Kinetic facade with small wind-animated stainless steel panels
A massive continuously moving public artwork covers the face of the five-storey Olympia car park in Dundee. The STEREO-KINETIC® Wall cladding incorporates hundreds of freely-moving stainless steel tiles, is said to create the impression of waves blowing over a metallic field of grass. Gusts of wind or traffic cause the metal rectangles to ripple in an ever-changing display.
The infill panels at ground level were manufactured out of a grating with a smaller aperture to provide enhanced security. The panels were supplied to custom sizes in a hot dip galvanized finish.
