Crashing Waves

Designed in a manner that both the user and the structure react kinetically with each other, this structure faces that the CEPT south lawns resembles waves splashing against a rock. These waves move through swings, that form the heart of the structure. Thus the rotation aluminium fins that produce the illusion of waves, depends directly upon the speed of the person swinging, with the waves splashing greater towards the peripheries of the structure. A neat little place of brick, concrete and metal to relax; this space is designed to pull you in- for lunch, studios, or just silent contemplation.
