HALOS

HALOS is a large-scale installation composed of a matrix of gold and silver reflective circles, suspended in midair and set in continuous rotation. Located at the heart of a former railway factory in Florence, the work unfolds a continuous choreography of movement and reflection that permeates the space it inhabits with light. As they rotate, the suspended circular forms visually intertwine, generating a constellation of reflections produced through the interaction of light and material. @rubenpb The vertical architecture of the atrium, organized across three levels, establishes a multiplicity of vantage points from which the installation reveals itself in constantly shifting ways. Through the movement of the audience within the spac... More

Water Capsule Submarine

Water Capsule Submarine highlights the relationship between land and water.

A submarine-like space carved into the water droplet frames and captures the city’s skyline, filters the surrounding landscape through a ripple texture and invites the audience to experience the city underwater. Constructed out of a double inflatable skin, visitors can see and be seen through the rippling water.  whynotsplash whynotsplash whynotsplash whynotsplash Leon Xu Liang New Office Works New Office Works New Office Works New Office Works Light plays an important role as we...

Dancing Stone Forest

Wetlands are a gift from nature to humanity, and living in harmony with nature is the best way humans can repay nature. Art installations in wetlands should not only entertain people but also evoke a profound appreciation of the beauty of nature.

Four art installations were set up in the picturesque Hulan Wetland. We aimed to use familiar elements and objects as a starting point to attempt to redefine the interaction between humans and nature in creative ways. "The Dancing Stone Forest" is one of these install... More

Ring 9

“Ensuring that Charleroi’s Inner Ring Road (R9) plays a more positive role in the identity of the urban space” — that was the goal outlined in the brief established by the Walloon Region and the City of Charleroi in 2012.

OVOID - Riyadh

"Ovoid" challenges the relationship between the viewer, the environment and the work, proposing, through perception, a deeply physical and sensory experience. Ruben PB Ruben PB Suspended under the Wadi Hanifah Bridge in the city of Riyadh, this 35-meter-high illuminated red ovoid not only inhabits the landscape: it activates it, redefines it and transforms it into a space that questions notions of scale and materiality. Ruben PB Ruben PB This large-scale intervention imposes an immediate relationship with the human body. Moving around the installation, the public is confronted with a constant play of proportions and references that reconfigure both its perception of the place and its position within it. Ruben PB...

Core Physiotherapy Rehab & Wellness

Given the constraints of a subterranean basement space, the challenge here was to create a space where clients of Core Physiotherapy could be welcomed and motivated to the challenges of rehabilitation and wellness. One of the first design priorities was to maximize the existing light in the space from a series of clerestory windows. By angling the ceiling planes we were able to achieve two things: allow space for more light, but also maximize the height of the ceilings by grouping mechanical services in the lowest part of the ceiling.  Rémi Carreiro Photography Rémi Carreiro Photography This seemingly practical architectural response initiated a design study in how the architecture of the space could imbue a dy...

CONES

“Cones” is a site-specific installation of hundreds of traffic cones wrapped around the front columns of the Aula Academica at Ghent University.

During the night the cones glow, adding a layer of transformation to the experience of the street space. Caption In "Cones”, "SpY" continue exploring new monumental formats that involve new concepts, dialogues, processes and tools, as well as new w... More

Room of Illusions

Brief Concept summary  “Your mind has an ability to bend the future. It is your mental projection overlaid on the existing reality and your past memories. It has the ability to twist and turn that reality, to write a new narrative every moment. What you fear, what you desire, what you fantasize, what you lust after; it all presents itself as moments triggered as markers over your timeline, the path you choose, becomes your future.” If one were to unfold that very idea and conjure it into a life size walkable-audio-visual-interactive experience, perhaps, “the room of illusions” is exactly what it might look like. Amit Mehra Explanation What might the inside of our mind look like? Swimming in the ocean of... More
