CAT: Fabrication + Installation

Design: Studio Weave

Fabrication: Nicholas Alexander

Technical Design: Jak Drinnan / Tekne Lab

Location: University Hospital Bristol, UY 

STATUS: Completed 2014

Designed by Studio Weave and fabricated / installed by creative construction company Nicholas Alexander; UHB is a permanent art installation located at University Hospital Bristol, UK. 

 

The design functions both as a piece of art, but also as a performative surface to acoustically attenuate the large atrium. Working closely with the design and manufacturing teams, Tekne Lab developed the final fabrication logics by creating a physics based relaxation simulation in order to determine the precise steel cable lengths required for the artworks underlying framework.
