Design the behaviour before the object.
Every commission begins with timing, range, sequence, stillness and repetition. Digital studies and physical rigs are used to judge the movement at the intended viewing distance before the mechanism is fixed.
AUTHË KINETIC WORKS
Technical Practice
Movement appears effortless only when the system behind it is exact.
AUTHË develops motion, structure, light, controls, module breaks, crates and installation as one coordinated project.
AUTHË technical practice
Grace depends on rigour.
A kinetic work must perform visually, mechanically and spatially. AUTHË develops those requirements as one system and records them clearly enough to fabricate, ship, install and service.
One coordinated technical record.
The commission dossier records overall dimensions, module breaks, loads, fixings, clearances, power, controls, cable routes, crate sizes and assembly sequence. Concept sheets communicate intent; approved project drawings govern fabrication and installation.
Large in the room. Rational in transit.
Structure, moving assemblies, optics, lighting and controls are divided according to access and service needs. Numbered joints, keyed connectors and pre-terminated looms reduce work on site and allow individual systems to be removed without dismantling the whole piece.
Test, document, calibrate.
Before packing, the work is assembled and tested in the studio. On site, structure, movement limits, light, control schedules and safety clearances are checked again. The handover set records operation, cleaning, inspection and replacement procedures.
A
Concept issue
The visible intent, standard envelope and first site assumptions. Not for fabrication.
B
Design development
Coordinated dimensions, modules, loads, power, controls, access and service strategy.
C
Approved drawings
The signed project set used to release fabrication and confirm the commercial scope.
D
Handover record
As-installed information, operating guidance, inspection points and serviceable assemblies.
