**”Cubical Heart”** for playground festival
The Installation is at the centre of the festival in the dining room, a social space where people gather, share food, and engage. The design draws inspiration from **the symbolic form of the castle Burgschneidung**, its square -shaped architecture, and the crosse based room’s layout, the positioning of the windows, and the floors.
The cube structure, with fully open doors on each side, mirrors this form, encouraging interaction and flow. This concept of open, connected spaces takes cues from artists like **
**, who explored geometric forms and spatial relationships, blending architecture and minimalist sculpture.
In the steel structure the cognitive paintings references the cross pattern, translating the castle’s traditional layout into a more abstract form. Like **Buckminster Fuller’s** approach to design, where engineering principles are used to create harmony between function and form, the structure of “Cubical Heart” functions as a living system. It’s animated by the presence of people, food, and sound—elements that work together, much like the interlocking parts of a well-engineered system.
At each corner of the cube, **eight canvases** play with light and texture, offering partial views of the chefs at work. These shifting perspectives are inspired by the works of artists such as **James Turrell**, who manipulates light to challenge perception. Depending on where you stand, visibility changes, where the chefs are becoming performers and appear and disappear, much like hidden layers within a functional system.
**”Cubical Heart”** explores the intersection of art and design, where communal spaces and geometric forms meet, much like the works of **Santiago Calatrava**,
. The installation invites the public to engage with this balance, creating an experience that blends function and special interaction. With
