The kinetic wall

Whilst researching into ways of encorporating a water theme into my Honours project building i came across the 'kinetic wall'.




'The effect is created with 250,000 aluminum panels which are loosely suspended so as to move gently with the wind. The huge kinetic artwork captures the ever-changing movement of the wind in a graceful way that also happens to be naturally calming. Maybe the road rage that results from trying to fight your way out of a crowded parking garage will be lessened by the smoothly rippling panels that look eerily like a displaced lake.'

It will also provide the car park with ventuilation and therefore cutting energy costs.
