The intelligent dynamic wall is an installation designed by E/B Office for Leonardo Museum of Art, Science and Technology
in Salt Lake City, Utah. It aims to communicate the global
environmental information through an interactive interface embedded in
the material of the wall. It tries to convey the idea of applying green
techniques to built space as a live, conscious system, fully integrated
with the environment.
Environmental sensors
capture data from sources throughout the planet and feed the data to
solar-powered LED’s embedded in the sine-wave form made of recycled
plastic. As the sensors register changes in temperature, wind,
seismicity, and other factors, the LEDs reflect these fluctuations with
continuous spectral waves that represent minute shifts in the data feed
from moment to moment. At 92 feet long and over 14 feet high, the
structure covers 1300 sqft of vertical exhibition space traversing
the museum’s ground floor lobby and acting as a programmatic threshold
between exhibit spaces. It’s composed of 176 unique recycled HDPE fins
embedded with 1,888 full-color RGB LED’s and held together by
approximately 8000 individual set screws. The estimated amount of
plastic this project diverted from a landfill is around three tons.
The different colors flowing through the wall indicate temperatures
around the globe, while also showing actual wind speed. In a situation
of earthquake, the world map displays the location and strength.
Visitors are able to interact with the installation, using Twitter to
alter the global weather feed, consequently changing the visualization
displayed on the wall.
