SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Diameter: 11000 mm x Height: 6000 mm TAGS: Linear, Light, sculpture, Art, Installation RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The study of the morphology of bougainvillea, the mathematic nature behind it. And the design team made scale models to better understand the structure and the electrical wiring. CHALLENGE: We like to hang the flora body by minimal material, thus used cable and steel to developed a suspension system. And this is very challenging to make the entire LED bars to light up due to the fact that there are very small space for electric wiring in the linear structure.
