Abstract: | Der von SOMA Architecture aus Wien, Österreich entworfene Themenpavillon “One Ocean” ist eines der wichtigsten Gebäude der Expo 2012 in Yeosu, Korea. Die dem Expo-Gelände und dem Haupteingang zugewandte Seite ist von einer kiemenartigen, mit LED bestückten beweglichen Medienfassade geprägt. Sie stellt einen gestalterischen Bezug zum Meer her und ermöglicht die Lichtsteuerung des Gebäudes. Grundlage der Entwicklung der kinetischen Fassade war die Analyse natürlicher Bewegungsprinzipien. Die Verwendung von glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoffen (GfK) erlaubt große reversible elastische Verformungen und ermöglicht somit eine komplett neue Interpretation wandelbarer Strukturen. Bio-inspired kinetic façade for the thematic pavilion “One Ocean” EXPO 2012 in Yeosu, Korea The Thematic Pavilion “One Ocean”, designed by SOMA Architecture, Vienna, is a major and permanent building for the Expo 2012 in Yeosu, Korea. The façade facing the expo area and the main entrance is conducted as kinetic media façade symbolizing the gills of a fish. The façade therefore illustrates the theme of the Expo “The living ocean and coast” very well. Development of the kinetic media façade was inspired by flexible deformation principles found in plant movements. The project is a role model for a novel application of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) for deployable structures as well as for advanced biomimetic research and design. |
