项目概况:

Twirl by Zaha Hadid in 2011 Milan Design Week is an 800 m2 installation created for Interni Magazine. Through the study on courtyard architecture, the design utilizes a series of ultra slim slabs by Italian ceramic manufacturer lea ceramiche to fabricate a vortex-like three-dimensional structure. Drawing from the natural contours of the plot, the installation emphasizes its arches and curves to distort its sense of space. The varying planar ceramic sheets, a product called “slimtech”, are arranged to transform the rigid geometries of the courtyard into a fluid and dynamic spatial construct. The system of panels fluctuates in height, reaching a verticality of up to 2 meters at its apex. Seven different shades of color ranging from milky white to coffee black give the installation a constantly-changing appearance, taking advantage of the transforming daylight and the curvature of the design. A series of fluorescent tubes produced by the architect highlights the spiral movement, spreading from the center to the edges of the site and in turn lighting the existing architecture of the setting.
