DESIGN NAME:
ResoNet Pavilion - Sinan Mansions
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Pavilion
INSPIRATION:
Inspired by the resonance frequencies inherent in the natural environment, Creative Prototyping Unit has developed a series of Resonet projects which create physical and ephemeral conditions. The form of Pavilion was inspired by the shape of Jingle Bell which implies visitors to ring the New Year's bell and make wishes. Its colorful dressing reflects a Chinese fairy tale story of the Phoenix to bring up the prosperity and good wealth ahead.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
ResoNet Pavilion is commissioned by Sinan Mansions as part of a series of 'Modern Sinan' events for the celebration of Chinese New Year in 2017. It consists of a temporary pavilion plus a 'resonet' attached on the inner surface, an interactive LED light installation. It employs Low-Fi techniques to visualise the resonance frequencies inherent in the natural environment, via the interaction of the public and surrounding elements detected by a LED net. While the LED net is almost invisible during the day time, the pavilion inner translucent polypropylene surface provides a backdrop background particularly at night. The outer-skin colour will be constantly changing and depended on visitors’ viewing perspective and peripheral lighting conditions.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The Pavilion illuminates the public realm in response to vibration stimuli. Visitors can come over to take a rest, interact with LED net and make Spring Festival wishes with their friends and families. At the same time, the Pavilion can be used as a center stage for hosting outdoor events. It has become a hottest meeting point during the festival of Chinese New Year.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project exhibited from 30th of December 2016 until 16th of Febuary 2017 at Sinan Mansions LED Plaza in Shanghai

Materials: polypropylene Sheets, Resin Panels laminated with lunar effect film sheet, led, elastic core, vibration sensors, perspex, led strip and others
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Stage Platform: 6.4m(W) x 4.88m(D) x 0.6m (H) with extra steps
ResoNet Installation: 5M(Diameter Circle) x 5m(H)
TAGS:
Prototype, Pavilion, Light installation, LED Light, Pop-up, Stage Design, ResoNet, generative, algorithmic, parametric
RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The name resonet is an amalgamation of the words resonance and network. Resonet is an interactive light installation which is aiming to explore the boundaries between art, culture, architecture and technology to create physical and ephemeral conditions.
CHALLENGE:
The biggest challenge is to find the appropriate material, construction methodology to achieve the balance between the structural stiffness, stability and lightness of installation. The shell structure has played an important role but setting up its parametric model is a challenge. Dealing with tolerance for site installation is also another issue.

NAME:
Sinan Mansions
PROFILE:
Sinan Mansions area is an immense urban regeneration at the heart of Shanghai former French Concession, which includes the redevelopment of 51 colonial mansions from the '20s and '30s into four projects: the Hotel Massenet, which refers to the French musician Jules Massenet, commercial stretch of F&B and retail; luxury apartments; and corporate villas. This area is bounded by Fuxing Road to the north, Sinan Road (former Rue Massenet) to the west, and Chongqing Road to the east. The revamped villas now mostly house restaurants, bars and lifestyle boutiques. Shaded by tall plane trees planted by the French authorities 100 years ago, this is a pleasant area as an open air historical museum but full of modern life.

I am in awe of the beautiful 'ResoNet Pavilion - Sinan Mansions' lighting project, which is a marvel of creativity and artistry. The pavilion itself is a mesmerizing sight, but what really stands out is the interactive LED light installation. This ingenious creation is able to detect and respond to the resonance frequencies of the natural environment. It is quite remarkable how the pavilion 's translucent polypropylene surface creates a stunningly beautiful backdrop at night, with its constantly changing colors. The thought-provoking inspiration behind this project is also commendable, being based on the shape of a jingle bell and a Chinese fairy-tale. It is truly inspiring to see how William Chen - Creative Prototyping Unit have used their creativity and artistry to design and create this stunning lighting project.

I am absolutely mesmerized by the creative and unique design of ResoNet Pavilion. This pavilion is not only visually stunning, but also interactive and engaging. The incorporation of an LED light installation that visualizes the resonance frequencies of the natural environment is remarkable. Even during the day, the pavilion is beautiful, with the translucent polypropylene surface providing a backdrop, but it is especially breathtaking at night. The constantly changing outer-skin color depending on the visitors’ viewing perspective and peripheral lighting conditions makes it even more captivating. It is no surprise that ResoNet Pavilion won the A' Design Award.
