The transformation in season prompt me of this cool quondam project in cold Helsinki , where a squad of designers turn an abandon oil tank into a adorable , twelvemonth - round public art labor .
The silo is located outside of Helsinki in Kruunuvuorenranta , a residential surface area across the water from the city . The neighborhood ’s old harbor and terminus were largely desert , but a commission from the World Design Capital program brought new lifespan to at least one derelict social system : A 9,100 - straight - infantry oil computer memory tank on the bound of the ocean .
Along the tank ’s steel plate , a group of designers from theLighting Design Collectivepunched a pixelated framework of tiny holes — each replaced with an LED . Each of these 1,250 diodes is keep in line by a central computer , programme to react as the atmospheric condition outside changes . The steel shell twinkles and shimmers in warm reds and nerveless blue sky until 2AM ( when the last ferry back to Helsinki leaves ) .
The project openedpermanentlylast year , so check it out if you ’re nearby . And even if you ’re not — these are not bad moving picture for an autumn weekend . [ LDC;Designboom ]
