façade moiré
Almelo, The Netherlands
Project Featured on Nov 28, 2014
This project is a plastic wall art facade for a parking garage with 360 parking spaces in the city of Almelo in the Netherlands.
Almelo Township has placed a parking garage between the canal and the railway station with a detachable modular steel structure in the center. This location is the starting point of the art route to the city center along the "long line" (the channel) and forms an important part of the sustainable refurbishment of the public space of the city. The proposal to transform the garage into an art object strengthens the orientation and readability of the city.
The artwork consists of prefabricated, recycled aluminum modules that fit together easily. The base of a module is a rectangle, which can be easily built from triangles. The triangular distribution gives rise to the opening up of the elements to the right open-closed ratio in which light and air entry are guaranteed.
The 3D triangles indicate the work depth, and the plasticity of the object changes through different lighting. Depending on the viewing distance, different effects are created upon the facade, such as mirroring of the metal, distortion of colors (moiré), and varying levels of transparency due to the different degrees of perforation.
