Math-driven artwork for Broadgate, with sculptor Vlad Tenu

The finished piece at Broadgate

Sculptor Vlad Tenu asked me to build a custom tool to explore ideas for a large lighting feature — the centrepiece of a Broadgate fit-out. We devised a math-driven approach: two colliding sine waves with an exponential function controlling sculptural tension, tunable by lamp density, curve steepness, offsets, depth, even colour temperature.

Paired with Dynamo and Enscape, the workflow let the sculpture be shaped in real time using VR, ensuring the form worked within the tight lobby space.
