Luxury Logy • Mechanical Flower: Giant Kinetic Sculpture That Opens and Closes

A giant mechanical flower with a diameter of nearly sixteen meters hangs above the water: a spherical volume composed of nearly seven hundred small metal flowers, each driven by an independent motor, capable of individual opening, closing, and rotation. The petals are cut metal plates, their surfaces reflecting the ambient light. The entire installation computes in real-time based on environmental data—wind, light, pedestrian flow, sound—to determine when each flower opens, so the pattern never repeats. At night, internal lights flicker with the opening and closing, casting reflections on the water. The supporting structure consists of slender steel frames and suspension cables. Night view shot from a low angle on the waterfront, with the metal flowers in various states of opening and closing, visible simultaneously with their reflections on the water. Avoid: all small flowers opening and closing synchronously, looping with a pre-recorded program, removing water reflections, heavy and obtrusive structure.

一朵直徑近十六公尺的巨型機械花懸在水面上方:由近七百朵金屬小花組成球狀的量體,每一朵都由獨立的馬達驅動,可以個別開合與轉動。花瓣為切割的金屬板,表面反射環境的光。整座裝置依現場的環境資料——風、光、人流、聲音——即時運算,決定每一朵花在什麼時候開,因此圖案永遠不重複。夜間內部的燈光隨開合閃爍,倒影落在水面上。支撐結構為細鋼構與吊索。夜景從水岸低角度拍攝,金屬花的開合狀態不一,與水面倒影同時可見。避免:所有小花同步開合、以預錄程式循環、拿掉水面倒影、結構粗重搶戲。
