THE CLOUDS
REST WALL is an installation art that improves an abandoned public wall; the
150-meter-long wall has been peeled off after being painted a long time ago;
the lower flower bed is also abandoned and damaged.
DESIGN
The CLOUD SEEDS, which have a cross-sectional shape like a pinwheel, constantly rotate at various speeds and draw various images of the sky on the wall. at every moment. The CLOUD SEEDS create hundreds or thousands of combinations of sky and clouds by the wind or by the hands of people who pass through this place.
The CLOUD SEEDS are made of aluminum for lightweight and durability. The cross-sectional shape governs the structural loads, public safety, and easiness of operation. In collaboration with structural engineers, vertical and wind load, frictional force, and aerodynamics were reviewed; finally, a frame with the minimum structural and visual burden on the existing wall was devised. The steel frame for fixing modules is installed in line with the joint of the wall. While threading CLOUDS SEEDS, steel rods are connected to the horizontal bar and are joined together to the L-shaped angle, which is then fixed to the retaining wall to support the total weight of the assembly.

FABRICATION
Conducting 1:1 mock-up tests several times in the fabrication lab with a 3D printer and a CNC machine not only allowed us to reduce manufacturing errors but also allowed for prompt pre-assembly in the factory. Mass production and painting in the neighboring factories also accelerated the fabrication process. Each module is finished with PVDF coating to realize various colors and increase heat, cold, and abrasion resistance.

INSTALL & PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
THE CLOUDS REST WALL is completed with photos of the sky collected with the participation of citizens, it allows those who took the photos to stay for a while and touch the Cloud Seeds. The scenery of the sky created by various colors of Cloud Seeds becomes another inspiration for those who come and go to this place every day.
CLOUD SEEDS have different colors on all three sides; the colors are extracted from the photos of skies taken by citizens and converted into 8 PANTONE colors. On top of that, short messages or corresponding information about the colors were inscribed.
