Dancing Particles: A Display of Movement and Art in Architecture
Design: Dizo Group
Client: Negar Ghoreishi
Location: Vancouver
Status: Under Construction
Description
Project Overview
The Dancing Particles project in Vancouver is an innovative architectural design currently under construction by Dizo Group, in collaboration with client Negar Ghoreishi. The project incorporates Curtain Wall systems to create a repeating, scalable pattern on the building’s façade. The name “Dancing Particles” is inspired by the fluid and dynamic motion of particles, which is artistically represented in the architecture of the building.
Design Approach
The design approach for Dancing Particles is based on the following principles:
Movement and Dynamism: The building’s façade is designed to evoke a sense of movement and life. The repeating patterns create a lively, dynamic appearance, reminiscent of dancing particles.
Use of Curtain Wall: The Curtain Wall system allows designers to create transparent, modular patterns that are scalable, enabling the building to adapt to environmental changes.
Diversity and Repetition in Patterns: The repeating patterns shift with changes in light and shadow, connecting the building with its surroundings and offering varied visual experiences.
Sustainability and Environmental Harmony: The design emphasizes sustainability and the use of environmentally friendly materials, ensuring the building harmonizes with nature and contributes to environmental preservation.
Interaction with Residents and Community: The interior spaces are designed to encourage interaction and connection among residents, while shared spaces such as balconies and terraces foster social experiences.
Curtain Wall: A Fusion of Technology and Art
In this project, the Curtain Wall functions not only as a structural element but also as an artistic feature, helping to create unique, repeating patterns on the façade. Its lightweight and transparent nature allows natural light to flow into the building, maintaining a visual connection between the interior and exterior. The adaptability of the Curtain Wall enables designers to accommodate future changes in the project seamlessly.
Conclusion
The Dancing Particles project, through its intelligent use of Curtain Wall systems and dynamic, repeating patterns, presents a unique blend of movement and modern architecture. As a cutting-edge structure in Vancouver, it serves both as a functional building and as a living piece of art, interacting with its surroundings.
