Fig. 23.16 Glenn Wooldridge Y4, ‘Solar Redirection’. As cities become ever denser, the project conjurs a future Paris where responsive systems redirect light around buildings into public spaces and parks. Robotic arms fitted with reflective panels create heliostatic systems attached to tall buildings in order to bend light around them. Fig. 23.17 Neguin Amiridahaj Y4, ‘Urban Space and Indeterminacy’. Positioned in a sensitive public space – where unusual objects might arouse suspicion – this viewing device allows room for a personal interpretation of the scene pictured within it. It heightens the perception of a public urban space, both through its very presence and through the selective, distorted and obscured views it offers. Fig. 23.18 Group Research Y4, ‘Shadow Lines: an installation for the Solar Decathlon, Versailles’. A fabrication project, using
large scale robotic depositioning to build a 1:1 installation, to be shipped and installed in Versailles in June 2014. The geometry was visualised as a light path prior to printing using a UR10 robot.
