parametric design and fabrication drawings for scenography
time tunnel
type: scenography
role: computational designer
collaboration: Estudio Guto Requena
location: Santa Catarina, Brazil
year: 2023
The time tunnel was developed in collaboration with Estudio Guto Requena for Spaten and serves as the entrance to the VIP area of Oktoberfest 2023 in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Managed by Camila Gonçalves, the tunnel’s concept drew inspiration from the brewery’s history and its iconic symbol, the pennant. My role involved translating this concept into the tunnel’s design and producing the executive drawings for construction.
The design symbolizes the passage of time, moving from past to future, represented by an hourglass pattern on the floor. Two key symbols from Spaten’s identity were integrated: the pennant at the entrance and the arrow at the exit. These elements were morphed using Pufferfish (Grasshopper) to generate the metallic LED frames, which display significant dates from Spaten’s history, reinforcing the concept of time in motion.
Leston Studio produced the videos to translate these ideas into a more realistic setting, and Studio Doisdois created the renders.
