Synthetic Sun
This design project attempts to create
projected filtered UVB light filtered spaces within cities.
A flock of Polychrastalline solar cells
suspend the Ozone detection pod over the city of London. The solar
cells use Photovoltaics to convert light into electrical voltage
which is stored in the Carbon fibre Silicium composite Ozone
detection pod's frame, this triggers the motor pod's motor which
controls Parabolic mirrored bands that reflect light in through the
pod's holographic glass sphere refracting it back out as a filtered
source of sunlight with reduced harmful UVB radiation. The pod is
made form strengthened high-density glass, the glass shape allows for
a rainbow effect due to its ability to diffract light.
This projected
artificial light source can be controlled to alter its luminance
mimicking summer Sunlight, the pod acts as a public gathering space
whereby the individual experiences the transition from real to
virtual using natural light projections. The pod’s design uses
reflections and glimpses of the city in an attempt to define multiple
horizon lines, this disorientation suggests a non-hierarchy and
continuously altering relationship with the changing physical context
dictated by the Ozone detection pod.
An architecture of multiple horizon
lines, a non-hierarchy and altered relationship with the changing
physical context.
The pods alter actual physical space by
creating illusions using light projections, they also create mirages
using temperature changes and light to diffract and reflect the city
redefining the environment into which we can re-appropriate offering
new design contexts and criteria into which to design.
The pods are suspended from existing
building and dotted around the River Thames, they simulate a flock of
birds in orientation which collectively gather enough light energy to
choreograph the Ozone detection pods and their parabolic mirror
movements. The pod’s movement is controlled by an increase of
harmful UVB light rays which trigger a reed switch within the pod
completing the electrical circuit that moves mirrors in order to
reflect, refract and filter as much natural light as possible.
