Innuendo es un nuevo restaurante en Port Washington [Nueva York] que ofrece un menú americano contemporáneo con influencias de la cocina mediterránea, francesa y asiática.

Este proyecto, llevado a cabo por el estudio Bluarch architecture+interiors+lighting, está conceptualmente ligado a las nociones de auto-similitud y no diferenciabilidad proveniente de la definición de fractal de una geometría versus su esencia topológica.

La instalación del techo es una formación orgánica tridimensional, similar a una nube, en madera de álamo organizados para albergar a los ocupantes en un espacio suave, cambiante y siempre fluido.

Al igual que las geometrías fractales, la instalación en el techo en su diseño por capas es auto-similar y recurrente en el sentido de que su comportamiento formal es el mismo de cerca y de lejos, y co-existe con la no diferenciabilidad fractal, si se tiene en cuenta que la multiplicación esencial de cada miembro y su distancia crece desde el observador. A medida que aumenta esa distancia, la comprensión visual de la forma se multiplica con el mismo detalle, por lo tanto no es diferenciable.

Bluarch architecture+interiors+lighting es un estudio de Nueva York fundado por Antonio Di Oronzo en 2004.

Talk about seeing the light! Made up of over 55,000 colored LED lights, the Luminarie Cagna is a massive cathedral that will be on display at the second annual Festival of Lights in Ghent, Belgium. More than 200,000 visitors are expected to visit the town from January 26th to the 29th as the city is illuminated by dazzling light shows and other LED spectacles.

The eye-catching structure will be a stand out out in the town and is the work of Luminarie De Cagna, an Italian family business. During local festive occassions, the company would light up buildings with oil and carbide lamps, but most likely due to the high fire risk, this was soon switched to electric lights. Today, only LEDs are used for set pieces and they are joined together to make massive curtains of light that can be draped over buildings. This allows whole sections of the town to be lit up.

The LED Cathedral was designed with Romanesque and Renaissance architecture in mind and at its zenith, it stands an impressive 28m high. Unsurprisingly, the cathedral has already been drawing large crowds to Belfortstraat like moths to a flame. You also need not worry about the amount of energy being used, as despite being made from 55,000 LEDs, it only consumes 20Kwh of electricity. If you live in the region and are thinking of attending, then you’ll be happy to hear that the light festival’s theme is ‘Happiness’, which is not a coincidence since 2012 is the Maeterlinck Year in Ghent.
