An Undulating Brick Facade Imitates the Free-Flowing Movement of Draped Fabric

German architecture firm Behet Bondzio Lin Architekten recently constructed a new headquarters for the Association of the Northwest German Textile and Garment Industry in Münster, Germany. The firm wanted the building to allude to the association’s work with fabric, and designed a facade that would imitate its folds through a gradient of bricks oriented at different angles.
The decision to recreate the appearance of a soft textile from a firm material was inspired by the alabaster folds of Max Klinger's statue of Beethoven located at the Leipzig Art Museum. The carved composer sits shirtless on an armchair with what appears to be a piece of fabric draped over his knee. The fluid nature of the sculpture’s scarf is believable, despite its composition of solid stone. A similar experience is shared by the new headquarters, however created from bricks rather than rock.

Spanish illustrator Sonia Alins Miguel created the surreal and overwhelming series ‘Water women’ and ‘Into The water’. Miguel’s two-part series of drawings show women floating in undefined fluid. Looking at her art works you literally become the observer. It feels like watching struggles for survival, incapable of doing anything#设计美学[超话]##设计秀##插画#

【沉浸交互装置《Fluid Structure 360》：用身体创造属于你的节奏】
近日，由交互艺术家Vincent Houzé设计的沉浸交互装置《Fluid Structure 360》在巴黎抒情惬意艺术中心(La Gaîté Lyrique)完成首映，它是《Fluid Structure》的衍生版本，旨在探索瞬息而逝的无定形结构在内、外部刺激下的反应。
与初代作品相比，新版的动态图像更为流畅，交互设计也更吸引人。力量的冲击与碰撞使装置的形状呈现各种变化：从弯曲变形到溶解断裂，再重新组合成新的凝结体。在整个交互过程中，动态图像紧随观众的动作而起伏，如影随形，让人感到既亲切又神秘。
戏剧化的数据可视效果强调了流体形状及其运动的内部结构。而计算机视觉技术的使用，让沉浸其中的观众幻化成装置的一部分，他们的身影在屏幕留下痕迹，这些痕迹转瞬即逝，如同辽阔海洋的一丝涟漪，颇为绮丽。此外，装置还采用了特效软件流体工具fluid solver，以实时处理流体形状受到的外力和约束。
