2. Stabile and Mobile OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO ACTIVATE AN EXISTING SPACE This requires the study of following visual aspects of the given space: Scale and proportion Quality of space in terms of Light and its changing pattern Material Color Texture And these functional aspects: Purpose or Function of the space Human Movement around or Circulation pattern Entry and Exit Grouping around
3. Stabile and Mobile HOW DOES ONE DO IT? By producing a piece of art or a sculpture which is purely abstract and helps express through appropriate placement of form or object the physical, functional, visual and psychological aspects of the space. This piece of ART can be categorized into: STABILES MOBILES COMBINATION OF STABILES and MOBILES
4. Stabile and Mobile STABILE: Not able or intended to be moved. Unchangeable, Firm, Stable, Dynamic, Static.
5. Stabile and Mobile MOBILE: Suspended in mid-air whose parts are set in motion by air currents. Changeable, Expressive, Uncertain Movement, Flexibility, Rotating, Twisting.
7. Stabile and Mobile Aspect of Movement The viewer moves around a stabile to get different view, while a mobile can offer different views being in motion itself to a stationary viewer.
8. Stabile and Mobile Aspects of Light, Color and Movement (around the object) An abstraction of an eagle just about to gain flight Dynamism along with movement is so harmonious with the joyous atmosphere at the beach The same stabile during day time with a different quality of light appears more grounded.
9. Stabile and Mobile Aspects of Light, Color and Movement (mobility of the object)
15. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect : With respect to function The function of the space plays an important role in the selection of form, color and material. Simple, playful forms with bright colors would be an apt selection for a primary school building.
16. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect : Large scale geometric blocks composed to form a stabile in a school setting. The same becomes dynamic when it is occupied by kids
17. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect A Dance School: The whole composition is a collage of abstract shapes developing into anthropomorphic beings performing a dance ritual expressing joy and happiness. These dancers are not only large, even heroic, they have a presence, and their celebration of life is memorable.
18. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect The same concept with a different interpretation of forms.
19. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect The "Paper Planes Mobile“, a hanging kinetic sculpture commissioned for Edwards Air Force Base in California. The "paper" planes are constructed in aluminum and the crossbars are stainless steel. It is right by the "Distinguished Visitors Lounge.
20. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect The Book Edges: A Mathematical Calculation A mobile in a Library Building Atrium . of Masses through Integration and derivation.
21. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect The Summer Pavilion at Harvard University Campus designed by a student to study the potential of aluminum as a material and to commemorate the graduation of Design School students .
22. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect The Vertical Constellation: An interpretation of Molecular Motion Interpreting relationships of for a science convention Universes and Cosmic Energies
24. Stabile and Mobile The Space Aspect: The space, surrounded by rectangular modern buildings, necessitated the kind of arching forms and dynamic surfaces that a large-scale stabile could provide. Miniature of the same in the interior space.
