kinetic architectural shadow projection - wildetecture


to create my series of new buildings i created a new point of departure for myself - what if the design went way beyond its obvious function. and we created an over and above concept or task for the design to acheive.

case study 3 - shadow projections on muizenberg beach using designed for shadow purpose building landscapes-proposed erxell development 1.


what if the focus of the design was to create a shadow of a ball that moved along the beach as the sun se during a few summer months. this would create structures and shapes that would evolve from this exercise. it would change our inherited box like thinking and create a series of shapes not yet seen. the shadow process will determine the outcome of the buildings shape.
