Kinetic sculpture in the park - Interactive installation
Experimental designers Keehyun Ahn and Minsoo Lee of AnL Studio are busily creating a giant kinetic sculpture for Brisbane’s South Bank Parklands – the festival hub for Unlimited. At 9m wide x 15m long x 5.5m high, Lightwave is their first interactive sculpture of this scale for a public space and testing is currently underway. It’s unveiled in October 2010 to launch the Unlimited program and remains in the parklands until December.
Their cultural aim with this commission is to start a new conversation about contemporary parks as performative public spaces, by offering a new and unexpected relationship experience between person and object.
From studios in Munich and New York, Keeyhun and Minsoo spoke with Unlimited about Lightwave.
What is the experience you hope to create with Lightwave?
We would like to think that people engage with the piece, not just as a sculpture or an art piece, but as an object they can play and interact with, like a huge toy, or even playmates. It sounds a bit crazy, but we hope it to be like some huge living creature, which people develop a kind of connection with. The concept of Lightwave is about communications and ontology between the ‘creature’ and the ‘inanimate object’. Through the experience of the sculpture we want to provoke the audience to think about two questions: What surrounds you? What do those surroundings mean to you?
How would you describe the Lightwave?
Light Wave has two clusters of seating and circulation space that form the main landscape of the piece. Each cluster is surrounded by clear polycarbonate tubes of differing density, angle and patterning, forming a visually undulated perimeter. Within the tubes are infrared sensors and micro circuitry that detect the motion of passers-by, signaling the programmed lighting responses that are emitted through the tubes.
Is the response mimicry?
No it is not mimicry, but a much more active and changeable response.
Does this work break new ground for you?
In terms of architectural structures, we built a small pavilion-like observation deck (Ocean Scope in South Korea), from steel shipping containers. Lightwave is our second public installation piece. Minsoo has a Masters degree in interactive spatial design, so he has created many indoor-size kinetic installations, but this is the first time application to an architectural-scale outdoors.
Who is working on the project?
We are both working on it together, and collaborating with Rory Nugent and Andy Doro – interactive computer programmers.
What’s the technology that makes it responsive to environment?
We call it physical computing, a system of inputs and responses. Briefly, there are three main components to it:
1) Input / sensing (infrared detection of movement).
2) Computer hardware and custom software (takes data signals from sensors and drives a programmed algorithmic response).
3) Output (LED lighting responses to the input).
How are you testing the Lightwave?
We are doing demonstrations in the studio all the time – all the systems are the same, just on a much smaller scale, so it will be very exciting when we finish the full scale version!

HyperTube art pavilion proposal - Finalist
Goyang city have been took place under new urban planning. Regarding this, there are enough planned greeen area and public space in-between singhouses and high-rise arpartments. However, in terms of the uses of this public space by residents, the occupancy/frequency is very low since there are not much interaction. First of all, we are proposing a medium to intrigue resident to this potential area(public or green) such as a pavillion for resident’s exhibition using current media technologies. So, it will take a part as a object and playground from kids to senoir. Also, it will create diverse/different activity.

Green Sharing - "mobile shed"
Green Sharing - "Mobile Shed"
The proposal questions typical typologies of storage, in which items are contained inside enclosed spaces. It suggests instead a system of aggregated external storage units – units which differ in size as determined by the dimensions of equipment contained within.
The mobility and flexibility of the units’ organization is the key sustainable concept in realizing an innovative form of storage. Units are aggregated in a radial pattern around a wooden central core. Mounted on wheels, units can be deployed according to the user’s needs. The mobility of the units eases the effort of moving heavy equipments. Furthermore, this structure can readily adapt to changing demands with the insertion of additional units.
The proposal expands the function of this structure so that it serves as a public space for the community as well. When units are in use, the structure provides a dynamic shaded space where neighbors can gather to chat and to party.
Above the mobile storage units, there is a greenhouse supported by the wooden column and six posts. Transparent plastic bottles form the enclosure of the greenhouse. Each bottle will be installed by members of the Pandora Park community, so that the greenhouse itself will be the result of community participation. The transparency of the greenhouse allows light in and simultaneously projects green outwards; this thus serving as a powerful metaphor for a sustainable community-owned tree.

