Wavelength draws on the movement of fabric stirred by air—the hem of a coat, a tablecloth, or a handkerchief. Installed along the second-floor edge and aligned with the building’s air vents, the installation translates this motion to an architectural scale.
Motors drive phase-offset cams that move dyed steel wires in a continuous wave. As the wires overlap, their shifting density and color soften the rigid steel, giving the mechanical structure the appearance of lightweight fabric caught in the air.
Wave Mechanism:
Mounted along the second-floor edge, the aluminum installation uses motors to drive 300 phase-offset cams, moving the dyed steel wires into a continuous wave. From different angles, the overlapping wires create a dynamic gradient shifting from transparent to blue.
