Ryan公司开发并建造了新的奥斯汀城市规划和发展中心，将以前位于独立建筑中的几个城市部门进行了组合。Ryan通过RFP过程选择Fyoog在建筑的主大厅设计，制造和安装新的艺术品，这将作为一个焦点特征和视觉统一识别城市部门的集中化。

《Aurorae》（极光）

我们参与了建筑施工过程的后期，这要求我们在已建立的建筑、结构和施工约束下工作。作为回应，我们设计了一个雕塑，最大限度地提高了垂直存在感，同时保持了相对较小的占地面积，以免与大型吊扇和结构连接点冲突。我们用透明的聚碳酸酯管悬挂电缆，里面填充了彩色薄膜，在保持视觉体积的临界质量的同时，将重量保持在最小。大型的聚合形式由3000多个独立的部件组成，这些部件加强了整个建筑的调色板和几何形状。

“极光”这个名字的灵感来自于夜空中不断变化的天体颜色。这件作品通过变换颜色叠加实现了它微妙的美——根据观众的视角和不同的光线条件而变化——当它们在构成大厅的空间周围移动时。

Ryan Companies developed and built the new City of Austin Planning and Development Center to collocate several city departments that were previously housed in separate buildings. Ryan selected Fyoog through an RFP process to design, fabricate and install a new artwork in the main lobby of the building, which would serve as both a focal feature and a visual unifier identifying the centralization of the city departments.

Aurorae

We were engaged near the end of the building construction process, which required us to work within established architectural, structural and construction constraints. We responded with a sculpture that maximizes vertical presence while also maintaining a relatively small footprint, so as not to conflict with the large ceiling fans and structural connection points. We suspended cables of clear polycarbonate tubes, infilled with colored film, which kept the weight at a minimum while maintaining a critical mass of visual volume. The large aggregated form is made up of over 3,000 individual pieces that reinforce the color palette and geometric shapes used throughout the building.

The name “Aurorae” is inspired by shifting celestial colors in the night sky. This piece achieves its subtle beauty through shifting color overlays - that change according to the viewer's perspective and varying light conditions - as they move around the spaces that frame the lobby.