DATA FORMATION - Featured by CNN
Featured by CNN (article by Nicolai Hartvig)
Imagine that you could double the size of your apartment as a reward for saving electricity, water and gas. It's an idea proposed by the Seoul-based design collective Randomwalks and architect Lee Min-soo for the green redevelopment of Incheon, outside the South Korean capital.
Called Data Formation, apartments would start at 90 square meters, with a system of sliding modules stretching the space according to how much energy each dweller uses and saves. Bespoke furniture would be designed to fit the size-shifting rooms.
"I'm trying to make data more relevant to the people who create it," Sey Min, the founder of Randomwalks, told CNN. "I get a bill every month for my electricity, but those numbers couldn't really help me change my behavior."
Data Formation can be seen as part of a growing trend of architects and designers seeking to help and engage people with important issues, and move beyond the one-way communication of electronic signs and glittering LED facades. To some, architecture itself is changing.

Interactive Shade
The INTERACTIVE SHADE project was started with three objectives in mind for the public square space. The first was to enable citizens to use the space more intimately(when sunny and rainnyday). The second was enabling the space to hold hundreds of different programs efficiently and flexibly. And the last was to reduce the loss of time and finances that occur whenever event programs switch.
I suggested the utilization of intelligent fabric structures, as in combining the preexisting Tent structure with the interactive mechanisms such as the Auto-Folded umbrella structure, the Interactive Pole and the Panel-Link system. This sustainable shelter structure would exceed the limit of simple mechanism from the old tent structure, which is not changeable or flexible. Also, it can make the composition of the plaza space more functional and dynamic.

Wrong-chair
There are really many good design and designer in the world. Whenever I open some magazine at barns and nobles they are always there everyday. It's actually really amazing for me. I think that every design is already great enough just except for 'wrong design'.
Today.. I make another wrong design again. Actually, I don't think It is bad design. However, I can find many seriously wrong things with this chair. It means that I am still a wrong designer.

Interactive Architecture - Purge Space
Interactive Architecture
Purge space is a public space that can purify urbanites by exposing the color of nature. This space captures the color from nature in urban ambient and abstracts it as a subject of the interior. It has interactive color-shifting motion graphics to make people feel like natural colors are floating inside the space. The structure is assembled with fabricated panels with electronic devices such as video cameras, projecting machines and solar panels for sustainability. The ambition of this project is to create an immersive architectural environment that can relax and mediate urbanites by experiencing the natural color therapy in busy city life.

colorfilter_space_4
Design Concept
I attempt to show the essence of nature’s beauty by abstracting shapes in the surrounding scene.
- Colors of the surrounding scene around the building gradually soak into the inner space.
- Realistic shapes of outdoor landscapes gradually disappear and distort. Then, the space becomes filled with floating colors.
- Colors start to change the space’s atmosphere, making it abstract and dream-like.
Designed by Minsoo Lee / 2007.3.26 / Thanks to Sonia Nelson
colorfilter space_2
What is it?
‘ColorFilter Space’, a means of experiencing nature from within the confines of the urban landscape. The building soaks up nature’s diverse colors into its own body. The building inspires emotional responses in those who experience it.
This public space will allow people to reflect upon the beauty of nature without necessarily being exposed to it at the moment.This space can provide them a keen awareness of and reverence for the natural elements.
I believe that this is the first step in creating sustainable design.
Application of Sustainable Design
+ Solar Energy System
+ Interactive Video Installation
+ Screen Surface Material
+ Maintenance of Digital Contents toward a Texture on the Building’s Surface
An accumulator, running on the heat of the sun’s rays, would power the inside projector. The solar energy system would supply power for the beam projector. Digital scenes from the projector would continuously replace themselves, maintaining a fluid presentation.
The camera would be set up on the exterior of the building so that we could see the colors of the outdoors on the inside surface. If it is snowing outside, for instance, the inside of the building would be filled with white. If it is raining outside, the inside would become blurry.

ColorFilter Space_1
Problem/Background
From winter’s snow to spring’s sprouts, nature is mysterious and beautiful. Each season, nature’s scenes change--each unique and memorable. However, caught up in their routines, residents of cities often overlook the importance of nature. The urban landscape hardly allows them to experience its beauty.
