This installation creates an interior condition that reacts according to an exterior streetscape, and reasserts an active role in shaping that public space. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), a category of metals that change shape according to temperature, offer the possibility of efficient, fluid movement without the mechanized motion of earlier technologies.
