Engine that Breathes

Project Title: Engine that Breathes

Condition: Built

Date: 06/2019

This installation was developed in collaboration with BMW Barcelona Motor and showcased at the "Hotel Art Fair 2019" at the W Hotel in Bangkok.

The design explores perception and spatial illusion by disrupting the visual continuity of repeated linear elements. As viewers move around the piece, the seemingly rigid form begins to shift, fracturing, unfolding, and gradually revealing its underlying geometry. Each curve was computationally generated to evoke the aerodynamic fluidity and lightweight performance emblematic of the BMW X7. The installation embodies the dynamic interplay between strength and flexibility, capturing a harmonious convergence of engineering precision and organic form where machine and nature meet in design.

The design captured the essence of street mood.

Then integrated into the simulation; breaking from the ordinary.
