WEAVING TRADITION INTO HCCH STUDIO’S DYNAMIC INSTALLATION HCCH Studio (read more here) opted for a space-saving approach and proposed a suspended installation above the main promenade instead of traditional plaza sculptures or entrance arches. The design consists of two gracefully curved double spirals of rings that glow in the dark. These helixes form an X-shaped steel frame suspended from steel cables attached to the gable walls. The continuous curved surface creates a dynamic and ever-changing visual perspective that enhances the experience from different directions and at different levels within the neighborhood. The connection of the rings to the main structure is inspired by traditional weaving patterns that were often used by the previous generation to make tote bags. The rings are flexibly connected to each other by the usually 5 cm wide woven bands, and their position is fixed by a sewing detail at the intersection of the bands. All weaving and threading work is carried out by hand on site. The continuously curved surfaces, the green and orange woven ribbons, and the enlarged handmade nodes contrast with the narrow alleys, gray bricks, and red tiles. At night, the people walking under the spirals of light encounter a captivating retro city scene.
