Studio TWS, Tim White-Sobieski, Architectural light projects and designs

W Hotel in Guangzhou, China, Guangdong Sheng, Guangzhou Shi, Tianhe Qu, 珠江新城冼村路26号 邮政编码: 510623. The architecture of W visually intrigues, and at the same time creates a spatial odyssey that invites exploration and keeps senses invigorated. Within the unified architectural mass, individual components are given their own expression: the private residential portion i.e. guest rooms and apartments are clad in dark granite / glass, their scale subtly defined by a matrix of vertical glass fins, while the public portion i.e. bar, restaurants and spa are enclosed in transparent glazed boxes that visually spring out from the dark background and allow the hotel’s ambience to radiate into the surrounding neighborhoods. With major hotel functions needing to be stacked up vertically by virtue of the compact size of the urban lot, the architecture is an actual embodiment of an intriguing spatial journey from the ground up: a three-dimensional and intertwining sequencing of diverse spatial forms and experience, from the narrow and vertical entrance vestibule, to the spacious but intimate reception ‘living room’, to the transparent bar in the floating glass box, all the way to the green and semi-enclosed swimming pool resting on the building’s top.

Project Name: W Guangzhou Hotel and Residences; Location: Zhujiang Xincheng Guangzhou, Guangdong; Client: KWG Property Holding Ltd ; Architect: Rocco Design Architects Ltd; Local Architect: Guangzhou Foreview Architect Institute; Light Art: Studio Tim White-Sobieski; Art Consultant: James Robertson Art Consultants; Engineer: RBS Architectural Engineering Design Consultant Co Ltd; M&E Engineer: J.

Multimedia light artwork for the new Louis Vuitton flagship store on Champs-Elysses in Paris. The project consisted of a 24-meter programmed fiber-optics video wall, the only one of its kind and size at the time in the world.

"Alpha" - Fiber-optic video installation, Louis Vuitton, Paris. 20-meter-long video wall alongside the "traveling staircase" (escalator) in the Louis Vuitton new headquarters on Champs-Élysées, was a breakthrough in video high definition technology in 2005. The wall displayed endlessly changing compositions on the subject of four seasons; living logos of Louis Vuitton design appeared as nature's creations throughout the artwork. The idea of traveling in time (while on a "traveling staircase" and surrounded by the images of the eternally changing and remaining in tact product design), was successfully implemented.

PROPOSAL FOR ANIMATED LIGHT INSTALLATION - Beijing Daxing International Airport is a new airport in the Daxing district 46km south of the city centre. Developed to alleviate congestion at the capital’s existing airport, Beijing Daxing will be a major transport hub for the region with the world’s fastest-growing demand for international travel and is fully integrated within the country’s expanding transport network. Light art installation proposal includes a complicated array of pixel-matrixed LED RDBW spot lights that are programmed as an entire light field. That allows to match existing structural design with similar light patterns and light sequences.Diagrams for the light LEDs cluster positioning were designs as a freestyle drawing on the top of the existing architecture, thus giving a unique and unpredictable viewing experience. The proposal under a project name “Painting with Light” is intended to recreate a shimmering effect of a night sky, thus complimenting the ideas of Zaha Hadid Architects to bring light into interior during daytime and create a delicate effect of a gleaming sky.

Media facade project by Studio Tim White-Sobieski. The façade of the Shopping Center in Miami demonstrates that an image or a text message require a systematic matrix while the pixel elements can have any geometric form. This insight allows for many design options. Behind the structure there is a constant net of LED lights. The transparent media façade mesh MODULORPIX® designed by TWS Studio in collaboration with Cree and Osram allows the display from moving patterns to high-resolution video content on new or existing façades. The tailor-made media façade system has a modular structure and can therefore be scaled easily to any size and arrangement. The wire mesh façade can completely or partially be designed as a media façade. In addition, areas with different RGBW LED resolutions can be realized within one project. For even more customization, the LED profile housing and the stainless steel mesh elements can be adapted with a variety of colors. Perfectly adapted for outdoor use, the daylight-suitable media façade system offers various options for challenging requirements of existing architectural style and weather conditions. Project was conceived with the images created by “MovingPainting® light LED programming code, a trademark style and program from TWS studios, a project that continuous for 3 decades with a vast spectrum of code variables, styles and technological applications. MODULORPIX® high-quality architectural mesh from TWS studio has been combined with the latest LED technology to develop media façades. The result is a high-performance, versatile LED system which is embedded into the architectural structure of a building.

GARE DE LYON SAINT-EXUPÉRY | LYON-SAINT EXUPÉRY AIRPORT RAILWAY STATION, COLOMBIER-SAUGNIEU. The structural silhouette form of the terminal is emphasized by dynamic colored light, while the underside of the train rail level features integrated monochromatic RGBW LED programmed lighting. A lighting control system (TWS Studio) allows for animated light movements in the main structure and in the wall cells, resulting in flood light fields covering the entire structure of the building while incorporating morphing patterns of light travelling along the terminal. The visual experience is overwhelming as from inside the terminal as well as for city line and distant observation. Project is based on 12 programmed channels running asynchronously to provide infinite number of pattern combinations. All light technologies solely copyright of TWS group and TWS studio. Lead architect & designer Tim White-Sobieski.

GARE DE LYON SAINT-EXUPÉRY | LYON-SAINT EXUPÉRY AIRPORT RAILWAY STATION, COLOMBIER-SAUGNIEU. The light and design project was based on the ongoing research by TWS Studio of free form structural designs, computer generated sequences of shapes related to light, sound and weather conditions, that further could were utilized as a basis on an architectural project based on its geography and climate. It was applied for exterior and interior designs, and resulted in a wide variety of sub-projects and related designs based on the computer code with a project name “deconstructedreality(DR)® The projects were acquired by a wide number of art museums and Investment funds art collections, and resulted in more than 8000 designs. Light programming is based on the Infinite and Random computer languages, all technologies copyright Tim White-Sobieski
