Victoria & Albert Museum Visit
Took a trip to the V&A last week to see the Ove Arup exhibition, Engineering the World: Ove Arup and the Philosophy of Total Design. Total design has always been an interest. Two gems from the exhibition were the SoundLab room, which I studied in my BEng Part 1, and the simple yet effective diagrammatic exemplar of the Sydney Opera House forms, pictured.
FOIL by Benjamin Hubert was a very immersive and dynamic installation to the Tapestry Room, pictured. The mechanically moving plane of mirrors made mesmeric patterns of triangles of varying focusses giving a differing view of the tapestries.
The Elytra Filament Pavilion, by Achim Menges, Jan Knippers, Moritz Dörstelmann and Thomas Auer, is a woven glass and carbon fibre filament structure fabricated in situ by a robotic arm and reacted and altered the design to how people used the space, pictured.
