Weave is continually changing visual spectacle that softens the utilitarian nature of the car park and creates a positive and uplifting visual impact on the hospital and it's users.
From the outside the facade has the appearance of a woven fabric of light with varying textures shot through with fine threads of pure colour. From the inside there are a succession of views affected by the different colours and levels of transparency. Extra lights installed in the stairwell at the entrance create an interesting colour sequence for people walking up the stairs and a beacon for the car park at night.
Using IP rated fluorescent tubes fitted with special coloured sleeves and by carefully designing the various angles of the louvre blades intense bands of electric colour mix with light entering and leaving the car park to create an intricate, texture of light, colour and transparency.
Weave was commissioned by Qpark as part of the 'Art for Life' program at Musgrove Park NHS Hospital Trust Taunton - Architects Potter and Holmes Architects.
