95 | Class instalation Charlotte Area Transit System Surface, a new, permanent, public art installa-
2017,Cornelius, NC United States tioncreated by Ivan Toth Depena for the Char-
96 | Class instalation ARTIST: Ivan Toth Depeña lotte Area Transit System (CATS) opened in late
ARCHITECT:Redline Design Group 2017. The comfort station, located in the Cornelius
97 | Class instalation Park and Ride, offers a rich visual and experien-
tial public space, enlivening the busy commuter
152 thoroughfare and immersing users in an ab-
stract bath of light. As Mayor Chuck Travis states,
“This is the coolest park and ride in all of CATS.”

The 3 dimensional, colored glass installation
was inspired by one of Cornelius’ adjacent ge-
ographic attractions, Lake Norman. Depeña
used actual underwater topographic data from
Lake Norman to recreate the abstracted expe-
rience of looking up through the surface of the
lake. The artist wanted to build on the emotion-
al experience of swimming beneath the water’s
surface by having the light cascade and refract
color on the surfaces of the structure. This play
of light and color is intended to respond dynam-
ically to the site by changing throughout the cal-
endar with the movement of the sun. This allows
waiting patrons to experience & enjoy a colorful,
impressionistic view of the of the topography of
Lake Norman that changes throughout the day.

Blues & greens echo the colors of the lake while
shades of orange in the design connect back to
the Carolina clay makes up much of the lake bot-
tom.

This project was a unique experience which al-
lowed the artist to work directly with the architect
of Record, REDLINE design group, to influence
the 3-dimensional form of the driver’s comfort
station. This collaboration allowed the underly-
ing concept to develop seamlessly from studio
sketches to final fabrication and construction.
The overall shape utilizes a modern design that
incorporates a cantilevered awning to function as
shelter for riders but also fuses with colored art
glass installation. The positioning of the angled
sculptural centerpiece aligns directly with the po-
lar coordinates (North, South, East and West) and
utilizes the specifically engineered, canopy size
and angle to take advantage of the sun’s angles
throughout the day. This harmonious blend of art,
architecture & native vernacular not only gives
riders shelter from their environment but also
connects them back to their native environment.

98 | Telled exterior lamp Suitable for wet locations A post top decora-
tive lantern with good downward indirect light
154 distribution. Outstanding visual appeal and pre-
cision optical system gives very low glare rat-
ing, whist reducing light pollution. Main appli-
cation designed for used almost anywhere, car
parks, precincts, pathways and town centres.

The LED luminaires have features such as long
life, limited maintenance and constant lifetime
performance. Extruded aluminium column. Die-
cast aluminium housing with high corrosion
resistance. Stainless steel screws. Durable sili-
cone rubber gasket. Clear tempered glass lens
diffuser. Powder coating with high corrosion
resistance with chemical chromatised protec-
tion. Remote control gear installed in the pole
top. Anodized high purity aluminium reflector.
Telled by Lichtlauf

The exterior lamp Telled perfectly illuminates
driveways, gardens or porches. It can be installed
in half public as in private places as well.
Due to its unpretentious design the luminaire inte-
grates in various surroundings and attracts atten-
tion by the created light space.
The light reaches the ambience without having a
dazzling effect on the observer.
Telled can be mounted on a concrete base,
ground spike or baseplate.
Coated stainless steel and aluminum, used for
this lamp, are appropriate materials for outdoor
use.

99 | Acrylic fluorescent panels Regine Schumann constructs simple boxes and
tubes from industrial materials. Ranging from se-
100 | Acylic fluorescent panels ries of simple acrylic boxes to amalgamations of
coiling tubes that spiral down from the ceiling, her
156 sculptures are greatly influenced by architecture
in their graceful forms and geometric precision.

While the individual surfaces, shapes and bod-
ies seem to preserve a constancy, their col-
ours conveys a fluctuating character, a kind of
physically tangible resonance experience, con-
fusing the senses with the radiant intensities
as a colour echo in the room. Tiny boxes jut-
ting out from the wall, groups of parallel panels,
and monumental slabs work together to create
an altogether harmonious and graceful effect.
In daylight, the streamlined blending of transpar-
ent and opaque surfaces in each work interacts
in a playful study of light and form. Due to Schu-
mann’s use of phosphorescent paint, under black
light, her sculptures are transformed into glowing,
mysterious objects that radiate through the dark-
ness. Once the lights go out, suddenly colours
are shift and surfaces seem to dissolve into noth-
ingness, surrounded only by a glowing outline. In
addition to her analysis of light, colour, and sur-
face, Schumann’s work also references Minimal-
ism’s interest in simplifying art to basic forms. Her
oeuvre consists of many compelling juxtaposi-
tions of circles and rectangles, dramatic linearity
and dynamic curvilinear forms that are especially
highlighted under the aura of black light. These
duplicitous encounters with Schumann’s sculp-
tures allow for an ever-changing viewing experi-
ence.

CONCEPT

The urban population and organization of Izola are
crucial for its further development, both in the Urban
sense, as well as in demographic, cultural and eco-
nomic. The current state of Izola shows the need for
redefinition of urban space and as starting point we
are working on “Cankar’s avenue”. In order to maintain
the continuity of the entire boulevard, we introduced a
concept line, as three-dimensional forms, that would
define the new space and its architectural elements.

CONCEPT

PROGRAM

We have decided to devide the boulevard in two sec-
tions that interact between eachother.
The primery part presents a continuous path that
starts in the city center and ends on the coast, on the
edge of Izola. It presents the traditional part of the town.
This part contains shops, caffes, restaurants, etc...
We created the secondary part with withdrawing the
construction line, wich created an extra space, that in
our solution plays a static part. It presents an elite, mod-
ern, new part that contains banks, discos. malls, etc...

BIENNALE

In addition to its primary function of space or defining
the boulevard, its secondary role would also serve as
an exhibition space for artists, who would define their
artwork through a given space and thus respond to a
given theme, critique society and thus raise the cultur-
al community of Izola.

DESIGN

The concept of a line defines the whole space as well
as its individual parts.
Symbolically, the line begin from its “source” which is
represented in the form of a fountain, emerges from
it and continues to form other elements of space.
The first and primary element is the exhibition space,
which is presented in the form of two circles, which at
a certain height allow artists to express their thoughts,
ideas and criticisms.
The line then continues to secondary spaces, pre-
senting the reinterpretation of the pergola as a signifi-
cant element of Mediterranean architecture.
In addition to the fountain, the line also defines an im-
portant intersection, which is shaped in the form of
a concentric spiral, which in its shape represents an
important place and center of the boulevard. In the
end, the line completes its course by entering the sea,
thereby achieving a metaphorical account of its infini-
ty. By introducing the mirror as an essential element in
space, a reflection is formed that reaches the moment
of metaphysical infinity and thus further enriches the
space.
