Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation Bibliotheca / LAVA

Posted in Architecture - Installation by * FORMAKERS

The installation is an evolutionary display, which will adapt and grow in response to each new gallery project while creating an ephemeral and surreal experience with changing lights and effects.

Holding a selection of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation and Art & Australia publications in honeycomb shaped cells, the installation is backlit through transparent acrylic via energy efficient LED lights.

The installation showcases LAVA's ongoing fascination with the efficiency and beauty of geometries in nature - the potential for naturally evolving systems for new building typologies and structures.

“The shape of the installation is based on a “voronoi”, or “bubble geometry”,.

Dr Gene Sherman, director of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation who commissioned the work said, “LAVA's installation possesses an aesthetic that resonates throughout the gallery space while being surprisingly functional.

” The bookcase uses the latest digital fabrication and engineering techniques such as CNC milling and CAD CAM technology.

LAVA maintained a “digital chain” throughout the design and production process, which has established offices in Sydney, Abu Dhabi and Stuttgart over the past 12 months.
