monolith
Architectural space is defined by horizontal and vertical wall surfaces. In public areas, in particular interior spaces often appear impersonal, rigid and monotonous, and with their sterile lighting they offer visitors a low quality of stay.
The monolith module system is designed for such environments in order to undermine this dominant order by living, »communicating« elements. Its effect unfolds in the form of arranged light objects, which are synchronized to larger homogeneous surfaces and present a kind of meditative light effect.
With the aid of shape memory alloys, a reflecting film is placed in a pre-programmed movement and it projects the reflections of a fixed light source onto a translucent projection surface. The constantly changing shape of the film transfers to the resulting image and gives the impression of a spatial movement.
