Sun Panel Sculpture, the Earth Sculpture and the Tower
place of communication = city of transformation
STATEMENT:
The language of nature is the language of people.
Each kind of life (form) also has a (technical) function.
The topography of Abu Dhabi is formed by the gravitational rhythm of the tide's
ebb and flow.
Natural space and urban space are interconnected in a unique choreography of
the elements earth, water, sun and air.
In the GRAVITATION project a choreography of the tides emerges from the
arabesque movements of the Earth Sculpture.
Water channels that mark the Earth's surface offer habitats for countless living
species. Small, raised, dune-like formation provide a natural environment for
green vegetation.
Among the elements that coexist with the natural tidal arena, the surrounding
sun panels constitute a triangle that visually connects water and Earth.
The sun panels rotate like sunflowers, tracking the sun.
The electricity thus produced can be used by the local population for diverse
purposes.
A spiral-shaped tower (the vertical wood structure to the side) connects sky and
Earth and provides an opportunity for visitors to observe the entire surrounding
landscape in all directions from above.
The chaos aesthetic of the macro and micro life elements and the
juxtaposed new urban aesthetic of the sun panels have a mutually
heightening effect.
