using, like in this case, cyan-magenta-yellow.
I will post later, when we've found the perfect glass. Apparently, one has to use really thin sheets, otherwise the refraction is to dense.
Proposal for museum of cultural heritage in Jøssingfjord, Norway 2011. The site is located in a valley of nearly vertical mountains and the aim of the design was to emphasize this unique landscape. Large windows are directed towards selected views, creating a framed image of the immense rocks which are present in all parts of the building. The plan drawing is a rigid grid, from which the windows are extruded and twisted, resulting in a contrast between straight and organic shapes.
Proposal (2011)for museum extension on the peninsula in lake Kuorevesi, Mänttää, Finland. Net floor area: 3000 m², Gross floor area 4700 m². Extension to the existing museum building which will contain the art collection of the Serlachius family, temporary exhibiton spaces, a café, library, archives, offices, storage rooms, and an art conservatory space. All exhibiton spaces have large roof windows only letting in light from the north. A connection to the old building also serves as main entrance and leads directly into the assembly hall, the building’s heart. From there, the visitor walks on a slight slope, following the landscape, to reach all services of the new building. The goal is to create a visual connection between the park and all spaces within the building with the exception of the exhibitions that are solid rectangular blocks, contrasting to the organic structure in which they stand as islands
