EXPANDING MECHANISM

NOMA | DENMARK

KINEMATICS IN 3DIMENSIONS

A prototype that explores the notion of Projectile Motion using water - activated counter weights that are thrown with an initial velocity in the vertical plane and then it moves in two dimensions under the action of gravity within a certain trajectory.

​

As the kitchens become ‘activated’, mist is released into the perennially cold air. Water- activated counterweights absorb the moisture , increasing their own weight and activating the architecture. Hundreds of tensile filaments are brought to life, expanding the walls and roofs to create sheltered environments for Noma’s diners. Steam pours through the face of the building creating a layer of heat warming the restaurant.
