The company ioLabs co-financed the construction of Hypermotion, which was presented at the international exhibition “Time Space Existence” in Venice in 2023.
The authors of the project are students of the new field of study "Digital Construction" at the university in Lucerne, Anton Opanasenko and Giulia Bosshard. The project name is a combination of the words "Hyperboloid" and "Motion." The form originated as a digital model and was refined using physical simulations and generative design. The wooden object is held in space using steel cables. Visitors can turn a crank to observe how the flat object transforms its shape. This process is displayed on a screen, showcasing the digital twin of the wooden structure suspended in the space.
An important aspect of Hypermotion is its disassemblability. The materials used—wood and components made of biodegradable polylactic acid—can be separated and reused in other ways or recycled. This approach also extends the lifespan of the structure. The "Time Space Existence" exhibition takes place at Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and Giardini della Marinaressa in Venice and showcases innovative designs for the constructions of the future.
