The aim of the "Solar Loop" is to expose
more surface as possible to the southern solar rays. The shape comes directly
from the solar diagrams, and deals easily with the sun following it with the best angle almost like a frozen artificial sunflower.
The
aesthetic of the sculpture is the result of this dialogue that becomes synthesis
between the solar power and fresh kills park.
This
landmark will organize the park life inside and outside.
Potentially
it could be thought as a no-dimension element that could be multiplied with
different sizes on the park's needs, to produce energy and living spaces.
Thinking in
small it could be a shader, thinking in big could be an arena to organize medium/big
events inside such as concerts, sports
events, speeches ; ready to be the new
point of reference for the park's visitors.
The "Solar
Loop" is composed by two different surfaces that twist one into the other.
The first one is the photovoltaic surface always exposed to the sun with the
more performances angle, the second is the mirrored surface that reflects all the surrounding to multiply the spectacularity of the landscape as a single either multiple landmark.
The Fresh
kills's East Park is the only most sunny part of the park all the year long,
and the easiest accessed park visually connected with the Manhattan Skyline.
A solar
catalyst, a crowd and cultural catalyst it will be the park's nest.
